Leading and Managing with Emotional Intelligence

Course length: Two days
Eligible for Continuing Professional Education Credits

Research shows that Emotional Intelligence can be twice as important as IQ and technical skills in determining who will become a top performer. Enhancing Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) skills can have a transformative impact on you as a leader – and can transform your other life roles as well. This workshop explores the concept of Emotional Intelligence and its application organizationally, as well as personally.  We will discuss how Emotional Intelligence can be used for leadership development, personal development, career development, and workplace planning and building high-performance teams. Unlike IQ, EQ can be learned, developed and improved with well-designed development programs, feedback and coaching through a cluster of skills and competencies that has a great effect on leadership effectiveness.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Course length: Two days
Eligible for Continuing Professional Education Credits

In every aspect of our daily lives, from the way we work, shop, communicate or socialize, we are both consuming and creating vast amounts of data. In fact, “every two days we now create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.” These daily activities create a trail of digitized data that is being stored, mined, and analyzed by firms, like yours, hoping to create valuable business intelligence.

Much of the promises of such data-driven policies have failed to materialize, however, because executives find it difficult to translate data into actionable strategies. Indeed, “Data are widely available; what is scarce is the ability to extract wisdom from them.”

Data-Driven Decision Making aims to bridge the gap by instilling in executives a general intuition for data-driven decision making and equipping leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to analyze large databases and use effective data visualization to gauge key metrics.

Developing New Products

Course length: Two days
Eligible for Continuing Professional Education Credits

The new product development process continues to be a critical business process through which successful innovations and proper implementations continue to underpin sustainable growth, especially in new and emerging markets. Improper new product development process management is one of the single most timely or costly initiatives to any company. Untrained, slightly trained and experienced leaders and managers continue to require a better understanding of the up-to-date processes, procedures, and techniques to be successful in business.

This course is designed to provide an overview of the new product development process (NPD) for leaders and managers. The course will be introduced attendees to the typical processes associated with an NPD initiative. During the course, attendees will be introduced to many of the expectations, interactions, dependencies, deliverables, procedures, and key elements a successful leader or manager typically engages in.
