Delegation is more than simply passing on tasks. In design practice, it is a leadership skill that shapes team performance, accountability and professional growth.
Who this course is for
This course is designed for delegates from the same organisation.
It is for people with leadership responsibilities, whether across the practice or within projects. It can be tailored to suit senior teams or those who are newly promoted or preparing to take on greater responsibility within teams.
We recommend that the number of delegates is limited to between eight and 12. This is so that we can engage with everyone and pick up questions.
