Graduate Certificate in Water Leadership
We know there is a high and growing need for leadership knowledge, capabilities and skills in the water sector. We also know that projects and programs in the water sector, which increasingly need to deliver more integrated and sustainable outcomes, often critically hinge on good leadership. And finally, we know that water leaders need to be able to operate in VUCA contexts, which are characterised by high levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Water leaders are often tasked with managing complex problems that cross organisational boundaries, over long timeframes, with multiple stakeholder. These challenges require particular forms of leadership.
The Graduate Certificate in Water Leadership is the world’s first professional, postgraduate qualification in leadership for the water sector. The degree builds on and uses the development process of the award-winning Water Leadership Program, to deliver an additional level of academic rigour and learning. It is a part-time, one-year program delivered in partnership between the IWC and Griffith University.
As a student, you will engage in a 3600 feedback survey, attend two intensive teaching and learning periods in Brisbane, learn from a series of online classes and resources, develop an individualised leadership development plan and be personally coached as you implement that plan. You will also undertake a challenging leadership development project. During the program you will engage in and learn from a series of assessments designed to ensure can critically understand and apply knowledge from the research literature to plan, implement and critically reflect on your leadership actions.
