What you will learn

A business shouldn’t have to choose between profit and purpose.

As well as mastering strategy and finance, business leaders today need to demonstrate they can do the right thing when it comes to their people and to major social, political and environmental issues.

The Covid-19 crisis has made this clearer than ever. In this process, HR and L&D functions have become crucial to business survival and the growth of sustainable leadership.

As with Covid-19, ESG issues are ultimately defined by their effects on people. It is crucial, then, that those responsible for the development of leaders and people within organisations play an important role in how companies emerge from the global pandemic.

This report’s goal is to prepare leaders to support their business through some of the most significant shifts in the history of business.
