The Management School of the Future -
A school built for the century ahead
By the 2080s, the world’s population is expected to peak at around 10 billion people. This unprecedented scale will place major pressures on our cities, healthcare systems, energy use, labour markets and natural resources — reshaping how societies live, work and thrive.
We’re building a bold response. Preparing leaders, organisations and communities not just to adapt to these shifts, but to shape them responsibly and sustainably. Our purpose is clear: to lead the global conversation on how to manage the defining challenges of the future.
A new approach to management education
The world that today’s students will inherit is complex, interdisciplinary and globally connected. Our approach integrates cutting-edge research, innovative learning and deep engagement with organisations and policy makers. We are designing a Management School that equips people to navigate uncertainty, drive positive change and deliver meaningful societal impact.
