Description

This course involves working with an organisation to address a practical issue of strategic importance. This course will be undertaken by participants on completion of the core courses in the program. Working through a real challenge (e.g. digital, data, innovation, strategy, or similar) the participant will need to create informed-solutions to the problem. Typical of many projects a list of recommendations or proposed next steps generally evolve. The nature of this course requires that the participant, in consultation with the organisation, implement at least one of the proposed recommendations. If deemed appropriate, a scenario implementation will be accepted.
