About
Given the volatility and uncertainty in the market place where businesses navigate, their ability to achieve organizational objectives for sustainability has become more relevant than before. The changed macro environment had led to a result based management approach at every level rather than a process based approach of doing work.
As such, businesses must be able to align employee performance towards business outcomes in a value delivery system where employees are resourced, trained and managed in a manner which realizes their own professional goals as well as the goals of the organization in an environment which demands individual and organizational agility for survival and resilience.
This engaging course seeks to equip the intended target audiences of line managers, supervisors, CEOs and small business owners with the competencies in managing staff toward business outcomes by creating a working team that is anticipatory, proactive and engaged toward the business value proposition.
