When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Disruption is no longer the exception—it’s the environment in which leaders operate. In this course, you’ll move beyond simply forecasting the future to actively shaping it through strategic insight and informed action.

You’ll develop the ability to sense early signals of change, analyse emerging disruptions, and challenge the limits of conventional market research. The course introduces practical tools and approaches to help you uncover new and authentic sources of competitive advantage, enabling you to turn uncertainty into strategic opportunity. With a strong focus on agility and innovation, you’ll learn how to respond effectively to shifting markets while building resilience into your leadership approach. Designed for strategic thinkers, entrepreneurs, and business professionals, this course supports leaders who want to stay ahead of market change and guide their organisations with confidence in volatile and uncertain conditions. It builds directly on the foundations of strategic leadership and prepares you for leading transformation at scale.
