The Bridge Programme - Programme Overview

Course Overview

The Bridge Programme consists of 7 interactive webinars that you will complete with your cohort, plus an 8-week period of self-directed learning. Experienced commercial SMEs will facilitate the immersive webinars, with input and insight from professional coaches. There will be an engaging mix of challenging activities, exploration and practical learning, as well as a chance to receive feedback, and time for individual reflection. 

While the Bridge Programme is aligned to the ADC it is intended to go beyond this and support your development as a senior commercial leader.

Pre-work 

To get the best experience from this programme, we will ask you to complete various pre-webinar activities.This will boost your learning and enrich conversations in the interactive webinars that follow.

Action learning

As well as joining webinars and working together in your cohort, you will also be put into smaller groups to form Action Learning Groups. Your self-managed Action Learning Group (ALG) will meet and work together during the 8-week period of self-directed learning. Your ALG will provide you with a supportive network to further deepen your understanding of the topic areas you have been introduced to during your Bridge Programme development journey. The Commercial L&D Team will provide guidance on how to successfully run and set up your ALG.
