Introduction to our school

Impact from within

""

Solving the world’s challenges is no longer the preserve of government; business has growing power, influence and responsibility. So, business needs leaders primed for that task. 

Our School is uniquely placed to answer the call; our commitment to excellence and our global network of alumni empower our students to shape industries, drive sustainability and uplift communities.

We develop future leaders, who go into business with purpose, and make real impact. This is mission critical, because only then can business make meaningful impact on the world – the kind of impact that helps address the most pressing issues of our day, from the climate crisis to the AI revolution. 

This proposition – transforming individuals, who transform businesses, which transform the world – is what we mean by impact from within.
