Today’s world is facing huge challenges and deep transformations: global warming, shifts in global powers, resources and biodiversity depletion, rising inequalities, digital and technological disruptions and weakening social pacts. Such a context calls for radical changes to build more inclusive and sustainable business models. It is up to us not to miss these challenges and to make organizations more creative: We now have the opportunity to invent new lifestyles to reshape our cities, our working environments and our managerial approaches, and to develop new paths for our economies.

With a broad multidisciplinary approach to understand the complex challenges and forces that are shaping the global business environment, and a unique combination of theory and practice, this very intensive program enables participants to customize their curriculum and to hone their leadership skills.
