Team
Our expert faculty come from the UK’s top management schools, including London Business School, Cambridge Judge Business School (University of Cambridge), Bayes Business School (City St. George's), Cranfield University, and King’s Business School (King’s College London) bringing academic rigour and leading research-based insights and inputs.
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
For ChangeSchool, Diversity and Inclusion relate to the similarities and differences between people. This includes not only gender, nationalities, age, sexual orientation, marital status and faith but also the development of the country ecosystems, experience and maturity of the in-country partners, buying power of innovators, social and educational backgrounds, hierarchy within organisations, stage of innovation and cultural power distances. It acknowledges that most individuals do not belong to a single identity group but, in most cases, to several.
By encouraging all our programme participants to be authentic and honest about their identities, we will promote meaningful dialogues leading to innovative approaches to problem-solving and creating options for greater opportunities.
The ChangeSchool leadership team is gender balanced, with over 50% being women and from diverse backgrounds and from four different countries.
