Go to section Objectives Latest activities Partners Leadership at crossroads Through the onset of COVID-19, leadership across cancer organisations has been put decisively to the test, with traditional operating models upended, greater adoption of digital technologies and an uncertain strategic environment. As the cancer community moves on from the immediate crisis-response mode and emerge into a changed landscape, the ability of leaders and organisations to draw lessons from what has passed and make decisions amid the uncertainty will be critical to the resilience and success of the cancer community going forward. The UICC's organisational leadership workstream is designed to respond to the increasingly complex and uncertain operating environment by providing leaders in cancer organisations at all levels with spaces to take stock of the post-pandemic realities, platforms to explore the mindsets, skills and practices now called for, and opportunities to collaborate and take action together. The workstream builds on flagship initiatives, such as the Young Leaders programme, and the CEO Programme, expanding the approach through a refreshed combination of virtual and in-person learning and networking opportunities aimed at leaders across multiple levels, whether seasoned CEOs or emerging managers, patient advocates or healthcare executives, scientists in the lab or health practitioners on the frontline. Objectives By leveraging UICC platforms, as well as catalysing external leadership expertise to design targeted learning offers, the workstream aims to deliver the following objectives: Improve the capabilities of UICC members to lead the cancer community past COVID-19 Build management and organisational know-how across the UICC membership Nurture a community of emerging professionals to become future leaders in cancer control Create spaces for all UICC communities to discuss emerging leadership trends and explore collaborations Celebrate good practices and recognise excellence in organisational leadership for cancer control Latest activities and opportunities Essentials of leading and managing civil society organisations (CSOs) in cancer control Digital leadership training programme Organiser(s): Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) 'Leading questions' Virtual Dialogue series Working with and through partners The UICC's leadership offer is only possible thanks to support and expertise from partners across UICC's communities.
