For students who aspire to a management role, this course will prepare them for the radically different world of work brought upon as a result of many social, cultural, generational, and technological changes as well as those related to the post-pandemic world. Whether it's the challenge of leading a multi-generational and distributed/ remote workforce, adapting to constantly changing technologies or responding to economic, financial, political, social or environmental shifts, the manager of the future will have to have the knowledge and skills to be nimble, adaptable and responsive. A cross-disciplinary approach will pull in the latest thinking from Management, HR, Marketing, Finance, Technology and other sectors and will highlight notable trends across business such as the digitally-enabled organization, humanizing the workplace, sustainability, employee engagement/retention, learning agility and others current and emerging trends.
