In this course, we examine the role of the Human Resource Manager in contributing constructively to the formation of organizational responses to an organization context, which is undergoing continuous and multifaceted change. 

We start with a brief overview of the rising levels of political uncertainty, megatrends such as demographics, digital technology, global competition, and shifting business model design. This leads to a conversation about developing a response to unpredictable employee demands, increased complexity, and an overload of information and stretched resources. 

Then,we explore the capabilities required of the HR manager to become agile in both thought and practice.  This course provides a framework for HR Managers to develop their agility and resilience whilst learning from setbacks and enhancing their capacity to act.

Pretty useful information. What I love about this course is that Professor Foster is going deep into the mindset of a leader. That is, what is the quality of a useful leader. And the bad quality too for a leader.
