Note:

This masterclass aims to provide participants with a starting point towards leading purpose-driven organisations and use their unique strategic contributions to deliver on wellbeing of all people and planet. This is not a substitute for a deeper executive education course.  We will cover foundational information, practical tools and explore case studies. We will have a lot of opportunity for engagement/ discussion with the speakers and fellow participants in- and outside the sessions. We aim to cover a cross-section of industries and diversity of case studies so that organisations big and small can relate to the transformation journey. As such, we cannot be too specific on sectors, markets, company types or sizes. This is not a one size-fits all course for all businesses.
