LinKS@Wharton ProgramsIn LinKS, we set top executives from private and public sectors in learning mode through knowledge expeditions to the world's leading business schools. LinKS Academia is: - Executive Leadership Programs focusing on strategic business development and addressing the alluring strategic leadership challenges for leaders in both private and public sectors
- Uniquely designed programs matching the challenges of the participant team. Participation by personal reference & invitation only
The World’s leading business schools, thought leaders and knowledge providers are LinKS’ sparring in the design process and execution of the programs. Our first knowledge partner was Europe’s leading business school, INSEAD, in France. In 2002, LinKS formed a knowledge partnership with the world’s leading business school - The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, U.S. The executive programs are followed by strategic advice on business development using innovative methods and top advisors from LinKS and the LinKS community. Founded in 1999, more than 800 top executive members have attended our Academia programs at INSEAD and The Wharton School. These top executives represent the LinKS community together with our connections to more than 100 global thought leaders and visionaries. The community gathers regularly at LinKS events.
LinKS Executive CoachingThe purpose of LinKS Executive Coaching is to support, release and align the potential in top executives in order to realize challenges and visions that make a difference. LinKS Executive Coaching supports the LinKS network members to optimize their business performance through a trusted and ambitious dialogue. Responsible LinKS Associate: Ulrik Schiøtz
LinKS CommunityWhen you attend a LinKS executive program, you become a member of the LinKS Alumni Community – a link into the hundreds of leading executives. We are very careful about the values of this network and how we co-create collective value. We only meet when there is a great opportunity and we move the connections fast if you need to solve a challenge. The member activity varies individually and within periods in your life. The membership is personal and follows you across organizations. The network is a natural part of the executive programs and LinKS projects in general. You will be involved according to your ambitions and wishes. We welcome you!
LinKS ReunionsLinKS Reunions are the occasions for gathering the LinKS Alumni community around real-time strategic agendas on global, political and business related shifts that are happening right now in the world. Together with specially invited guests from across the world, we work with our relation capital. The atmosphere is intimate; the number of participants limited; and the clue is that no participant leaves the reunion without being challenged on his or her mental model. We meet in two kinds of settings: - Local Reunions – Co-creation of new ambitious agendas
- Global Reunions – Global capacities emphasize different agendas
LinKS Board Olympics on October 3, 2008, was an example of local co-creation where the LinKS network and guests set a new, ambitious agenda of strategic necessity and global opportunity. Next LinKS Reunion will be of the global kind where global knowledge providers contribute to setting an agenda in the LinKS community, as for last reunions with C.K. Prahalad, Shaikha al Maskari and Robyn Meredith, Forbes, respectively.
