About the MBE

The MBE reinvents and extends the traditional MBA. The program equips leaders with a renewed and regenerative understanding of leadership, including the tools, strategies and philosophies to successfully lead a purposeful organisation.

We will explore the role of community and culture, the power of storytelling and communication, the magic of operations and governance, the complexity of decision making and strategy, the potential of finance and reporting, and the critical importance of imagination and creativity. Of course, despite the global nature of the challenges we face, the change we seek begins with ourselves. As such, the MBE is framed around an understanding of the Good Society and the Good Life, including the role of ethics, justice, ecology and the meaning of life itself.

We are seeking intrepid explorers who are ready to lead purposeful organisations that benefit people and the planet. We are seeking courageous leaders who imagine new futures and actively seek to remake the world.

The MBE is a transformative opportunity to delve into our inner lives, to learn regenerative leadership practices, and to develop life-long connections.

Join this Information Night to explore more about the MBE program for learning to lead in the next economy.
