GSB Strategic Social Engagement Practice
This course is designed to build the capacity of all managers and professionals in organisations to respond effectively and innovatively to emerging system pressures and trends affecting the socio-economic development agenda. In the context of increasing societal expectations, the course aims to develop the ability of participants to engage positively with all stakeholders impacted by their organisation’s operations.
The Strategic Social Engagement Practice short course is delivered largely through lectures, interactive sessions and group work, and is followed by a project task in which each student is required to apply the tools and practices developed in the course to their daily work practice.
