On the Academy programme participants work in international teams to examine and resolve live corporate challenges. These projects were then presented to Board members and senior managers at the Graduation Day event together with outcomes from individual learning review papers.
Each group has a senior manager attached to them to act as “corporate client” and also a “Board sponsor” to ensure feasibility and alignment of projects with corporate objectives.
