Transformational Change and Strategic Leadership
LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Companies and industries
are experiencing radical change in how they operate and serve their customers.
Many of them are undergoing transformational change, adopting new business
models quite different from how they originally started. This happens within a relatively short period
of time, for if they don’t evolve, they face obsolescence and a quick market
exit. This course prepares leaders and senior management to successfully deal
with new business realities introduced by rapid, and in many cases turbulent,
market shifts. It also avails them of
the opportunity to explore new alternatives to their existing business models
and equip them with leading strategic and planning tools to prepare their
organizations for the next transformational journey.

transformational change.
