Industry Operations Leadership Fundamentals
The MacMaster IOLF had a great selection of very knowledgeable presenters from a variety of fields who were able to discuss the impacts of key theories in practice based on their experience. I was particularly impressed with the consideration McMaster had in bringing in a speaker to address mental health within the context of managing. It is a topic often cited as important, but rarely are managers provided tools to deal address it.

Industry Tactical Planning & Execution
I found the Industry Tactical Planning and Execution course innovative, interesting and exciting. Ashan and the team undertook the difficult challenge of redefining and articulating the age-old philosophical problem of good leadership practices, and brought them into the 21st century.
I feel they hit the nail on the head. Infusing tried and tested intent-based bottom-up execution techniques into the rapidly evolving business world, the course delivered tools, techniques and resources to enable anyone, to better themself in the tradecraft of management and leadership. Personally, I’ve since delved into the Intent Based Execution principles, utilizing the attributes of high performance teams to reduce the decision action cycle. These adjustments have made my team more effective and efficient, driving bottom up innovation while remaining on task, on schedule and on budget.

IOLF Course is a professional certificiate course from McMaster University, it is my pleasure to attend it to help me to develop personal leadership skills and gain valuable insight from industry leaders. It provides incredible opportunities to connect leaders across industry, share insights, drive operational solutions, and strengthen leadership and execution skills.
During the course, I enjoyed its mentorship program, which each participant conduct a 360 self-assessment, derive key observations and deductions culminating with a tailored leadership development plan to drive a performance improvement; this really helped me to reevaluate my leadership and management skills in current work environment, develop a plan to be a tactical industry leader. I highly recommend this course.
