Sustainable transition management Sustainable transition management
Program overview
The multiple economic, environmental, and social challenges we are currently facing means that companies need to rethink their strategy, their business model, and their relationship with society.
The transition to a sustainable and responsible approach to business is more than just an imperative. It is an opportunity, which enables organizations to create new forms of competitive advantage, to invent new business models, to control their risks, to stimulate innovation, and to develop more inclusive management styles.
Everyone, at his or her level of the organization, has an important role to play.
The objective of the Sustainable Transition Management program is to help managers and executives drive the sustainable transition of their company, and thereby define and implement an harmonious approach to strategy, which focuses on economic performance and takes into account the major challenges of today and tomorrow.
