Having set its feet firmly in the executive education industry in Sri Lanka, PwC’s Academy has set its sights on launching a revolutionary Advanced Management program for trend setting C-suite business leaders.
As a senior business leader, you are at the top of your game. You have ticked almost all the boxes in your checklist to be at the top, learnt enough frameworks and models throughout your career and applied them in your business. Hence, you may wonder what more there is to learn. It is, however, a messy complex world out there with a whole new level of disruption, technologies and dynamic trends and in this new world of business, your next hurdle would be to develop a better sense of judgement and be more cognisant of your strengths and weaknesses as a leader.
You need new lenses and perspectives to make sharper decisions, adapt better and most importantly be mindful as a leader. That is what the Advanced Management program aims to achieve as it focuses more on enhancing your judgement and less on models and frameworks.
Some of the latest research findings signify that CEOs and business leaders tend to demonstrate specific behaviours that prove to be critical to their performance.
Decisiveness: High-performing CEOs stand out for being more decisive. They make decisions much quicker and portray a greater level of conviction regardless of ambiguity, incomplete information and uncharted territory domains.
Adaptiveness: Willingness to learn and the ability to adapt and operate in changing multi-cultural environments are critical to CEOs. They should not only have a high level of intellectual awareness; staying current on market trends but also have a personal sense of flexibility and adaptiveness.
Mindfulness: In a fast paced world, mindfulness enables you to clear your mind of clutter, focus on what is important and be emotionally intelligent.
Why is AMP
so unique?
Advanced Management program is not an ordinary executive education workshop.
This elite program is designed by an award winning educator along with a cohort of world class faculty from leading business schools across the world.
“Every once in a while, senior leaders need to get off the treadmill of work, decision-making and pressure, in order to step back and examine their leadership. Without that, leaders are prone to developing what psychologists call ‘cognitive depletion,’ a state in which we are no longer learning. The antidote to this is to enter a state of renewal, in which we are able to re-store ourselves, re-examine our mindsets, and redefine our goals and strategies in collaboration with others. This is what exactly what we try to achieve during AMP program,” said Prof. Sudhanshu Palsule, Course Director.
Diverse world class faculty: In typical Advanced Management programs with reputed universities you are limited to a faculty from one university. But this has a flexible resource pool of together a diverse group of world class faculty teaching at world’s leading business schools across different continents. (Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, Cranfield Business School, INSEAD, London Business School, ESSEC Business School, IE Business School) and most importantly the program is tailored to the Asian context by PwC’s subject matter experts.
With whom will
you be learning?
The program fosters an environment for deep and insightful self-reflection; facilitated by the diverse peer group and experienced faculty members who are approachable.
You will be learning with 25 exclusive top notch CEOs and business leaders from leading corporates in Sri Lanka and the region, sharing different perspectives of the same challenges which makes the program a great peer learning experience. You will immerse in an integrated learning experience for three weeks to recreate a new and refined leadership path ahead.
PwC’s Academy’s Advanced Management program is for seasoned business leaders, with proven general management experience, possibly overseeing multiple products or markets.
