Professional Practice Route
The Reflective Case Study will require the participant to evidence change in their organisational context – due to their leadership – in three areas of EDI practice against two EDI/Leadership Capabilities. Participants will be assigned a Mentor who will support their thinking and progress during this module, once their area/s of focus have been agreed/ approved by their organisation.
Academic Practice Route
The Action Research/ Case Study will require the learner to both lead and evidence change in their organisational context in one or two areas of EDI*. A written report will outline the process of change and any related change impact/s.
*Projects involving human participants will require ethical approval from the IESE’s Scientific Review Committee. In rare cases, retroactive ethical approval is possible.
