Program structure & calendar

Program Structure

The program addresses how to identify opportunities for profitable growth and how to respond and adapt to challenges in the face of global economic trends that are making the world more complex and uncertain. Participants will examine the latest concepts, ideas and tools to help them align their business practices with global and regional economic developments and conditions.

Three overarching themes guide the program:

  The opportunities and risks in the region focused upon in each particular module
  Leadership capabilities in a range of key areas including self-leadership, change management and cross-cultural management 
  The Cross-Program Project (CPP), which consists of a strategic action plan designed around a particular business challenge that each participant has identified before the program begins
