Educational Aims of the Course
The Strategic Leadership Programme has been co-designed for the City of Liverpool College (the College), to be delivered across five modules addressing the College's strategic goals and core programme objectives, comprising of ten days face-to-face learning. The five elements will be delivered over approximately ten months.
The programme will be delivered via five elements -
- Leading Change
- Leading People
- Leading Thinking
- Leading and delivering Strategy
- Leading Diversity
The wider learning experience will incorporate optional masterclasses, an active learning process, executive support and psychometric analysis to enable the college leaders to create a field of change, which achieves the strategic vision and inspires their own leadership learning. This pedagogical design is based on LJMU’s curriculum principles of sustainability, inclusive learning and education for wellbeing (Teaching and Learning Strategy, LJMU, 2023).
The Programme aims to:
1. Demonstrate understanding of the positive impact equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) bring to an organisation, with EDI considerations embedded across the programme.
2. Act as a catalyst for equitable social change and generate innovative collaboration, tracking and evaluating social value.
3. Support the College’s ambitious strategic plan, which supports and celebrates an aspirational culture for its diverse community, ensuring ethical development and accurate representation of culture to address the College's organisational priorities.
4. Reflexively addresses the individual leader’s engagement with vision, strategy and leadership thinking and practice, critiquing diversity and ethical leadership whilst considering complexity, ambiguity and systems thinking.
