Program Overview
During the first week you’ll develop a deep understanding of the dynamics which shape the global business landscape, gaining insights into the evolution of the world economy and examining how products, markets, consumers, and competition have changed over time--and are rapidly changing today. You will explore different cultural perspectives and their implications for business, and develop successful strategies for intercultural leadership. This week will provide you with a broad business context to better understand and explore new opportunities created by the emerging financial power brokers.
In the second week you will examine the changing nature of strategic choices in the new competitive landscape, constructing a framework for creating strategy and thinking about competitive advantage. During the week, you’ll explore the business implications of cutting-edge developments in technology, biotechnology, bioengineering, and healthcare. You will also assess your role as a business leader in understanding and addressing the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of business decisions on customers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of your operations.
The third week of the program begins by exploring the unique demands and expectations of senior leaders. Throughout the week you will experience the power of collaborative leadership, developing skills to lead more effectively in a global and virtual world; to lead the work of change; to develop other leaders; and to create a culture of sustainable innovation. Feedback from your peers and colleagues will help you gain insight into your personal strengths and identify development opportunities. One-on-one coaching will help you to interpret and integrate this feedback and create an individualized development plan.
The last week of the program provides highly pragmatic analytical skills, tools and concepts to apply your new learning in your organization. You will learn successful leadership from a CEO’s viewpoint including how to detect patterns and anticipate shifts in the business environment; how to make more effective decisions; how to innovate at an organizational level; and how to create and establish a new business model.
