With a comprehensive understanding of ethics in business and decision-making, as well the importance of psychological safety and diversity, you’ll have access to the techniques and frameworks needed to use change as an opportunity for enhanced competitive advantage.
This course is designed to empower leaders and equip them with the tools to excel in times of external and internal change.
