About the course.
Being a manager in sustainable development requires strong leadership and knowledge of the complex sustainability issue. This course is for you who are new or have a couple of years' experience as head of sustainability, CEO or senior manager. The purpose is to strengthen your managerial role while giving you strategic competence in sustainable development. We mix theory with practical cases in which you learn how to bring management along, integrate sustainability into the business plan and create new ways of working that work.
This diploma course combines theory with practical cases, reflection and the exchange of experience to develop questions that lead to insight and real change. You work on a concrete challenge from your own organisation, for example integrating sustainability into the business plan, engaging management or introducing new ways of working.
We give you structures, language and methods for using business plans and legislation as drivers instead of obstacles. Through reflection and collegial dialogue in a safe group you are also strengthened in your role, gain new perspectives and become part of a network that continues to support you after the course.
