Vision for London
Many organisations are finding new and innovative ways of developing their leaders. The world has entered a new phase which is putting new demands on leaders for which they are unprepared. Those of us in the Western world are now facing volatility and change to a much higher degree than ever before. Many UK and European-based organisations are realising the value of exposing their leaders to the kinds of change and volatility that have been common in emerging economies.
Imagine the power of leaders learning first-hand how changes as fundamental as those listed below have been implemented:
- Eastern European economies as they strive to become equal trading partners with the EU
- Leadership of businesses, governments and NGOs against the backdrop of transformation in African economies
- South African businesses that must change in the context of Black Economic Empowerment
- Chinese corporations as they move into unfamiliar territories such as Africa
- Legislative changes in Japan to drive the stagnated economy forward.
In these and many other cases, leaders have learned how to drive massive change within rigid structures constrained by the past. In the UK and Europe, leaders are now frequently faced with having to make changes of this magnitude - often for the first time.
The Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) has been running global programmes for many years tailored to organisations' need to equip their leaders for new challenges. Programmes have been run in 22 countries including India, China, Turkey, Dubai, Chile, Brazil, the UK and South Africa.
GIBS London will work with you to ensure that your organisation's strategy is in the hands of skilled, broad-minded and culturally-aware leaders.
