Bridging-Changes - Academy for Leadership in Practice

We are living in perilous times. The global community met in September at the United Nations Global Assembly in New York, to check on the progress of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the halfway mark towards the 2030 deadline, it’s clear that we are well off track. Governments, the UN and the non-profit sector must do more -but I also believe that the global business community has a critical role to play. Specifically, to drive the breakthrough innovations that are going to tackle some of the social and environmental challenges. That’s not a challenge confined to the corporate R&D departments. The most successful organisations will tap into the innate human ingenuity of their entire workforces.
