Diary from IMD
I am at IMD, a leading business school based in Lausanne, Switzerland participating in the CGIAR Senior leadership course. There are about 35 of us, coming from over 20 countries, not all from the CGIAR centers, a number of national partners are here too. It is a great gathering of interesting people. We are following a course on leadership in change. Given the CGIAR reform process the course is very timely. I will write a few notes from the course, notes that I hope my colleagues will find interesting….little nuggets of wisdom (if you wonder what wisdom is…keep reading as the subject of wisdom, culture, cult….. will be explained in one of my posts…) that I would like to share with you. So keep reading….the tag is CGIAR Senior leadership 09

I am glad you are attending the CG senior managers course. I was a participant in this course when it commenced in early 2008 after a long gap. IRRI was the co-organizer in a spot near Bangkok. The group named itself The First Class.
It’s good to see that the CGIAR is investing in change leadership. IMD is a great institution and I hope the learning leads to lots of positive impact!
Definitely inspirational days in Lausanne! Indeed it is great that the CGIAR is giving an opportunity to its senior staff to learn how to navigate through these challenging times of change.
Balaji this is a different course. This is a senior leadership course, the same that used to be held at Harvard Business School and was moved 3 years back to IMD, as participants found IMD was better positioned to offer a more tailored course. I was scheduled to participate in the Bangkok one but could not at the last minute. Hope you enjoyed it!
