GLOBAL LEADERSHIP RESIDENCY
Designed to accelerate leadership skills & cultural intelligence
The Global Leadership Residency (GLR) is a transformative, custom program designed to refine critical leadership skills, cultivate global awareness, and enhance cultural intelligence for mid-career professionals and senior executives enrolled in EMBA programs.
In each GLR, participants actively engage with local business communities, gaining insights into regional market dynamics, expanding their cultural perspectives, and strengthening their ability to craft effective strategies in a fast-changing, interconnected world.
This intensive, short-term program provides a comprehensive exploration of global economies, offering immersive experiences in diverse European locations such as Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, Portugal, or the Nordic countries.
IMPACTFUL LEARNING MODULES
Challenge Projects
For EMBA or Professional MBA students who are limited by time options but are looking for an immersive valued-added experience, our residencies are based on Sprint Challenge Projects - solving real challenges for client companies in the host country. These projects are rigorous and require the application of a wide range of skills of experienced business students to quickly solve the problems at hand. They usually focus on strategic challenges in different cultural and social contexts.
Business Visits & Panel Discussions
Leveraging our extensive European network of leading companies - from multinational corporations to dynamic startups, scaleups, and SMEs - students interact with top executives and industry experts to discuss strategies, emerging trends, and best practices. Panel discussions offer a platform for experts to share insights on pertinent topics, fostering deep understanding through diverse perspectives. These enriching learning events go beyond immediate practical applications, serving as a catalyst for developing broader, transferable knowledge that spans both business and non-business sectors.
Networking
Networking events facilitate connections among students, faculty, business leaders and industry professionals, promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange beyond the classroom.
We cooperate with prestigious professional associations, non-government & non-profit organizations, and chambers of commerce, including AmCham, to organize such activities. These events enhance participants' global business acumen, equipping them with invaluable insights and professional connections crucial for their future endeavors.
Cultural Immersion
Our residencies go beyond classroom learning to cultivate cultural intelligence. Students immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of the host country's culture, where historical sites, vibrant events, and delectable cuisine become their teachers.
They participate in cultural events, savor local delicacies, and connect with the community.
These experiences aren't just enriching but building blocks for developing crucial intercultural competencies. More than sightseeing, this is active engagement.
GLRs center around pivotal global topics, inter-woven into each module for a holistic learning experience.
