4 HOW LEARNING FRAMEWORK This ten-week digital program begins with a deep dive into the fundamental building blocks of successful execution. As the learning journey progresses, you will be asked to work through twelve key questions related to your specific strategic initiative, and apply the lessons learned to your own context. You will be challenged to test your assumptions and open yourself to new ways of thinking and acting with respect to your strategic initiative. Individual assignments, virtual group work, case studies, readings, video summaries, personalized feedback from your program coach, peer reviews with other strategic initiative leaders from across the globe, and personal reflection moments are all combined to stimulate your thinking, unlock new insights, change habits, and firmly embed the learning in your on-going strategic initiative. You will leave the program with a clear roadmap and 60 day execution plan for the journey ahead.
