Leadership in the Global Enterprise Experience
Lead a global team and master the art of inspiring, unifying, and innovating to create impactful solutions for a better world.
Course overview
Develop your skills as a global leader, a creative problem solver, a social entrepreneur, and a citizen of the world!
Lead a global team online to craft a six-page business concept proposal for a profitable venture that tackles a UN Sustainable Development Goal with limited capital. Compete for awards, prize money, certificates, and seed capital.
As a leadership challenge, you’ll lead this global team over three weeks to develop the proposal. Connect with your team online, build friendships, brainstorm creative ideas, and collaborate on the proposal. This contest has been recognised with a United Nations Alliance of Civilizations award for nurturing leaders across 135 countries, empowering them to use business to address the UN SDGs.
You’ll receive training in developing a business proposal, using virtual team technology, fostering creativity, honing leadership skills, understanding social entrepreneurship, and most importantly, personal growth. Access educational technology resources, attend interactive webinars, participate in peer-support workshops, and receive personal one-on-one coaching.
