About Course
A network is defined as ‘a group or system of interconnected people or things’. In modern society networking has changed the way we interact with other people on a professional and personal level. Networking as a skill can be a powerful tool for persuasion and change as well as forming unique relationships that often defy traditional hierarchical structures and limitations.
In this short course, learners will understand the difference between networking and hierarchy by critiquing the bureaucratic approach to organisation. Learners will gain an understanding of how networks can react to complex situations. Understand the power of networked communication and the ability to articulate how society, state and business utilise networks to create change and action. Learners will recognise the value of engaging, investing and building upon their own personal networking relationships and professional connectivity.
This short course is particularly well suited to graduates or anybody looking to improve their employability prospects.
