Course Description

This course takes three key areas of high-level management practice and provides a creative and challenging vehicle for students to improve and develop competence. The four areas; data analysis, communication and leadership of teams are broken down into contexts, tools, skills and knowledge to create a platform for self-evaluation of skill gaps and weaknesses in participants. Interactive sessions are utilised in presenting and critically evaluating models of analysis, management and behaviour in simulated workplace settings. Team-based case studies and role-play are employed to facilitate skill development and evaluative skills in students.
