We recognise that the nature of 'Leadership', human systems and systems dynamics in all sectors in the UK has been under-researched in the past albiet from a critical perspective. However, we are convinced that there are many creative and effective leadership practices here in Wales to begin with, which merit being researched, documentation, and dissemination. However, we need companies in which to do this research.

We are as the Glamorgan Business School committed to providing an exceptional research agenda, to critically investigate and understand the nature of leadership in all sectors of industry and Public Sector provision, operating to the highest international values.  We desire a meaningful, research-informed exchange of ideas with the WAG Skills Providers, through research-based action workshops, projects, and conferences. We are also funding a number of practitioner-researchers within the sector. Do You wish to help Wales become world leaders again? Will you/your organisation allow us in to research your company. No catches, no consultants, just academic advice, support and data collection of practice.

WHY?

Well the speed of change and the associated complexity facing organisations in the late 20th and early 21st Centuries has meant that leaders are increasingly having to develop methods and solutions which would have been considered unthinkable a few years before. In other words leaders have more than ever before to come up with creative ideas that can be developed into successful innovations and organisations. While clearly this imperative can be related to new products and services, a crucial dimension is the harnessing of the creative abilities of employees such that the tacit knowledge they possess can be utilized to best affect.

The challenge is then to develop systems, structures, humans and cultures/climates which enable the organisation to succeed in achieving (their) interpretation of organisational ‘effectiveness’ and ‘competitive advantage’.

Is this possible in Wales?
