This course introduces students to a disciplined approach to thinking about challenges and devising the best course of action to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Participants will also gain a better insight into their own strategic thinking skills.
In today’s dynamic and highly complex global economy, it is critically important for leaders in government, business and the not-for-profit sectors to be strategic thinkers. Whether the objective is to introduce a new product line or develop a new policy direction, decision makers or managers supporting the decision-making process must be able to systematically identify the goals, emerging opportunities, and possible obstacles.
This course introduces students to a disciplined approach to thinking about challenges and devising the best course of action to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Participants will also gain a better insight into their own strategic thinking skills – are they up to par or could they use some enhancement?
The University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (The Institute), originally branded the Centre for Continuing Education, was established over 25 years ago to offer higher learning opportunities to private and public-sector professionals and the community at large in Ottawa.
Over the years, we developed and nurtured expertise, growing significantly in both course offerings and new specialty knowledge areas, outgrowing its original mandate.
In late 2018, our organization was rebranded as the Professional Development Institute. The previous designation no longer encapsulated the breadth and depth of current and future offerings nor did it reflect our expanded mandate and reach.
Our Mission:
The Institute has been recognized as mission critical to the University of Ottawa and at the forefront of professional development in Ottawa and beyond.
We have greatly diversified our programming, developed strategic partnerships with both government and private industry, offered event-based learning and conferences, established co-designed programs with key government sectors, and more.
The highly sought-after “Institute” designation is rarely granted by the University administration, and done so only after very careful consideration.
A rigorous approval process, involving the President, the Provost and the Vice-Presidents, must validate the rationale and justification for the use of the ‘Institute’ label.
The fact that we have been granted this distinguished designation is testimony to our organization, its accomplishments and its potential, and to the dedication and engagement of our staff and expert instructors.
This hands-on, collaborative program gives you the opportunity to interact with other professionals from a range of backgrounds, including managers, entrepreneurs, business consultants, public-sector professionals and non-profit leaders.
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there. Successful businesses need a clear and concise plan of what success looks like and a plan to get them to their desired destination.
