What is a Global
Learning Expedition(sm)?


WDHB approach

Destinations:
all 5 continents




 




Global Learning Expeditions(sm) are Learning Expeditions organized, either in parallel or in succession, in North America, Asia and Europe for future leaders and high-potential managers of international companies.




In a context of globalization, where change is the only constant, the modern company has a growing need for global leaders, true agents of change who can ensure the successful implementation of new strategies on a global scale. The training and professional grooming of international executives is thus becoming an increasingly strategic issue.

Furthermore, as an ever-greater number of executives retire, companies will be faced with a true "talent deficit." The need to groom high-potential managers will accelerate as companies prepare for the succession of executives from the "baby boomer" generation. The new generation of leaders must acquire the following competencies, among others:

  • A global mindset with sensitivity to intercultural issues
  • Field knowledge and knowledge of customers and the customer relationship, as well as sales and marketing concepts
  • Innovation and creativity
  • An entrepreneurial spirit
  • Integration of new technologies
  • An mind open to new trends/emerging concepts
  • Leadership; change, crisis and risk management
  • Common culture, values, shared vision
  • Networking, group cohesiveness

Global Learning Expeditions(sm) are ideal for programs aimed at high-potential managers and are custom developed according to the objectives of the client company.



Are to help international companies:

  • Prepare for succession and win the "talent war"
  • Align management training and development with corporate strategy
  • Develop the competencies needed by tomorrow's leaders (see above list)
  • Increase the loyalty of "talent" and capitalize on their experience
  • Weave a social network within the company

In sum: create value for employees that in turn creates a real competitive advantage for the company.
