Creating the Future

Viewing the Future of Executive Education Through the Lens of India

March 27-30, 2017

Location: Harvard Center Mumbai India Research Center

This conference focused on the future of executive education through the lens of India.

Creating the Future

Viewing the Future of Executive Education Through the Lens of India

March 27-30, 2017

Location: Harvard Center Mumbai India Research Center

This conference focused on the future of executive education through the lens of India. The conference looked broadly at India as a rapidly developing economy (RDE) to understand how RDEs will transform the world economy and the global business landscape—and why we need to think about executive development on a much larger scale.

Immense business opportunities are emerging in the executive education industry. To help our clients succeed, we must understand the need for RDEs to develop next-generation leaders who are inspired to find solutions to mega challenges like income inequality, sustainability, and global security.
