Welcome to this exciting, insightful and invigorating four week course, exploring the vast pool of management. Management is a very important area to grasp, whether it is on a macro scale like managing a corporation/structure or a micro scale of managing oneself. Therefore, I have designed a curriculum which addresses four main areas- Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling. The class will be taught by focusing on a theory based approach, interactive case studies, discussions, analysis and fun group activities. Please see curriculum overview- Week 1- • Overview of management and core functions(Planning, Organising, leading & Controlling). • Scope of the course. • Key terms and definitions i.e. stakeholders, methodologies, resources, vision and mission statements e.t.c. • Evaluation of the Planning function. • Generating action plans. Week 2- • Evaluation of the Organising Function. • Resource allocation and management. • Overview of organisational structures and organisational cultures. • Case study and analysis of organisational structures. Week 3- • Evaluation of the Leading Function. • Leadership Styles. • Effective communication strategies. • Case study and analysis of effective leaders and their core competencies. Week 4- • Evaluation of the Control function. • Continuous process management. • Status analysis and foresight strategy formulation. • Motivational strategies for continuous flow • Situational case study. This will be a very fun and fluid class. Students will have the opportunity to engage with their peers and myself. I welcome students of all ranges of experience and trust that they will enjoy the structure of the lessons.
Learning Goals
This course will equip students with the knowledge and foresight of how to be great managers in their lives. They will gain an appreciation for the importance of planning, organising, leading and controlling for successful operation for anything they engage in. By the knowledge they will attain, they will become more confident in resource management, communication, forming action plans and become powerful leaders.

I am extremely pleased to have qualified with a high honour degree in Business. During the program I was able to successfully complete relevant modules, such as, 'Presentation Techniques' , 'Management Foundations', 'Strategic Management' and 'Field experience in Business'. These modules gave me comprehensive oversight in leadership, presentation etiquette and powerful public speaking experience. I have also received a certificate for my performance in 'The Project' competition, hosted by the West Michigan Chapter of Project Management Institute for representing my university(Davenport University). The competition allowed my to present in front of a panellist of professional judges and opposition universities within Michigan.After university I had a fantastic opportunity of working as an agency supervisor in an Amazon fulfilment centre in Swansea,UK for four months. This opportunity gave me vast experience of resource planning, delivering strategic direction, productivity monitoring and feedback for over 100 amazon associates per shift. Thereafter, I had a fabulous opportunity of joining a two-year paid graduate scheme for one of the biggest logistics companies in the UK- Wincanton between 2017-2019. The experience with Wincanton has been my most remarkable to date. I had the opportunity to travel all around the country to receive company sponsored management training, practical supervisory experience, workshop set up and delivery e.t.c. I was also assigned as a company mentor for several new graduates to help induct them in. This involved situational analysis, target setting and documented progress overviews. The program yielded certification by the Institute for Apprenticeships(ILM) with a distinction grade for 'Supervisor Level 3' after successfully completing practical and theory examinations with Wincanton. The end point assessment involved a 'knowledge test', 'professional discussion', 'Competency based interview' and 'project showcase'. I have done a variety of speeches around the world, interacted with various institutional leaders, presented to senior directors in multinational companies and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. I am very appreciative and empathetic when it comes to interacting with different levels of students and adopt a bespoke communication style for the different personalities, in order to enhance their learning experience.
