Futures School: Executive Leadership Programme |
1. Overview:
Join us for the Futures School Executive Leadership Programme. This programme is a comprehensive 10-month initiative designed for senior leaders in philanthropic organisations (chief executive officers, board presidents and trustees, chief financial officers, chief operations officers, chief investment officers, chiefs of staff, strategy directors, programme directors, directors of communications, foresight directors and other seasoned leaders) to raise their ambition and make progress in the face of uncertainty. Futures School focuses on organisational transformation and invites executive teams and individuals working on a real-life challenge and gives a platform to leaders who are on a transformation journey and are eager to grow, learn, exchange and connect as people and professionals.
The leaders selected for this programme will receive support from Philea, its partners Bikubenfonden, CIFS, Famtastisch Stiftung, Kamel Lazaar Foundation, and Stiftung Mercator Schweiz and the wider Philea community to bolster their anticipatory capacity, strategic decision-making and ability to evaluate risk and drive progress on issues related to climate and biodiversity, technology, democracy and the just transition.
