Programme Description
Creating, articulating and implementing policy is a key function of leadership; understanding topical issues and framing the debate is not only an important part of a campaign – demonstrating a willingness to engage in innovative ideas will create confidence and trust, will build support over the long-term.
The UK’s Industrial Strategy is a response to consultation, collaboration and consensus: the programme will share the process; how a strategy is developed; benefits and challenges; how to create a supportive narrative; and how to monitor, measure and scrutinise objectives.
The programme will also examine and appraise a number of strategies in different environments, including the political. Students will gain an understanding of how the thought process behind ‘strategy’ is a foundation of leadership.
Key Topics:
- Responding to national priorities
- What impact, in terms of leadership, is needed from an overarching strategy such as the UK’s Industrial Strategy?
- Leading the debate through policy development
- Creating a narrative and a message
