It’s clear that the ‘Age of Uncertainty’ is upon us, bringing with it market turbulence, stunted growth and political change. In unprecedented times, leaders bear the burden of balancing the scales from the needs of the employer versus those of employees, to prioritising agility and innovation along with structure and strategy. The best leaders are the ones who master this balance, calmly addressing complex challenges with confidence and clarity. The Oxford Diploma in Organisational Leadership creates meaningful connections between experienced leaders, enabling them to share and develop the best practice needed to effectively navigate change, lead with purpose, and strategically respond to future challenges. Immersive, interactive and rigorous, this part-time, master’s-level programme consists of four modules taught in person in Oxford over one year: 1.Leadership fundamentals 2.The strategic mindset 3.The strategic leadership 4.Building resilience as a leader Upon successful completion, participants graduate from the programme with a deep understanding of their executive influence, the practical tools to develop as a senior leader and to respond effectively to unprecedented business scenarios, and the advanced capabilities required for the most challenging leadership roles. Led by Academic Director Sue Dopson, the diploma is based on four intensive modules in the areas of leadership fundamentals, the strategic mindset, the strategic leader and building resilience as a leader.
