Caroline Lucas, TEXEM Director of Special Projects, disclosed this is in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.
She said that the programme with the theme ‘’Resilience in a Volatile World: Inspiring Transformation Successfully, was designed to help leaders embed agility into their organisational DNA.
Schedule for Feb. 8 to Feb. 22, Lucas said the programme would enable organisations to navigate uncertainty and drive sustainable growth for the advancement of the workplace and workforce.
She said that the three-week programme combines self-paced virtual learning with live interactive sessions to provide a holistic leadership development experience.
‘’Agility begins with adaptability, and the programme’s structure reflects this principle. Participants engage with self-paced learning activities on the TEXEM platform, earning points for tasks such as reading case studies, reflecting on practical scenarios, and engaging in discussions.
‘’This gamified approach encourages consistent engagement and fosters a collaborative learning environment. The weekly live sessions, facilitated by globally renowned faculty, build on this foundation by exploring themes of innovation, influence, and strategic decision-making.’’
Lucas said that Amb. Charles Crawford’s sessions would focus on the art of communication and negotiation, essential skills for leaders seeking to foster alignment and build trust in volatile environments.
She said that his frameworks would enable participants to navigate complex stakeholder dynamics with clarity and confidence, ensuring their organisations remain cohesive and focused even amidst uncertainty.
‘’Bradley Jones brings a strategic perspective to the programme, introducing tools for scenario planning and risk management. His sessions emphasise the importance of proactive decision-making, equipping participants with the skills to anticipate challenges and respond effectively. For example, leaders might explore how to leverage market opportunities during periods of economic volatility, ensuring both stability and growth.
‘’Dr. TB McClelland Jr. rounds out the faculty by addressing the cultural dimensions of agility. His sessions highlight the importance of fostering a culture of experimentation and adaptability, enabling leaders to redesign business models and optimise resource allocation. Participants are encouraged to embrace innovative approaches to problem-solving, ensuring their organisations remain competitive in dynamic markets.’’
Lucas stressed that TEXEM programme’s emphasis on practical application ensures that participants leave with actionable tools to enhance their leadership practices.
She added that scenario-based exercises would provide a safe space for leaders to test new strategies and refine their approaches.
‘’For instance, participants might simulate a response to a sudden regulatory change, using the frameworks introduced during the programme to develop an adaptive strategy.
‘’Stakeholder engagement is another critical theme of the programme. Leaders gain tools to inspire trust and foster collaboration across their organisations, ensuring that innovative strategies are supported at all levels.
‘’Ambassador Crawford’s insights into stakeholder influence provide a valuable foundation for building coalitions and aligning interests, even in the face of conflicting priorities.
She added that by the end of the programme, participants would be equipped with the tools to transform organisational agility into a competitive advantage.
She said they would leave with a clear understanding of how to lead effectively in uncertain environments, ensuring their organisations thrive in the face of complexity.
The TEXEM programme is not just a leadership development initiative- it is a catalyst for transformation. By focusing on agility, innovation, and influence, it prepares leaders to turn volatility into opportunity and achieve sustainable success.(NAN)
