  • Formål

    Resilient Leadership in the emerging of a new reality; a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

    The first part of the course deals with the sociological level of VUCA. The VUCA world, described as a rapidly changing, highly turbulent, and unpredictable business environment, presents entirely new challenges. On closer inspection of the VUCA world and its characteristics, the changing conditions of the macro-environment are based on an increase in complexity. The students will learn to reflect on these emerging challenges of constant, relentless, and volatile change. Learn strategies for navigating these challenging environments, through the development of adaptive and agile organizations and emotionally agile leaders, teams and individuals.

    The second part of the course will continue with the effects VUCA has on the organizational level. The student will be introduced to research on how to create world-class, high-performing IT teams enabling amazing business outcomes. The student will learn about the basic foundational principles of DevOps grounded in agile and lean philosophies with a particular focus on the culture and the DevOps mindset and learn to reflect on how to replicate DevOps into their own Organisation.
    I this part we will also take a look at the new ISO 22316 Organizational Resilience standard.

    The third part of the course will move to the individual level of VUCA. This part of the course will help students’ navigate with their emotions and build their emotional agility through a process called the Resilience Cycle and other tools. The process starts with releasing resistance, so we can stay present to what's happening by increasing rapport with ourselves. As a result, we can create new meaning, expand our identity, and ultimately have more choices. Then, with new choices open to us, we can anchor the outcome we want, enroll and engage our teams in pursuing that outcome, and keep everyone agile and powerful as new changes arise. As resilient emotion-focused leaders, it's our job to add more options to the menu of possible behaviors - both for others and for ourselves.

  • Undervisningsform og udfoldelse af læringsmål
    The course will be taught in a mix of lectures,video recorded teaching and group exercise classes. Throughout the course, the students are expected to participate actively in discussions of theories and cases. The exercises are to give the students a hands-on experience based on case studies. The elective will be based on different research-based literature and a cross functional business simulation.

    Feedback during the teaching period
    During the lectures, students will get an opportunity to engage with - and critically assess - theories. The lecturer will provide feedback quistions on the inputs from the students. In the exercise classes, students will work in groups with cases and present these cases to the rest of the class. Here too immediate feedback is given by the class and by the lecturer. The last exercise class is a feedback session organized as a student conference, where the groups are encouraged to present their preliminary work on their exam synopses to the class. Each group will be assigned as opponent group to one of the other groups. The lecturer will provide feedback on the models developed by the individual groups. After the exam, the groups will get feedback on their synopses and oral exam.
