Global Leadership 2020 helps executive teams accomplish three fundamental, sustainable transformations necessary for success in a global marketplace:

1. Industry transformation to build global competitiveness
2. Organizational transformation to encourage productivity, innovation, and growth
3. Individual transformation to create effective corporate leaders in a changing global environment.

Teams are immersed in cultures different from their own and introduced to the process of transcultural business. They learn how to create market advantage by embracing cultural differences, develop a global—as distinct from international—perspective, and gain leadership skills that are relevant to their business.

At the heart of the Global Leadership 2020 learning experience are collaborative, hands-on, action learning projects. Projects require teams to develop innovative approaches to their own global challenges through cross-functional, cross-business, and cross-border collaboration. This process of building a stronger, more team-focused organization is one of the most valuable program components.

The expertise of international faculty is supplemented by site visits to local companies, panel presentations, receptions, and dinner gatherings, where local, political, and community leaders and global executives share their insights. Participants will gain perspective from a range of successful leaders, their teammates, and fellow participants.
