Educational institution
The Forward Institute was set up by a coalition of major organisations to help our next generation of leaders meet the demands facing business and society in the 21st century. We have a particular focus on exploring the challenges and practices of responsible leadership. We run a unique 18-month programme. Each year, we work with more than 20 major organisations to select a diverse cohort of 65 emerging leaders, drawn from the public, private and social sectors. Together, our Fellows participate in a series of residentials, field visits and discovery sessions designed to broaden their perspectives, explore their values and hone their leadership. It is easy to agree we need more responsible leadership; harder to define and enact it. We don’t have all the answers, but we do have a set of principles and corresponding practices that guide our work and the approach we take. OUR VALUES - Value diversity - Care more - Think for the long term - Be honest - Be brave OUR PRACTICES - Observe and listen - Work generously - Reflect more - Take action Our goal is to build a cohort equipped to navigate the complex challenges and opportunities we face. A cohort committed to finding a better way of doing business. We're proud to be a certified B Corp and an accredited Living Wage Employer.
