A GLOBAL ONLINE MBA TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR MARK

​Impact is about learning how to make big things happen in the real world – in the workplace and beyond. People with amazing strengths and know-how can still find themselves unable to create the impact they desire. That’s because it goes beyond just knowledge and experience. Impact comes down to who you are, how you think and how you behave when confronted by the toughest challenges in the business world: facing difficult situations, difficult problems and, sometimes, difficult people.​

The Global Online MBA is designed to equip you with the skills you’ll need to make that impact. Business is about finding solutions, and the hardest problems are the ones people will tell you can’t be solved. We’ll help you learn the critical reasoning, problem-solving and creative thinking skills needed to tackle those challenges. We’ll show you how to influence and persuade to get things done. We’ll teach you to negotiate, debate and collaborate to enable you to overcome the hurdles you’ll face. And we’ll arm you with the impact skills that underpin it all so that data becomes your ally.​

Nothing creates urgency and friction like a diverse team facing a big problem on a short deadline, the kind of scenario found in the business world every day. We’ll recreate exactly those situations, in the safety of a lab where you can experiment with new behaviors, new mindsets and new ways of working, putting into practice everything you’ve learned to help you become a high-impact business professional.
