Art of brilliance: a handbook for leaders of transformation programmes

---

Details

This book has been written for Senior Responsible Owners (SROs), by SROs. The Art of Brilliance unpacks the behavioural characteristics of highly successful leaders of transformation to help move your professional performance from ‘good to great’. It aims to complement, and build upon, the formal MPLA course by bringing to life the everyday challenges you will face in a succinct and helpful aid.

It builds upon the IPA’s formal guidance, The Role of the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO), that sets out expectations and accountabilities of SROs.

Targeted at the newly appointed leader, it is intended to be an enduring reference that provides useful insights, prompts and ‘nudges’ to help you be brilliant every day.

The material is sourced from extensive interviews with SROs of previous transformation programmes and enhanced by research from the public and private sectors.
