Reimagining Business Education: From Inner Exploration to Outer Transformation
If you believe that business needs a fundamental transformation of values and mindset, then come explore with us the role that education plays in this transformation.
In this workshop we will examine how inner development fostered in business education can initiate broader leadership change in business.
Join us in imagining a world where business education is fit for a sustainable future. Education that guides people in connecting their inner world with the outer world: in tune with their values, their humanity, and interconnectedness with the rest of the world, and enables them to act out of this place when they create their organizations, strategies and actions. We will learn from each other's experiences and explore ways to collaborate going forward. Our intention is not to just talk about the topic but to practice it and identify project ideas that we could jointly take forward.
