Managing People and Organisations

Many leaders rely primarily on experience and intuition. While valuable, this is often not sufficient in today’s complex and rapidly changing environment. The central strength of this master’s-level course lies in its ability to connect practical leadership experience with research-based frameworks from organisational behaviour, motivation theory, power dynamics, communication, and decision science. This creates a deeper and more structured understanding of what truly drives behaviour and performance inside organisations.

Throughout the course, you learn to see the organisation as an interconnected system — where culture, structure, power relations, internal communication, conflict, stress, and psychological capital all influence outcomes. You do not simply gain knowledge; you develop the capability to make deliberate leadership decisions that support strategy, people development, and long-term organisational sustainability.

An additional layer of value comes from the learning environment itself. Your peers are experienced master’s-level professionals with substantial work and leadership backgrounds across industries. Discussions are grounded in real managerial practice, enriching perspectives and significantly deepening the learning experience.

The master’s-level course is designed for middle managers and experienced professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of organisational behaviour and the conscious management of people.

The programme is suitable for individuals who already possess practical work and leadership experience and seek to connect it with research-based theories and analytical frameworks. Participants are professionals from various fields who are responsible for leading teams, managing processes, or developing organisations, and who aim to make more systematic and impactful leadership decisions.

The expected course period is from the end of August until December 2026. The lecture schedule is currently being finalised and will be confirmed in May 2026.

The course consists of sessions held every other week on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:15.

Each day includes a 45-minute break as well as short breaks throughout the day.
