The Copland Program for Emerging Leaders

In these changing and uncertain times, businesses need to think about their next generation of leaders.

• Who are your young executives with great leadership potential?
• How do you retain your talented staff in these challenging times?

The Copland Program is a series of six interactive seminars on specific themes. At each seminar, the facilitator will discuss cutting-edge theoretical frameworks followed by speakers who will share their first-hand industry knowledge.

The Program, run in partnership with some of the country's leading education organisations, is a unique approach to leadership development, designed for the current environment.

The Copland Program:

• Gives emerging leaders direct access to today's business leaders.
• Prepares emerging leaders to face the challenges of running a 21st century business.
• Unravels the layers of complexity behind external issues affecting organisations.
• Gives emerging leaders knowledge to draw on in the future.
• Guides emerging leaders to make more strategic decisions.
• Enables emerging leaders to lead their business in new directions.

It's an efficient and effective way to develop the knowledge and thinking of your young leaders. By attending engaging and challenging monthly interactive seminars, participants learn theory from experts from Australia's leading business schools, followed by the practical implementation from an industry leader.
