What our participants say
OWP offers refreshing new ideas on key topics to apply in my business and leadership. I gained a good understanding of the important role that design can play in business as well as how mindfulness, selflessness and compassion are keys to modern leadership.
Our experience was all the more impactful, by joining as a team. OWP enabled us to work through different challenges together and digest the knowledge into key takeaways to disseminate across the sector.
IMD has great faculty who listen deeply to your needs and have tailored a program around this. As a family business and real estate developer, our main challenge is to understand the disruptions that will come out of this sector. OWP enabled us to assess future changes, see how to stay agile and use change to our advantage.
