Look up, look out, look in

Look up, look out, look in – raise your perspectives, take in the world around you, and expand your leadership. Leading in a dynamic world shaped by significant issues like sustainability, AI, economic trends, and geopolitics demands both clear-sightedness and new knowledge. The Novare Executive Program offers exactly that. It’s a valuable investment for senior executives where you build a strong business network and gain access to experience-sharing with prominent leaders. We help you navigate the path forward to develop both your business and your personal leadership. We don’t just look up – we head north. To northern Sweden, where we’ll experience firsthand the green transition transforming the region and creating new opportunities for the future.

 

Strategic Leadership Essentials

In the Novare Executive Program, we address strategic leadership topics with an international perspective and a focus on sustainability. We also turn inward, working on self-leadership and strengths as leaders. The program provides participants with new knowledge and sustainable perspectives on global trends, business strategy, change, and leadership.

 

Program Design & Start Dates

The Novare Executive Program consists of four interactive modules over seven months. Three modules, lasting 2–3 days each, take place in Stockholm, along with a trip to northern Sweden to study the sustainable, innovative transformation underway in the region. The program starts twice a year, with upcoming sessions beginning in February 2025 and September 2025. After completing the program, participants become members of the Novare Alumni Network.
