Twelve months. Seven countries. Nine institutions. Fifteen people inside the world that runs the world

Questions worth asking first

A twelve-month residential programme for senior professionals and next-generation business leaders. It places participants inside the institutions that shape world affairs across six global cities and nine partner organisations.

Business family successors, family office principals, senior operating executives, founders scaling internationally and those at a career pivot that requires a broader global perspective.

The programme accepts fifteen participants per cohort. Admission is by application and conversation. There is no standardised test. Selection is based on professional standing, readiness and intent.

The first cohort is a deliberate beginning. Fifteen leaders who will shape the culture and network of the programme from its first year. Founding cohort members carry that distinction for the lifetime of the institution.

Four phases: India foundations, East, India applied, and the West. Mornings are academic. Afternoons are applied: site visits, case work and closed-door sessions with practitioners.

Fees are available on request. The programme is priced for those it is designed for.

The founding cohort begins in early 2027. Applications are open now.
