This unit focuses on developing individuals, leaders, and organisations as a means to addressing the challenges posed by the deepening skill shortage. The unit assumes that organisations operate in complex and rapidly changing environments, and that the development of people occurs in a range of organisations. As such, leaders, managers and individuals at the cutting edge of change need improved capability to manage change and development in a useful and practical way.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
In on-campus mode, the unit will be delivered using a combination of seminars, team based discussions, workshops, guest speakers, case studies, and online group activities, discussion forums and reading. The off-campus delivery will offer an interactive learning experience through online group discussion (synchronous and asynchronous), online team activities, team produced wikis, blogs, web resources, recorded lectures, reading materials, and case studies. Intensive mode will offer a blend of both on and off campus delivery. There will be 4 full days on campus (2 x 2 day sessions scheduled on Friday and Saturday) in conjunction with online discussion and support. The learning will be based on adult learning principles to maximise learner motivation and engagement with the content. The learning will require active participation by students. Facilitation will encourage and support learners to learn from and with each other, through collaborative learning techniques.
