The Senior Manager Course (SMC) - provides mid-level managers (new department and senior managers) with an intensive focus on the senior leadership competencies that comprise the significant skills needed to effectively perform at the senior level. It is a highly experiential program that explores the impact of individual behavior on team success and demonstrates the critical role effective leadership skills play in implementing strategic plans.

Leading Strategic Corporate Change and Transition- This is a highly interactive, experientially based course. Case studies are used throughout the course which participants must dissect and apply to their operational experiences. A simulation is also included and threads through the entire course. Participants are teamed up to experience the simulation in sub-groups and then debrief their learning across the teams in the class. Tools and templates are provided to participants for their use back on the job. Participants have opportunities to practice using the tools in their real-life simulated transitions that they will be required to implement and manage during the course. Course instruction is provided by an external non-IRS vendor.
