The World of Tomorrow
The World of Tomorrow (WoT) is a unique, highly transformative and impact-oriented training program designed to introduce senior executives to the main trends in technological and social disruption, and to help them to transform those trends into new opportunities for their businesses.
The course comprises three Study Tours in three different countries, and during that time participants have the opportunity to interact with experts from a variety of fields and to study how some of the world’s finest public and private institutions are dealing with the challenges of the digital age. Participants also enjoy a number of cultural activities and engage in design-thinking workshops aimed at updating and expanding their analytical, managerial and leadership skills.
The Program pursues two final goals: to stimulate the reflexions and knowledge of participants that will reinforce their current strategic thought, and to help them produce a set of concrete proposals to modernize their organization and adapt it to the world that is coming.
