Overview
This online micro-credential will outline the business growth cycle, also called the Sigmoid Curve or the S-curve. The stages along the S-curve are development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. You will learn about the characteristics of the organisations in each of these stages and explore what leadership means for each stage. In addition, Verne Harnish’s Scaling Up (2014) and Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline (1990) will be explored and you will learn how these can apply to businesses along the S-curve. Case studies from great business leaders will be provided to consolidate these concepts.
This online micro-credential provides a non-creditable micro-credential and digital badge which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.
