Leading Sustainable Business Transformation

"My biggest takeaway from the course was to think about sustainability just like other functions. Serious like safety, structured like quality, and as a long-term investment like R&D. Also, it is important to always think about value. Recognizing the value of sustainability brings the business case and creates pull from stakeholders. Pushing sustainability without value is like swimming against the current."

"The Leading Sustainable Business Transformation course was an incredibly enriching learning experience that surpassed all my expectations. The insights gained on leading sustainability strategies and projects through real-world challenges were impactful and deep. Collaborating with a diverse and super-cool cohort of international change-makers and making new friends from all around the world was personally very meaningful for me. It was simply powerful to see what 25 people from a dozen or more nations that came together in a room achieved in just four days!"

The program highlighted the power of collaboration as well as the importance of having a disruptor’s mindset and understanding non-market stakeholder engagement. Among many other activities, we applied the future-back method to climate change and exercised storytelling as a powerful tool to make our messages matter. The extraordinary professors are now my heroes and my inspiration to continue the sustainable business transformation journey."
