Executive MSc in Change Leadership
WHAT’S YOUR NEW STORY OF CHANGE?
NEW VISIONS REQUIRE NEW MINDSETS AND METHODS
We are facing fundamental challenges, from climate crisis, AI and machine learning, to rising inequality. These have been accentuated by Covid-19 pandemic and are raising critical questions about the purpose, meaning and impact of change.
In the challenges ahead, business as usual will no longer be an option, but breaking out of the old story requires courageous change leadership. Leaders from business, government and civil society organisations need to move beyond their current stories of change.
