The International Masterclass for Transformative Co-operative Leadership: Co-operatives and Complexity is offered by the International Centre for Co-operative Management (ICCM) in the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University (Canada). This participatory program is designed for co-operative leaders looking to build stronger enterprises, achieve audacious goals, and meet the intergenerational needs of members and communities.
The masterclass elaborates on these topics throughout the week:
Sector leaders are invited to register for this in-person learning (in Nova Scotia, Canada). The design of the Masterclass includes a mix of learning approaches such as structured learning (lectures and discussions), participatory sessions (group exercises), analysis of case studies and examples, and experiential visits (e.g. site visits to co-operatives and like-minded organizations). During five days together, the leaders expand their perspectives while discovering opportunities to strengthen their enterprises and networks.
Target audience: Senior managers and executives, Board members, and leaders from the global co-operative and mutual sector. High potential younger leaders are also encouraged to register.
