WICT Business Management Symposium
Exclusively for BMLI Alumnae

Developed in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), the Business Management Symposium is one and a half days of focused instruction and discussion on key management challenges and opportunities for today’s senior leaders.

The dynamic and complex nature of today’s business environment demands new kinds of agility, integration, collaboration, and action oriented approaches.   Rapidly changing priorities, combined with fewer resources, can cause unintended paralysis even among the most committed leaders and teams.  During this symposium, you will experience high level learning and leave with the ability to:

• Use practical tools and strategies to increase your effectiveness as a leader with your teams and customers;
• Identify barriers to your own success and shift perspectives to increase your effectiveness;
• Lead with more purpose, energy, meaning, direction and optimism to achieve better results; 
• Develop solutions and strategies for solving your own leadership challenges; and,
• Create a plan that leverages your value as a leader in your organization.

The days of “business as usual” are past.  This symposium, which has been designed specifically to address post-BMLI level executives, offers unique training to help senior leaders strategically shift their management approaches to achieve higher performance teams, increase financial performance and to motivate and retain top talent.  Participants will gain insights that will allow them to reassess how they lead and obtain tools for greater effectiveness.

Using a combination of large and small group instruction, you will have access to subject matter experts who will guide you through new research related to critical management skills. 

Augmented by peer-to-peer discussions, participants will work on mapping out how you can leverage what you learn during the symposium to increase your own leadership performance and create an environment that promotes innovative and competitive teams.  You will return with new insights and management tools ready to activate.
