Digital Marketing Workshop

There are lots of channels or touchpoints through which you interact with your customers. Today more than ever, digital channels are becoming an increasingly important part of how you interact with customers and deliver value. In this course aimed at those with a beginner/intermediate digital marketing skillset, you will learn about some key tools and techniques that can help you reach your customers online.

Practical Leadership for an Innovative Workplace

In a new era of leadership with increasingly competitive agendas - where do you expend your time and resources to support the creation of an innovative workplace and environment? Retaining top talent and building resilience are two top challenges organisations face today. When employees leave, they take invaluable perspectives and organisational knowledge with them, leaving the organisation with the likely high cost of recruitment. New-era business challenges call for building resilience in leaders and their employees.
