Course Overview
Teams read what their leaders tolerate on internal control over operations far more accurately than what their leaders announce. Most failures in over operations trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. The version of the wider organisational leadership agenda described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants who influence internal control over operations without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The programme converts the practice within organisational leadership from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on over operations and revise it on evidence. Where internal control over operations is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from over operations, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of organisational leadership that participants can repeat annually.
