The workshops are made up of topics which develop good leadership and management practices including:

  2. Managing ideas and innovation
  3. Developing and managing networks
  4. Information based decision making
  5. Project development and control
  6. Planning a change process
  7. Personal development as a manager and leader

The six module programme costs £1,200 per person, while the full seven module programme, with personal development workshop and integrated Chartered Manager assessment, costs £1,640 per person.

All learning is supported through the Scotland Excel Academy’s online platform where participants can download learning materials, upload assignments and communicate with fellow students.

Looking for a tailored course?

Councils can also work with Scotland Excel to implement a tailored course for their organisations. At Inverclyde Council, leadership and management has been combined with specialist modules on social care commissioning to create the Leading and Managing Strategic Commissioning programme for care professionals and third sector partners.
