AGSM @ ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø Business School was established more than 45 years ago to elevate the quality of leadership in Australia. While our mission remains the same, the world in which live is rapidly accelerating and is increasingly complex.Â
Enhancing people's capability has never been more important and is our primary purpose. The organisations we serve- businesses, government, for-purpose organisations and the community- need people who can help them make a positive impact in an accelerating world.Â
Contextualised learning pathways for your teams
At AGSM we want to be known for producing leaders who through their actions contribute to making the world a better place, 'by doing well and going good'.
At AGSM, we partner with businesses, government and for-purpose organisations to co-design learning solutions that meet their needs and address business challenges. By enhancing these capabilities across all industries and sectors, AGSM can help to make a positive impact in Australia and the world.
Applying our experience and expertise in designing, developing, and delivering learning solutions, we are able to co-design innovative solutions that are contemporary and impactful.Â
Our learning approach
AGSM’s learning methodology has been built over many years and is based on the success we have had in behavioural change and capability building. We create memorable and impactful learning experiences by:Â
Our programs utilise the following elements:
Blended learning - allows for maximum use of learners’ time and means that classroom sessions can focus on experiential learning and embedding skills, not covering foundations or concepts
Reflective practice - embedded in the learning design is a reflective practice which will allow leaders to focus on reflection for learning. In its simplest form, it is linked to the concept of learning from experience, in that you think about what you did, and what happened and decide from that what you would do differently next time.
Experiential learning - facilitated practice enables leaders to build applications to a greater variety of challenges and increase cognitive functioning in complex scenarios so that thinking can be stretched, and capability deepened. Intertwined with reflective practice, AGSM achieves learning through reflection on doing various embedding activities in a classroom or a virtual workshop.Â
Modular design - each topic in the program is designed as a module by our subject matter experts at AGSM to incorporate leading research and practice. This provides rigorous academic thought leadership contextualised to your organisation and your learners.Â
Social component - the combination of both critical thinking and reflection fosters higher-order thinking skills and problem-solving in a social learning environment. This sees the embedding of critical thinking, reflection and learning as a shared and new way of working.Â
Measurable outcomes – AGSM’s methodology includes a combination of action learning, evaluation and impact assessment and learning success evaluation, which provide insight into participant learning experiences and ensures successful learning transfer and measurable business outcomes.
