In an ever-changing world that presents new challenges, it is essential for leaders to be prepared and forward-thinking. Strategic Leadership is future-focused.

For organisations to survive and thrive in dynamic contexts, leaders and senior executives need to be ready to engage with the full spectrum of change strategies, from incremental change to organisational transformation, as well as the development of new cultures of agility and responsiveness.
