The Warwick Executive Diploma in Strategic Leadership & Change

Reach the next level of leadership and give your organisation the strategic edge

Do you want to develop your understanding of leadership and gain tools to become an effective leader?

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. It requires leaders to have an appetite for problems and paradoxes that cannot yet be solved, and the need for organisations to be adaptable and innovative is essential. 

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.

The Executive Diploma in Strategic Leadership & Change directly links leadership with strategy and innovation, and the personal with the professional, to offer immediate impact and long term development for individuals and organisations.

You will develop your strategic leadership abilities to enable you to lead strategic growth, innovation and transform your organisation during periods of change and uncertainty to give your organisation the strategic edge.

As a participant on the Strategic Leadership & Change Executive Diploma, you will receive three high level 1-2-1 Executive coaching sessions during your time on the programme. As a Senior Leader, if you are already receiving Executive Coaching, we will liaise with your Coach to complement the existing sessions you are receiving.
