Leverage your spheres of influence for strategic impact

Businesses are more than just economic entities; they are influential social and political players operating under the watchful eyes of diverse stakeholders, from the general public to governments, NGOs, and the media. In the context of sustainability, where innovation often outpaces regulation and competition is fierce, organizations must proactively shape the terms of their environment.

In this program, you will gain the essential skills to navigate your organization’s complex social, political, and regulatory environment – often called your ‘nonmarket’ environment – to accelerate your sustainability transformation and pave the way for success. Whether you work in a legacy industry, a disruptive venture, or an established incumbent, you will learn how to analyze your business environment, identify challenges, and craft strategies to overcome barriers while creating more favorable conditions for your sustainability strategy to succeed.

With a blended approach combining liVe virtual sessions, online resources, and in-person learning, complemented by compelling case studies and insights from guest lecturers, you will engage in thought-provoking discussions and develop a holistic nonmarket strategy that integrates with your market strategy to drive your sustainability transformation.
