is designed for individuals who want to progress to senior management roles or start their own?

This qualification targets professionals seeking strategic direction rather than just operational oversight. It is explicitly designed for those aiming for senior management roles, such as Director or Head of Department, where governance and organisational capability are paramount. While it supports entrepreneurs by teaching stakeholder mapping and risk appetite, its primary focus is on navigating complex corporate structures. The curriculum prepares you to influence board-level decisions, not merely execute them. It is less about starting a business from scratch and more about leading established entities through transformation. Therefore, it suits career-changers entering leadership and managers ready to step into executive positions, providing the master’s-level academic rigour required for these high-stakes roles.
