The business environment is constantly changing and therefore requires new strategies both to survive and to make meaningful progress. Business and organizational leaders need to continually adapt to respond to the changing dynamics. In recognition of this dynamism, Daystar University created the Leadership & Governance Institute (DLGI), formerly the Daystar Leadership and Professional Development Institute (DLPDI), with a mandate to offer short courses that impart practical skills to professionals in the various sectors.
The Institute's short courses are run by two arms formerly known as Christian Ministries and Training (DLPDI-CMT) and DLPDI-Executive Education (DLPDI-exEDU). The Christian Ministries and Training courses are tailor-made for Church and community leaders while Executive Education courses target corporate leaders.
The Institute's courses are designed to help business and organizational leaders to explore ways of moving their businesses forward. As such, the courses are conducted in a facilitative way with an emphasis on current trends and practical ways that can help an organization fulfill its mandate. The courses are conducted in such a way that allows maximum interactions and networking among participants.
