Milward

The Milward Academy, a division of Milward International, offers Online Personal Development For Executives.

Our inaugural course, "Changing Behaviour in Organisations", for HR, C-level & other senior executives, is now available for enrolment. Milward International is a strategic leadership consulting and research practice founded in 1992 by Dr Andy Milward. Our focus is to assist senior leaders and their executive teams to achieve their strategic objectives. Strategic leadership entails anticipating th

reats and opportunities in the internal and external environment and then responding quickly and appropriately. We work with leaders and their executive teams with the following:

- fostering harmony and cooperation within and between leadership teams

- developing the skills of individual leaders

- analysing complex organisational issues to provide a basis for effective decisions

- support the decision process

- planning and executing the necessary change in response to internal and external threats and opportunities

- supporting stakeholders through the change process

To adapt swiftly and competitively, leaders must disrupt the status quo, finding novel solutions to strategic problems. This means developing the critical perspective to challenge outmoded models and conventional ways of thinking. We work with individual leaders and leadership teams to help instil these critical thinking disciplines. Complemented by our network of specialist partners, we deliver our services globally. We deliver our work through three interrelated practice areas – Senior Leaders, Executive Teams and Strategic Change. Each area focuses on a specific aspect of the leadership challenge. SENIOR LEADERS

Strategic Analysis

Most strategic problems are a dynamic interplay of tangible resource sufficiency and intangible human factors such as motivation, morale, reputation and skills. We help you to address these problems through analysis supported by survey research and statistical modelling techniques. We encourage divergent thinking and the development of creative solutions. Decision-making

The decision process is fraught with risk. Although a particular decision may seem intuitively right, psychological bias or insufficient data can render the decision ineffective and cause serious damage to the organisation. In high-reliability organisations (engineering, aerospace, medical care, emergency services etc.), there are numerous instances where a flawed decision process has led to injury or loss of life. At the very least, decisions that entail irrational risk can result in commercial disaster, as recent events in the financial sector have shown. We work with you to ensure your decision-making process is sound and minimises risk. We encourage you to challenge the norms and assumptions that underlie your decisions. We ensure that you recognise the signs and signals of danger so you can act in a timely and appropriate way. Managing self and others

We help you to develop your leadership and people management skills. Key to this process is gaining an understanding of your own development needs as well as the development of others. We encourage you to think about your personal and business challenges in different, non-obvious ways. Drawing on fresh ideas, we help you to challenge conventional thinking and tired models. We give you the confidence to create a new exciting future for your organisation and your career. Managing your career

EXECUTIVE TEAMS

We help you to build cohesive executive teams with unshakeable confidence in their ability to achieve their goals. We challenge your team to rethink the way they approach one another and their tasks to resolve conflict and foster cooperation within and between groups. More Info »

STRATEGIC CHANGE

Restructure, Acquisitions, Divestments, Employee Engagement – the ability to lead the process of internal change in response to changes in your business environment is a crucial capability for leaders. Poorly planned and executed change can lead to low morale, resignations, and unanticipated financial loss. Through our rigorous data-driven approach, we help you to plan and execute change, supporting your people through the process to ensure you minimise risk. With over two decades of experience, we have enabled hundreds of private and public sector organisations to achieve their change goals.

Termination is a challenging experience for executives.

Executives who have lost their jobs face numerous challenges:

(1) Overcome the psychological effect of termination. Losing your job can be traumatic.

(2) Analyse what happened and learn from your experience.

(3) Find yourself. Termination is often an opportunity for a life review.

(4) Develop a new career strategy - be very clear about the industry, organisation, function and job level you are aiming for. This requires a lot of thought and research.

(5) Formulate a self-marketing strategy to target prospective employers. This task also needs a lot of research.

(6) Prepare high quality self-marketing materials.

(7) Extend your network, aggressively. Most job opportunities come from people you are remotely connected to through others, not your close connections.

The most promising job opportunities come from the unadvertised market so it's essential to connect with people who can help you pe*****te this market.

(8)Prepare for interviews and presentations. It's best to anticipate the questions you may be asked and develop a clear response. Rehearse interviews and presentations. However well your interview goes, it's important to debrief so you learn from the experience.

(9) Overcome disappointment if you are rejected. It can take many applications before you will receive a job offer.

(10) Once you have accepted a job offer, it's important to plan for your onboarding. This entails learning as much as you can about your new role and the potential challenges you face.

Getting over termination and finding a new job is a full-time challenge. It can take many months for a senior executive to find a new appointment.

At Milward and Partners: Executive Career Consulting, our professionals will support you through the entire termination to rehire process!
