While other programs may focus upon leadership and strategy for environmental leaders, we believe that the most critical challenge is to develop market-based solutions to environmental challenges and that will be the focus of the Cambridge Judge Business School program.
Our program delivery methodology will be multi-layered. We will use case studies but we will also use a range of other approaches, including scenarios, films, role plays and panels to produce a rich and engaging environment in which to share learning and build engagement.
We are more aware than ever of the dangers of climate change and habitat loss but collective action to ensure a greener, more resilient future for us all has fallen far short of what is required. To address such issues requires responses that are at the scale of the problems we are facing and the speed to match the urgency of the situation. The solution lies in collaboration between ENGOs, Governments, and the market. The Natural Allies program explores how these collaborations can be effective.
