Leadership and Organisational Growth is a transformational development programme, that addresses three key levels of personal and organisational growth delivered by highly experienced practitioners from the world of business, sport, psychology, public service, military and politics.

LEADING MYSELF How you operate

Growing your understanding of what motivates you, how and why you make decisions and how they are shaped by your experiences and context.

LEADING MY TEAM How you influence others

Whether it’s your team, your strategic partners, your clients or business stakeholders, this programme is about learning how you can effectively shape the actions and decisions of others

LEADING MY BUSINESS How you manage and lead your organisation

From the culture you promote and live, to how you plan and manage change.

Participants will be immersed in an accelerated learning experience through a series of engagements, each one facilitated by an industry leader, focused on action learning, with participants working together in teams to develop solutions to case studies and exercises. To complement each of the three blocks a guest speaker will share their insights and experience relevant to each of the core blocks within the programme.

Each of the three Speaker blocks include numerous reflective exercises to apply the learning through a range of engaging case studies, as well as linking to your role and organisation. To complement the programme, for those who want a more enhanced approach for their personal growth, we are delighted to provide tailored coaching through our Evolve coaching programme, delivered by experienced and qualified Ingenium coaches.

2 hours online per week for 12 weeks commencing Wednesday 22nd January, 2025, from 2-4pm (Irish time). Full schedule of course dates below.

The Personal Leadership and Organisational Growth programme consists of three core blocks tailored to accelerate your learning, regardless of where you are at in your personal and organisational growth. Each core block contains three sub-modules and a guest speaker selected specifically to support these modules through their own practical and professional experience. This will culminate in a graduation upon completion of the course.

Each 5 credits will normally equate to approximately 100 Total Learning Hours. Total Learning Hours includes the time you spend in class (lectures, tutorials, practical elements) and the time you spend completing work outside of college. The balance between these two varies by discipline, and by level of study. You should bear in mind that the workload will increase at particular times e.g. when assignments are due.

Continuous assessment in the form of a reflective journal for each block.
