Managing in Context: A 20/20 MDS® Workshop Kit
The key purpose of management, as defined by the Management Charter Initiative (MCI), is: ‘To achieve the organization’s objectives and continuously improve its performance.’
If you accept this definition, there is no escaping your responsibilities to know what these objectives are and how the organization sees your role in helping to meet them - even if this does involve persistence, effort or even a role in helping to define them! The module entitled ‘Corporate Strategy’ will be extremely useful if you are to be involved in such work.
This module lays a foundation of management theory and principles to help you take a wider view of the knowledge and skills you are developing to manage operations as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Objectives
At the end of this module you will be able to:
- describe the relationship between the manager’s role and the organizational context
- identify a range of organization structures to suit different purposes and assess the appropriateness of your own structure
- compare different theories of management and relate their significance to your day to day work
- identify the impact and effects of the relationship between the organization, the individual manager and the operations within your own span of control
- compare your own management style to that of other managers.
Underpinning Competencies:
- Contextual thinking
- Change orchestration
- Making decisions and weighing risks
- Appraising people and performance
- Driving persistence
The kit includes a scripted Powerpoint Presentation and a sample copy of the accompanying Participant Workbook, along with reprint permission for up to 10 copies of the Participant Workbook to enable you to present your first workshop.
