This short-course certificate program helps you integrate both strategic thinking and organizational savvy through interactive and practical learning. You will:

  • Boost performance through strategic thinking
  • Make decision-making more strategic and effective
  • Gain practical tools to augment team collaboration
  • Decipher organizational politics
