This innovative Blended Intensive Programme enables graduate students to develop the leadership skills required to succeed in an ever-changing, technology-driven and interconnected world.
Building on foundational leadership theories, the programme emphasizes future skills — the human, digital and socio-emotional competencies that will define effective leadership in the decades ahead. During an intensive, immersive week combined with online preparation and reflective self-study, participants will explore how leaders can navigate complexity, collaborate with AI systems, build resilient and diverse teams, and lead ethically and sustainably in dynamic global environments. Learning is deeply experiential, combining interactive workshops, case analyses and mindfulness-based self-leadership practices with an initial self-assessment to establish baseline competencies and personal development goals.
The intensive week centres on a collaborative group challenge, in which international teams of students analyse a specific leadership approach. They then design, develop and facilitate a practical training exercise for their peers, fostering peer feedback and cross-institutional learning. This exercise also enables students to apply theory to real-world scenarios.
By the end of the programme, participants will have completed a personalized self-assessment, developed an in-depth understanding of their leadership style and areas for development, and applied cutting-edge leadership tools to real-life challenges. They will be well-placed to influence, rather than simply react to, the future of work.
