Feeling like your impact stops at your immediate team or region
The situation this course is for
Even strong recommendations fail to stick when they rely on hierarchy or one-off persuasion. The gap isn’t insight, it’s reach. Without deliberate practice, influence stays local, even when the work is scalable.
Who this is for
Senior operations leader in a global services firm, trusted to deliver complex outcomes but seeking broader impact across units, regions, or functional silos
Who this is not for
Individuals looking for entry-level operations training or role-specific compliance certification
What you walk away with
- Design decision-ready artefacts that get adopted by teams outside your direct control
- Position findings so they’re referenced and reused across regions
- Shape cross-unit conversations without needing to lead them
- Build a reputation as the go-to source for operational clarity
- Extend influence to adjacent functions like procurement, risk, and regional delivery
