The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it significant challenges and issues; and has forced organisations to make radical changes to their normal operations, a central pillar of which has been, where possible, personnel working remotely. Many organisations have little serious experience on how to establish such remote working as a part of the ‘new normal’.

The course focus is on four key areas:

• The leadership and management of remote teams and operations
• The deployment of information, communications and technology (ICT) platforms, systems and tools to effectively and successfully build remote teams’ and operational capacity and capability
• How such ICT platforms, systems and tools can enhance, enable and empower remote teams and operations in a robust, resilient and agile manner.
• How such ICT tools can enhance communications, collaboration, performance and productivity, making a significant contribution to SMARTER, agile and dynamic organisational and business excellence.

The Strategic, Transformational and High-Performance Cultures Leadership webinar course is designed for ‘C’ suite and senior-level leaders and managers who are responsible for the strategic direction of organisations, leading organisational excellence and transformational agendas and initiatives and for building and leading high-performance senior leadership and operational teams and cultures.

There are four main course objectives.

The first is to provide participants with the best practice and leading-edge strategic, transformational and senior-level leadership knowledge, skills, attributes, confidence and competencies to be able to successfully lead high-performance organisations, business, teams and cultures.

The second is to understand the nature of and how to build and lead high-performance cultures and teams.

The third is to provide senior leaders with a broad range of strategic level frameworks, knowledge, skills, competencies, techniques and tools through which senior leaders can successfully and effectively author, build, develop and lead organisational agility, excellence, resilience and sustainability.

The final objective is is to encourage leaders to critically reflect on how major challenges, issues, crises and emergencies, can be used as a catalyst for driving transformation, constructive change and improved organisational cultures.
