Fife Future Leaders Programme

Are you a senior manager or aspiring leader ready to take the next step in your leadership career? The Fife Future Leaders Programme, developed by the University of St Andrews Business School Executive Education in partnership with Fife Chamber of Commerce, is a six-month leadership development programme for high-performing senior managers, departmental leaders and aspiring executives across Fife and the surrounding region. Running from January to June 2027, the programme comprises of five one-day, in-person workshops delivered at locations across Fife.

With a participant fee of £1,900, the programme combines expert input from University of St Andrews faculty and industry practitioners with practical learning and a capstone project addressing a real organisational challenge. The five workshops cover Personal Leadership Development, Developing Management, Leadership Skills, Managing Organisational Challenges, Operational Leadership Fundamentals and Leadership Futures, exploring topics including decision-making, team dynamics, organisational change, AI, commercial and financial understanding, and future-focused leadership.

Each participant will also be allocated a programme mentor, the mentoring relationship offers tailored guidance, constructive challenge, and accountability, helping participants translate their learning into practice. Throughout the programme, participants will develop a strategic capstone project focused on a genuine organisational issue, with the opportunity to apply new skills, develop recommendations and demonstrate measurable value to their organisation. The programme concludes with a graduation ceremony and dinner after the final workshop day at the University of St Andrews, celebrating participants’ achievements.
