Why join now?

Digitalisation with technologies driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution are disrupting the business landscape, amplified by environmental challenges. Rising geopolitical tensions and the recent global pandemic adds to the complexity.

Major business opportunities arise for those who seize them and risks to those who do not.

Leaders need to grasp the new environment in which we operate and revisit the strategic analysis. Find a balance between exploiting the known and exploring the unknown to maximise results over time.

Companies need to build new capabilities and learn new ways to operate, where customer-centric innovation and a fast learning organisation is key to success.

This program builds the capabilities of leaders by providing the perspectives, insights, tools and mindsets necessary to drive transformation and gives access to an alumni network for continued development.
