The FINANCIAL — Cambridge Judge Business School Executive Education is delighted to announce its partnership on a two-year leadership programme with the United Nations Children's Fund.
UNICEF's mission is to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
Designed for UNICEF's senior leaders, the Senior Leadership Development Programme will be delivered in study blocks for around 150 of UNICEF's leadership team over a two-year period.
In a time of unprecedented internal and external change, including the introduction of new organisation-wide systems and processes, UNICEF determined the need for a competency-building, strategic and developmental leadership programme. The UNICEF leaders involved will benefit from a deeper understanding of team work and the drive for results, support in gaining a long-term strategic view, as well as having the opportunity to be challenged by a network of world-class faculty, sector experts and each other.
The duration of each group is seven months and the content is split into three study blocks covering key leadership areas and delivered globally at locations including UNICEF's headquarters in New York and at Cambridge Judge Business School, UK. The programme utilises a blended learning approach of plenary faculty-led discussions, group coaching, individual mentoring, project work and online interaction and learning through a Virtual Learning Environment.
The UNICEF Senior Leadership Development Programme is directed by Professor Dame Sandra Dawson, a recognised authority on leadership theory and practice, along with a number of senior Cambridge Judge Business School faculty.The UNICEF Senior Leadership Development Programme started in June 2011 and has just finished its second study block in Cambridge. The session ended with a leadership-themed speech from former BBC journalist and politician Martin Bell, UNICEF's UK Ambassador for Humanitarian Emergencies.
