Industry Tactical Planning & Execution
“I enjoyed participating in the Industry Tactical Planning & Execution (ITPE) course at McMaster. ITPE course has an excellent combination of theoretical & practical information to prepare tactical level managers for the Industry 4.0 operations environment. Pannel discussions with renowned industry experts were engaging and enabled an active learning experience”.

" 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-baed 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."

"In the Industry Tactical Planning and Execution course, participants gain a sharp understanding of the new kind of operational leader who is capable of taking the necessary actions to scale the tactical level execution in order to respond to disruptions and the rapidly evolving needs of the market and industry. Each lecture is highly intent-based and enables participants to engage directly with the industry leaders through many relevant and insightful open discussions. Participants are encouraged and guided to revisit and redefine the contingency plans within their own operational team to reach their full potential in tactical planning and execution. I would like to share my appreciation to Ashan and his entire team for the excellent, well thought content. I look forward to participating in the next modules."

"The MacMaster ITPE course has led me to reassess how I mentor and develop my employees, and how I evaluate their capacity, strengths, and experience. I will be incorporating principles of performance management from the ITPE, and how to provide feedback into performance evaluations on an ongoing and informal basis."
