ACU Executive Education was created with the mission of empowering Australia’s leaders and managers, through disciplined and academically rigorous education, to better serve their respective organisations and the broader community.
Over the years we’ve seen enormous change and significant turbulence. The digital revolution, for example, has impacted almost every aspect of business. And we are witnessing disruption and unpredictability with considerable business and operating challenges brought on by the pandemic.
These changes are rewriting how we conduct business because in many areas we simply cannot continue as we have. It’s time – we must prepare, realign, and redefine existing management thinking and practice.
Just as we have from our inception, our passion is helping to create a new calibre of genuine leaders and assisting their teams, and organisations, to progress and thrive.
We are the leadership and professional development centre of ACU, combining talent from across our four faculties and partner universities to provide an unparalleled learning experience.
Our courses in business, finance, governance, and leadership deliver knowledge and skills critical for running modern, for-purpose-driven organisations. Importantly for us here in Executive Education, and ACU, these courses have never been solely about increasing individual or organisational profit for profit’s sake alone. We’re striving to realise a better way for you, one that supports long-term viability and the common good.
We do this by being at the forefront of new forms of professional development and customised solutions. We work with organisations from a wide range of sectors including health, education, sport, government and corporate to create bespoke leadership development programs that make a difference. Whether we’re developing an offshore award course to develop capability, taking a team of executives to Europe to focus on improved governance practices, or creating a bespoke leadership program for cohorts across Australia, you, our client, are at the centre of our focus and your sustainable success is paramount in our design.
Investing in yourself, your people, and their professional development is essential as we progress through a complex, rapidly changing future. Our purpose has remained steadfast and I invite you to partner with us as we redefine leadership and business.
