future-proof your career
Technology creates a continuously changing workplace. With routine tasks shifting away from human hands, it’s important to focus on the creative, innovative traits that only humans can harness.
The program will help you gain mastery in five attributes to become a transformative thinker and doer:
1. Intellectual Curiosity
Develop the desire to dig deep, be creative, experiment, and take risks in order to learn.
2. Integrative Thinking
See the big picture, think holistically, recognize patterns, and make imaginative leaps based on those patterns.
3. Intercultural Competence
Understand cultural differences to help you think, act, and move beyond global, cultural, and organizational boundaries.
4. Adaptability
Be flexible, agile when handling change, resilient in ambiguous situations, and able to see beyond black and white to find unexpected solutions.
5. Empathy
Demonstrate effective listening, collaboration, and communication skills, and be humble enough to be inclusive and considerate of others’ views.
