Programme Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Implementing and Evaluating Innovation, Change and Learning (GCIEX) is a 15-credit unit, 16-week programme comprising two courses focusing on implementing change intervention, analysing intervention outcomes and stakeholder feedback, and learning through self-reflection and experience.

Programme Highlights

This Graduate Certificate offers learners the opportunity to implement change intervention guided by dialogue and feedback from peers and industry mentors, critically reflect on their experience as change agents, and appraise their stances on leadership, learning, innovation and change. 

Graduates of the GCIEX will have first-hand experience of delving methodically into an organisational issue for which some actions carry the potential for positive change and impact, setting the planned action in motion, and evaluating it from a variety of angles and perspectives. They will discover their biases, inclinations and strengths when leading change and extract lessons from the experience. 

The Graduate Certificate in Implementing and Evaluating Innovation, Change and Learning is a core certificate of the Master in Boundary-Crossing Learning and Leadership (MBX) programme, and stackable towards that qualification.

The Graduate Certificate consists of 2 courses.


BXL611: Implementing Cross Boundary Change

In this course, learners will review their proposal developed in GCLBX. Once necessary approvals from relevant stakeholders have been obtained, learners will implement the proposal over the period of two courses. Online and physical face-to-face dialogue and feedback from peers and mentor will be a constant feature of implementation. Learners will keep a reflexive account of the implementation process which will provide information and data for their write up of the implementation. This write up, along with short written feedback from selected stakeholders, will form the basis of assessment.

BXL612: Leader as Change Agent

This course looks back on the learner’s journey and forward to the future. An important aspect of leadership is effective use of and reflection on feedback. For these reasons, a key feature of this course is for learners to curate a feedback dialogue with invited selected stakeholders to share with the cohort, their experience of the implementation. Together, the group will critically analyse the feedback and discuss lessons learnt (for all involved in the discussion). 


Learners will surface and advance their stances on leadership, learning, innovation and change. Using their own and peers’ experiences, learners will critically analyse the different interventions, and the appropriateness of diverse forms of data and their analysis for both design and evaluation purposes. From this range of feedback from multiple sources, learners will strategise their next steps forward in their own development. This will contribute to their assessment for this course, along with the writing of a guide on change leadership for their selected audience. An alternative assessment for those who select it, will be writing a manuscript for submission to an academic publication.
