Rachel Ward, Learning and Development Manager
This one-day event delivered by AUDE and BUFDG will give a short, sharp and impactful day of leadership development. The day targets the skills we have identified as core for successful leaders in this constant changing environment; the skills that will make future leaders in Higher Education stand out from the crowd and drive innovation in the HE sector. Using external leadership experts (EDIT Development) with insights from some or our own inspiring leaders within HE, we bring the best from both worlds into this new event format.
What's included? The day will involve three powerful leadership ‘expresso’ sessions. In each 90-minute expresso, we will share the core aspects of three leadership skills giving you strong insight to each. In each session you will have personal leadership actions to take away and actions to lead change in your organisation.
The day will include a panel session on ‘Strategies for Results Driven Leadership’ with a current University Finance Director, a University Estates Director and an external leadership member. You can hear effective strategies for driving change in both Higher Education and external organisations. Have your questions ready!
Often, one of the underestimated skills in leadership is the ability to build and maintain networks. This event will allow you to network with like-minded individuals across the sector and with those delivering the day. You will have the opportunity to share contacts (if you wish) and to start to or increase your personal network. A personal network can support personal resilience, strategic thinking and innovation.
Who should attend? The event is aimed at aspiring leaders within Estates and Finance. You may be a deputy, head of function or similar. The key is that your position does or will require you to lead with impact and to create change imminently. We want attendees to be able to action the learning straight away to gain the most ‘return on investment’ for the individual and the organisation.
The event takes place on Friday 3rd May and costs £250 (plus VAT) per delegate. The full agenda is available on the booking page. For any queries, please contact Rachel.
