Harness Experiential Learning to Enhance Decision-Making

Apply Below
Loading Information

Formulate and implement decision-making tools through experiential learning to enhance strategic dynamic processes and productivity whilst working remotely.​

Successful business continuity is enabled by impactful decisions. Although business leaders and knowledge workers are normally well equipped with formulating and executing decisions in the workplace, only a few dedicate time to develop interpersonal skills optimal for decision-making remotely. This programme is an interactive learning experience and will provide you with “real-world environments” by placing participants in a team-based setting where they will run their business and make decision involving leadership, strategy, customer and employee challenges.
