2. Conceive, plan, cost, resource, and manage projects across a range of settings;

3. Participate in business planning and decision making at all levels from strategic to operational, while taking due cognisance of the legal, social, political and economic environments;

4. Demonstrate effective communication skills in situations / circumstances pertaining to executive management;

5. Display higher-level competence in analysis and research, through the completion of an in-depth dissertation and other assessment-type exercises associated with the programme;

6. Demonstrate personal qualities of empathy, leadership and teamworking;

7. Manage their own learning and development, and evaluate their own experience through a reflective approach towards the impact of the programme on their lives;

8. Be catalysts of change within their employing organisations, as a result of the adoption of creative and innovative approaches to opportunities and threats.
