Managing Complex Business Challenges

During this four-day business course, you will collaborate with curious and open-minded business leaders to deconstruct conventional management approaches and address challenges from a new perspective. A data-led approach will guide you in asking the right questions to reach successful conclusions. Professor Paolo Quattrone connects theory with practice and incorporates elements of the Maieutic Machine into his teaching—a set of principles that helps managers enhance the quality and maturity of decision-making practices in the face of uncertainty. Delivered face-to-face in the UK at Alliance Manchester Business School’s Executive Education Centre, Managing Complex Business Challenges utilises cutting-edge research applied widely in the public and private sectors. You will discover how to implement customisable frameworks, techniques, and strategies into your organisation that focus on embracing complexities and uncertainty in business. On the final day, there will be an opportunity for self-assessment of the effectiveness of governance, communication, mediation, and engagement practices in your own work. You will also build your own Maieutic Machine to assess the quality and maturity of your decision-making. Upon successful completion of this short business course, participants will be awarded the Manchester Professional Certificate in Managing Complex Business Challenges and can work towards obtaining the Manchester Professional Diploma in Leadership by completing any four of our four-day short business courses from our extensive portfolio.
