Ready to Oxford ?

?In a time of turbulent change, organizations need to invest in their potential leaders to sustain competitive advantage. The Leadership Development Program (LDP) organized by one of the prestigious business schools in the UK Sa?d Business School, University of Oxford is the one that we believe will facilitate the needed development.

To create a challenging, relevant, and impactful curriculum, we have designed an 8-day program outline that addresses themes such as disruption, change, and strategic thinking.

The Program is structured across three overarching themes and draws from leading-edge research. The themes are industry disruption, a red thread that runs through the whole program; the mind of the strategist; and leading self and others.

?Together, these themes constitute a holistic development experience that can help participants become well-rounded, effective leaders. The sessions are designed and delivered in a challenging, thought-provoking way that is suitable and engaging for senior leaders.

EIBFS has partnered with Sa?d Business School, University of Oxford to design a two-week executive development program for outstanding managers from the Gulf region. The Leadership Development Programme faculty team has created an impactful program based on action-oriented learning experiences and participant-centered classroom discussions.

The first half of the program “Mind of the strategist in a disrupted industry”. It includes sessions that focus on the strategic competence of leaders such as strategic alignment, understanding technology disruption, and balancing competing strategic demands. It also contains sessions that are directly relevant to financial services, such as a session on platforms and ecosystems and another on orchestrating winning performance in financial services. We also include sessions on the important themes of strategic thinking and decision-making competencies of leaders such as the session on strategy under uncertainty, and the session on effective decision making and cognitive biases. Finally, we have sessions on leading self-such as building emotional resilience and leadership body language. The theme of disruption is included explicitly or implicitly in these sessions and will be a red thread across the whole program

The second half is labeled “How leaders deal with industry disruption”. It includes sessions that focus on important leadership competencies such as aligning operations and people with strategy and leading change and innovation. The focus on strategic thinking initiated in the first half continues with a session on how to deal with wicked, undefined, and multi-dimensional problems. We also examine applied cases of industries that are dealing with disruption such as the auto industry and the space industry.

?Finally, we end the program with a hands-on, theatre-based session based on the work of Shakespeare's “The Tempest”. The tempest is a metaphor for technology disruption and the change it brings to industries. This session is intended to help participants integrate a lot of the ideas they engaged with through the program, and understand as leaders, how they can more effectively deal with disruption at the individual and organizational level.

Overall, the program aims to inculcate leadership knowledge and competencies that can help the participants become effective and well-rounded leaders and strategists.
