Welcome to
ASIA PACIFIC CENTRE FOR LEADERSHIPFOR SOCIAL IMPACT | |
The Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership for Social Impact enables the School to concentrate our efforts on sponsoring greater innovation in leadership program development and delivery, and creating access to significant leadership development opportunities across the community, not for profit, government and business sectors.
The Centre is a strong vehicle for acting on our recognition at Melbourne Business School that we have a significant contribution to make to the development of civil society through our core educational and research offerings in leadership.
As part of our focus on sustainability, the Centre recently hosted a presentation by visiting expert Dr Paul Tebo on ‘Sustainable Business Growth'. This event was well received at the School by a group of 35 business executives, Alumni and students. Please read more.
The Centre was officially launched on Wednesday 27th August, by His Excellency, Mr Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense and Security of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. The Prime Minister discussed the importance of education to the development of the Timor-Leste nation. While he himself had not had the opportunity to attend University, his goal was that the current generation of young people would have that opportunity. The School announced three scholarships to be provided to assist Timor-Leste build leadership and management capability. Read more about the launch,view the webcast or photos of the launch. |  |
I am delighted to announce that the Centre has commenced a partnership with the Sustainable Enterprise Academy at Schulich School of Business, Toronto, Canada. The Sustainable Enterprise Academy is a global leader in sustainability education, and one of the longest established and best resourced business and sustainability initiatives worldwide. The Aspen Institute's Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranks Schulich School of Business number three MBA in the world for its focus on social responsibility. This partnership will contribute great strength to the Centre's focus on sustainability. In July 2009 we will deliver the Business Leader Seminar .
The Centre embodies our desire to contribute tangibly and intangibly to our broader community and constituents by working across all sectors and by engaging our alumni and business partners in our activities in new ways. The Centre builds on our existing leadership strength across the School. It contributes to our existing program portfolio (see our MBA program and our Executive Education leadership programs) and provides a focal point for increasing the capability of our talented faculty.
