Developing and sustaining high-performance teams
Organisations are facing unprecedented conditions. Leaders have to deal with huge uncertainty and disruption while trying to sustain and build momentum. Staying connected with the people in the organisation, reassuring them, motivating, developing and inspiring them, is a major imperative. This programme brings out how organisational effectiveness can be achieved even in the face of extremely trying circumstances.
This programme examines three key aspects of increasing people and organisational performance: Talent management – here, you will explore topics such as recruitment, diversity and retention Performance management – where you will examine goals, evaluation and rewards Employee development – here you will look at building potential and career management.
These issues are linked and we shall discuss how the system of these elements within the organisation can be improved. We will look at current trends in these areas, particularly the influence of technologies including AI, and the value of data analytics.
