This capstone course is your opportunity to bring together everything you have learned across the Data-Driven Leadership specialisation and demonstrate your skills in practice. Rather than introducing new content, this course is designed to consolidate your understanding of leadership narratives, agile strategy, and data-driven decision-making through a structured, assessed assignment.
You will choose from one of three assignment options, each focused on a core theme from the specialisation: leadership narratives, agile leadership, or data-driven decision-making. Whichever you choose, you will be expected to apply critical thinking, draw on evidence and data, and demonstrate your ability to evaluate leadership approaches in a real-world context. Completing this capstone is a significant achievement. It signals to employers and peers that you have not only engaged with cutting-edge leadership theory, but that you can apply it. Research consistently shows that leaders who combine data literacy with strategic and agile thinking are among the most sought-after in today's organisations β and this capstone gives you the evidence to demonstrate exactly that. No new prerequisites are required beyond completion of the preceding courses in this specialisation.
In preparation for the capstone project, this module summarises what we have learned so far. From the history of leadership to the modern context of data-driven leaders, the module will remind you of those key points before we go into the final assessment.
