What you study

BUSINESS TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Best suited for: Lower-Mid Level Management

1 Day - £82

It can be difficult to process, digest and understand the regular and often conflicting actions of government throughout the pandemic. Making long-term strategic decisions has never been so challenging and this unit seeks to offer some answers. Based on the most up-to-date research and statistics you can expect to understand how consumer behaviour has changed. New habits have been shaped from shopping behaviour to product requirements and understanding the demands of the consumer post-Covid will be critical to the success of any company.

REMOTE MANAGEMENT

Best suited for: Lower-Mid Level Management / HR

1 Day - £82

The world of work has changed significantly and is highly unlikely to return to a pre-Covid state. Instead of fighting against the tide, companies will need to adjust to the demands of the workforce and embrace this change. Measuring KPI’s and addressing the key issues for employees that continue to work remotely will rank amongst the biggest challenges for companies. This unit offers guidance for doing so by addressing both sides of the employer-employee relationship.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Best suited for: Upper Level Management / Executive

3 Days - £240

Making decisions in the absence of information increases the risk for any company. This unit addresses the internal and external challenges facing key decision-makers as they attempt to navigate their way through Covid, Brexit and an ever-pressing Scottish referendum. Strategies are covered for crisis management to provide the tools for companies to strengthen their processes for future situations that arise. You will have the ability to build on your understanding of assessing business health and how to formally assess this.

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

Best suited for: Upper Level Management / Executive

2 Days - £162

Outside the box thinking is often needed to handle situations we are not used to being in. The day-to-day aspect of executive decision-making is facing a growing challenge and this unit offers a different approach to handling situations. It also encompasses the development of a strategy to its execution and the components that must be considered which are often forgotten about. The final part of the unit addresses the risk involved in decision-making.

HR ADAPTATION

Best suited for: HR

2 Days - £240

HR is the heart of every company and has never been so stretched. What began as a temporary measure of remote working in 2020 is looking evermore permanent and companies must seek to become more sustainable with the changing environment of the workplace. HR can benefit from the three core elements of this unit from transitioning, expectations, and the future of the workforce.

NAVIGATING COVID

Best suited for: All staff (without strategy) Management (with strategy)

2 Days - £162

There may be a vaccine that has injected a degree of confidence into the business community, but the unknown variables are just as high as before. The question of “What if” continues to hover and knowing how to handle COVID in the next few years must be considered to best manage the varying scales of impact. This unit offers new working practices and a model for success regardless of the level of threat from COVID taking on board various strategies and approaches that can be adopted.
