Do you have a thirst for understanding and challenging intellectual ideas beyond the boundaries of business education?
Do you wish to review your professional legacy, your life goals and your business vision?
Do you want a leadership programme that offers something truly original, that takes you out of the classroom and into other worlds of experience and knowledge?
Do you want space, dialogue and the company of global experts, fellow top professionals and business leaders to reflect on the major challenges of our times?

We promise to deliver a unique opportunity to learn, reflect and formulate change plans for your leadership role, business contributions and life directions.

This unique leadership programme was conceived, designed and led by Nigel Nicholson and co-directed by Patricia Hodgins. Proteus brings together experts from outside the usual realms of business education, along with world-class academics from London Business School.

Designed around six key themes; focused around your role as a leader, Proteus invites you to reflect on your life journey and its relation to your future business development.

The world is in a period of intense and rapid transition through the forces of globalisation.  You will review global trends and prospects in the context of economic, political, demographic and environmental change.  You will discover some of these themes in action through the experience of an historical walking tour of one of London´s most transformed districts.

 

Part of this day will be spent at a centre of new technology. Through discussions with inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs, you will explore how inventive processes and conceptions can overcome barriers and obstacles to achieve successful adoption and implementation.  You will consider how the process of scientific discovery can be integrated with business processes to drive economic development and innovation. 

Artistic creation and display are fundamental to being human and are key practices in adaptation and change. You will use the visual arts to examine key themes in the creative process and later in the day you will use the dramatic arts as a vehicle for investigating creativity in action.

Before moving on to the final field encounters, you will consider the role of leaders as agents of renewal, cultural navigators, and creators of value.  At the National Portrait Gallery you will examine the historical representation of leadership.  Secondly, you will visit a school, providing you with a unique opportunity to exchange with young people about conceptions of leadership and aspirations for future generations.

The last morning is devoted to the final workshop – an autobiographical lifeline exercise. Proteus aims to help you to examine your own life journey and how it relates to your future development.  This acts as the springboard for implementing your action plan post Proteus.
