University of Queensland (UQ) Business School will work with the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) to deliver an education program for emerging business leaders.
UQ Business School is the Queensland university partner for the Copland Program – which has been operating in Melbourne and Sydney for several years – and is the only partner in Australia to offer a program that earns credit towards a postgraduate degree qualification.
Tim Brailsford, of the UQ Business School, says the aim of the program is to prepare emerging leaders to make good decisions.
“The Copland Program has an important role to play in helping talented people prepare effectively for senior management opportunities,” Brailsford says.
“As well as addressing some of the key issues facing senior managers today, the program also delivers academic credit towards a postgraduate qualification,” he says.
The Copland Program addresses senior management topics including: building partnerships with government and industry; corporate sustainability; innovation leadership; managing risks and quality; leading in a global economy; business ethics; and working with government and key stakeholders.
