Managing businesses 

Leaders who make the transition to managing entire functions or businesses face increasingly complex challenges and competing demands.

Our new Reed Elsevier Business Leadership Programme is designed for these individuals, because as the scope of their role increases, their business responsibilities grow and their influence over others in the company also expands.

We want every senior leader in Reed Elsevier to have a firm grounding in the skills and behaviours needed to master this role – skills such as: thinking strategically, managing managers, managing financials, managing in a matrix organisation, setting priorities, and making trade-offs.

The programme includes two off-site sessions (led by Reed Elsevier leaders, a faculty drawn from prestigious academic institutions and leading consultants in the Learning and Development field) and participation in an online community. The programme is as intensive as the role itself.
