How will you learn
Step into a dynamic learning experience designed for top executives. Through strategic foresight and systems thinking, you’ll uncover critical global trends and sharpen your decision-making. Engaging peer exchanges will challenge your perspectives, while immersive methods – like haptic and theater-based exercises – bring leadership concepts to life, ensuring tangible, lasting impact.
As leaders of our organizations, we have a duty to set the direction, and this will not be possible if we do not fully understand the context in which we operate and the changes taking place in it.
In this busy world, it is hard to find an opportunity to stop for a moment, put aside the current problems that consume us every day, look at the bigger picture of what surrounds us and what is inevitably coming.
That is why I am glad that the opportunity for reflection arose during the Senior Executive Program - The GameChanger at SDA Bocconi University in Milan and ESMT Berlin in Berlin, where together with my peers, we explored the most important topics regarding macro trends and leadership to drive growth and transformation of KRUK in our local markets and beyond.
It is never too late to learn, meet people who will help you broaden your horizons and challenge your point of view.
Thanks to all participants and professors for creating a platform for exchanging experiences
