COURSE OVERVIEW

Online Live

The Leading Transition course is a 3-day conference-style professional certificate program where you will receive knowledge, case studies, and tools to navigate Canada’s most pressing transition issues and position yourself to help lead a transition from any organization level. Canada’s transition to a circular, climate-positive economy depends on courageous leaders from business, government and civil society. New competencies and innovative leadership models are needed to solve the world’s most significant transition issues — climate change, resource depletion, social and ecological justice, technology and artificial intelligence. The new mindset expands our focus from efficiency to effectiveness, from crisis to opportunity.
