Flagship Program "Leadership for Economic Development"

The world is changing very fast. And only an understanding of technological, economic, demographic and environmental trends in at least a 20-year perspective will allow the development of successful policies, strategies and business models.

Economic development or decline is not a coincidence. Despite the influence of external factors, which we can not control, the economy is not so chaotic. By better understanding its architecture, patterns, trends and management tools, it is possible not only to build a successful business, but also to put market forces at the service of society.

Instead of “going with the flow” and trying to make predictions, we can already project a better economic reality. And not only at the level of households or companies, but also of cities and the country as a whole. International practice offers a wide range of tools to attract investment and create jobs, which we will share with reference to Ukrainian realities.

Strategy is the foundation on which the long-term success of any organization or project is built. We will analyze key theoretical concepts and models, as well as consider best management practices within the context of Ukraine’s conditions.

Where, how and under what conditions you can take money for the implementation of development projects – one of the main issues of the company, non-profit organization or local community. We will analyze the real cases of attracting investments, loans, grants and budget financing in Ukraine.

First people, then strategies – the principled idea of Jack Welch. We will analyze effective approaches, models and practices of creating and developing winning teams in business, public and public sectors.

Reputation has a high value and impact on the long-term success of projects. We will consider how to work effectively “for a long time” with the brand of a person, organization, territory. And also how to live in the era of propaganda and repel information attacks.

“Culture eats a strategy for breakfast,” said Peter Drucker. Sometimes what seems least practical is most beneficial and most valuable. Together we will go to a greater depth of perception and open new horizons of thinking.
