SBS Endorsed – Transformational Change and Strategic Leadership

Program Overview

Transformational change alters an organisation's strategy, structure, culture and identity, and it demands strategic leadership that can hold a long-term vision while managing near-term disruption. This programme combines transformational leadership theory, including the idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualised consideration dimensions, with practical change architecture: diagnosing readiness, designing the transformation portfolio, sequencing structural and cultural shifts, and sustaining momentum. Cases draw on large-scale transformations in Gulf entities, including mergers of government bodies, privatisation and digital operating model shifts.
