5 Courses. 24 Weeks. 100% Online.
Whether you’re new to management, a first-line or middle manager, a team leader or a seasoned executive, the ability to successfully influence the teams you work with and guide the teams you lead through continuous change and transformation is important for your continued effectiveness as a leader and for the growth of your organization. Through the development and execution of strategy aligned with change management knowledge, you can build resiliency, agility and infuse new thinking within your teams and organization overall to capitalize on change, rather than being disrupted by it.
The Creative Business, Strategy and Leadership Certificate from Michigan State University will equip you to recognize the most potentially disruptive drivers of change—from both within the organization and from external market forces—assess the impact of disruptors on your organization, create an effective change strategy and lead the future of the organization with strategically aligned values, purpose, goals and vision.
This professional development program consists of five 4-week courses and one 8-week course that can be taken in succession for the Professional Certificate or individually by those transformational leaders and decision-makers who are looking to target certain skills and knowledge.
