How you will learn
The sprint has four self-paced modules and three online live sessions designed to fit any busy schedule. You will learn from leading thinkers and industry experts at the University of Sydney.
Each module will include around 30-40 minutes of essential video content, and then extra content (such as readings, podcasts, additional videos) if you wish to extend yourself. Workbook activities are comprised of reflective questions that will help you consolidate your learning from the videos and apply this learning to organisations you are familiar with. They should require no more than an hour’s thinking. Workbooks are not assessed; they’re designed to give you chunky questions to think about.
The live sessions will last around 90 minutes, and if you stay, you can enjoy additional networking and question time.
Additional activities like reading, conversations and bonus content will allow you to dive deeper into the topic. You’ll have access to the modules after the sprint is complete, so you can always return to the extension activities later.
