A comprehensive program that addresses the unique leadership challenges of Science, Technology, and Engineering organizations, through the development of fresh skills and ways of thinking that are essential for innovation, collaboration, and talent development.
Overview
SciEnTech Edge (SETE) is for current and emerging leaders with key roles in research and product development. It blends five learning approaches:
- One-on-one coaching
- Individualized skills assessment
- Intensive workshops (Labs)
- Peer learning teams
- Targeted on-the-job application of new skills
Their mission as leaders — ensuring the best science, engineering, technology, and innovation possible for the organization — requires fresh skills and ways of thinking that are not typical in their traditional professional educations. When these mindsets and skills are put to use, leaders inspire a culture and climate that encourages innovation.
Many come to their first job believing that success will hinge solely on the quality of their technical contribution, and can be unprepared for the dynamics of organizational life. The resulting frustration will often produce unwelcome consequences: diminished impact, performance issues, and talent drain.
Organizations need these highly skilled individuals to exert a positive influence, within their own teams and across functions. Success in a challenging marketplace depends on scientific, engineering and technical discipline, the encouragement of innovation, and a collaborative culture.
