Global leadership in international development requires tackling complex challenges that go beyond national borders. As the world works towards the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda, budding leaders need to understand both the technical and human sides of development.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why IE University has partnered with the United Nations System Staff College<\/a> (UNSSC). Together, we’ve developed our Bachelor in International Relations<\/a> and Master in International Development<\/a>. This partnership combines academic learning with real-world applications, preparing students for the dynamic field of international development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, the collaboration<\/a> brings seasoned UNSSC staff into our classrooms at the IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs<\/a>. Instructors Berin McKenzie, Sabine Bhanot and Itziar Arispe tell us more about how these programs shape future global leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging theory and practice with hands-on learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Berin McKenzie<\/a>, head of the UNSSC\u2019s Knowledge Centre for Leadership and Management, explains that these joint IE-UNSSC programs are grounded in real-world needs. \u201cThe aim is to equip participants not just with an understanding of what <\/em>needs to be done, but more importantly, how <\/em>to do it\u2014how to navigate the complexities, challenges and opportunities they will face in global development and international cooperation,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berin believes many programs don\u2019t fully prepare students for the realities of global governance. \u201cToo often, educational interventions focus on theoretical solutions, but in this space, theory alone is insufficient.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His courses help students connect academic ideas with real experiences, offering insights into how the United Nations works and how to make an impact in such a large and complex organization. In his own words, \u201cWe need to prepare participants to be effective change agents in an arena that is as inspiring and brilliant as it is bureaucratic and infuriating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing key skills for change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In international development, success is not just about textbook knowledge. Sabine Bhanot, an organizational change expert at the UNSSC, points out that knowing how to manage change is crucial. \u201cUnderstanding the psychology of change and how to navigate it has become a foundational tool for all change leaders driving the goals of the 2030 Agenda,\u201d she notes. Sabine focuses on teaching professionals how to lead effective change strategies, helping them apply what they\u2019ve learned in real-world situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabine also emphasizes the value of collaboration and continuous professional development. \u201cCommunities of practice where you can have an honest conversation are vital to learning fast, as what seemed the pivot of knowledge today is no longer sufficient tomorrow.\u201d This collaborative approach is core to the IE-UNSSC programs, where students work to solve real-world challenges in international development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of data and evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Itziar Arispe<\/a>, a professor at IE University and evaluation learning specialist at UNSSC, incorporates her data analysis and evaluation expertise into these programs. \u201cI consider evaluation to be a very important discipline that everyone should learn about; it tells us what we are doing well and what we can do to improve,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itziar\u2019s courses focus on teaching students how to use data to assess the effectiveness of policies and programs in global development. Drawing from her extensive experience in various UN agencies, Itziar shows her class how to use data to direct decision-making. Through this practical approach, students apply what they\u2019ve learned to their own work, making their efforts more impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a holistic skill set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global development work also requires emotional intelligence and resilience, qualities that Berin, Sabine and Itziar all emphasize. Berin explains that excelling in this field requires more than technical knowledge: \u201cSuccess in international development requires a deeper, more nuanced toolkit.\u201d He stresses that emotional and cultural intelligence are key to thriving in high-pressure environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabine agrees, noting that resistance to change often comes from valid concerns within organizations. \u201cWhen people resist change, they have\u2014in their minds\u2014credible reasons,\u201d she says. This is why listening and understanding are essential parts of leading change. Itziar also highlights the need for an open mind and continuous reflection in development work, saying that this helps leaders stay adaptable and effective in the face of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaping global change leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between IE University and the UNSSC offers a unique learning experience blending academic excellence and hands-on experience. Students gain insights directly from experienced professionals in the field, who share their know-how and insider insights into global governance and development. In addition, each program’s curriculum is designed with the input of a leading global organization on the frontlines of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduates of these programs are equipped with a leader’s technical skills, emotional intelligence, resilience and adaptability. These are all qualities that help you lead positive change on the global stage. Through this collaboration, you’ll be ready to tackle the challenges of global development with a lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
