Empowering leaders for 2026 and beyond

The need to build new skills and capabilities has never been greater. With artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital technologies transforming every industry, the way we work and make decisions is being redefined. To stay ahead, professionals must go beyond adaptation cultivating higher-level skills, agility, and innovative thinking that empowers them to lead transformation, not just respond to it.
We believe that learning is not a one-time event, it’ s a lifelong journey. Meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow requires more than ad-hoc learning; it calls for a strategic, continuous, and work-integrated approach to capability development, one that enables you to learn, apply, and lead in real time.
We are delighted to present our 2026 Executive Education Course Portfolio, showcasing a comprehensive suite of programs designed to equip leaders and professionals with the skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. Inside, you’ ll find courses spanning short courses for Leadership, Business and Management, AI, Digital and Data, Strategy and Creativity, Communication and Negotiation, Innovation and Creativity and Governance, Risk and Law. Our courses are each crafted to inspire growth and impact.
AGSM’ s short courses combine evidencebased learning frameworks, global thought leadership, and immersive, action-based experiences available both online and inperson. Our world class facilitators design and lead courses that empower individuals to accelerate their careers, transition into new roles, and drive meaningful impact within their organisations and communities.
Guided by UNSW’ s vision of Progress for All, AGSM’ s cutting-edge short courses are designed to support professionals with the skills, agility, and confidence to navigate complexity, seize opportunity, and create lasting impact. Together, we’ re building the leadership capabilities that will shape a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable future.
