Management
Introduction
Secretary-General António Guterres has emphasized the need for the United Nations (UN) to become more nimble, efficient and effective, shifting its focus from excessive process and bureaucracy to delivery and people. In other words, to better support countries in advancing the 2030 Agenda, the UN must transform the way it works, starting with the mindsets and capacities of its personnel, particularly managers. In line with UN Management Reform, UNSSC contributes to shaping a common UN management culture across the system by offering robust learning solutions that strengthen managers’ ability to lead effective teams, implement change and enhance the organization’s programmatic and operational capacities, thereby enabling the UN to achieve its global objectives.
Training managers for a more agile and future-ready UN
Drawing from decades of experience working with UN entities and partners, we offer a unique combination of individual learning offerings, customized learning solutions and initiatives designed to build capacity in project, change, team, people and performance management. These programmes prepare managers to lead high-performing teams, manage resources effectively, plan strategically, communicate efficiently and drive organizational transformation. Our learning initiatives also foster operational excellence by cultivating personnel’s skills in promoting simplified and harmonized processes, eliminating duplication and maximizing economies of scale.

Executive Management Programme
The Executive Management Programme (EMP) is a well-established, flagship leadership offer designed primarily for P5-level senior managers, with limited exceptions for P4 staff with significant managerial responsibilities. It provides a deep and integrated development journey that strengthens executive decision-making, people and performance management, strategic planning, partnership building, communication, innovation, and inclusive leadership through a highly learner-centred and experiential approach. This longer and more intensive engagement represents a significant time investment for participants and is highly customisable to organisational needs; while typically delivered in a blended format combining online learning, coaching, and workshops, it can also be implemented fully online to ensure maximum flexibility and reach.
