What you’ll learn on our ILM level 7 leadership and management courses
These ILM-accredited leadership and management qualifications are designed to take your role as a leader to stratospheric new levels, strengthening key skills that set apart senior executives from lower-level managers.
Modules include:
Strategic leadership and decision-making
Managers in the highest levels of business must have the ability to make strategic decisions based on business needs and data. This course will use neuroscientific insights to help you understand what goes into strategic decision-making and help you steer the course of your business confidently.
Leading organisational change
A culture of innovation is important to continual change and progression. With this course, you’ll understand how to create high performance cultures, use brain science to get employees on board with change initiatives and drive continual innovation.
Advanced people and performance management
To manage people effectively, you need to understand both their wants and needs in the workplace. We’ll help you understand how the brain needs consistency, clarity and rewards and how this relates to people management – but also how you can use novelty and reflection to get the most out of your teams.
Coaching and mentoring
Coaching and mentoring are key tenets of strong leadership. Their principles underpin everything we deliver in our leadership and management courses. We’ll cover how coaching and mentoring takes your management to the next level and creates a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture.
Influencing and negotiation
Senior managers and executives must have the skills to influence and negotiate with others at all levels of business. The key to success here is to once again understand how the brain works; by recognising how to tap into people’s instincts and emotions. You’ll learn how to create feelings of psychological safety in order to influence effectively without manipulating.
Project management and strategic planning
As a senior leader, you’ll be required to lead on a range of projects, from business-wide initiatives to departmental change. Through these courses, you’ll develop the skills to produce business cases, plan out strategic projects, see them to completion and critically evaluate their success.
How we deliver our ILM level 7 qualifications
Our ILM level 7 qualifications are delivered fully online through a mix of learning resources, one-to-one sessions with your tutor and live discussions with your cohort. We also use our unique neuroscience-informed method of delivery to ensure you get the most out of your time with us.
The PEEC method
As experts in the human brain, we know how best to deliver learning that resonates, sticks and can be put into practice.
Our partner, Neurocapability, has used its our neuroscience expertise to develop a unique learning delivery system that works with your brain. This is the PEEC method: prime, encode, embed and consolidate.
Prime
Our brain needs the right environment to learn effectively; we can guide you on preparing your brain for learning, from your physical environment to your nutrition.
Embed
The brain loves repetition, so you’ll have access to your course materials upon completion, plus you’ll have the chance to share your experience with others, which helps you dig deeper into your learning.
Encode
To focus your attention and ensure your learning is meaningful, we’ll ask reflective questions throughout, allowing you to relate your learning to your experience.
Consolidate
The final step ensures what you learn becomes hard-wired in your brain, which we do through our membership to The Tribe, our community resource where you can share your continued learning with fellow leaders.
Online learning platform
Our dedicated online learning platform contains all of the learning materials you need for success on your course, including:
- Video tutorials and sessions
- Downloadable reading resources to enhance your learning
- Questions and suggestions to encourage you to interrogate your materials
- Tutorials on your assignments and using your learning systems.
