As it enters its fifth year, the ground-breaking One Planet MBA has had a facelift and now aims to be even more distinctive than ever. Complete with a new visual identity and reflective strapline “Change. For good.” the programme has several enhancements for the new academic year.

To ensure the One Planet MBA retains its uniqueness and relevance in a fast changing landscape, our 2015/16 Full Time and Executive programmes will benefit from curriculum enhancements through new modules, masterclasses and an innovative approach to personal development.

New MBA modules include Business Model Innovation and Emerging Business Models, such as those brought about by the collaborative/sharing economy, the circular economy and the “on demand” economy; Personal Transformations, a holistic approach to personal development; Igniting Change in Business and Generating Insights through Data Analytics. Meanwhile, new Masterclasses will help participants leverage opportunities in the circular economy, the digital economy and in social entrepreneurship.

Prof Nicolas Forsans, Director of the MBA said: “This programme is not only unique to the South West but across the UK. We want to raise awareness and attract local people to take advantage of the opportunities which are right on their doorstep.”

Created in collaboration with WWF International, over the years the programme has successfully attracted participants wishing to become agents of change as they develop into senior positions in their current organisation or embark on a new career direction.

The 2015/16 One Planet MBA programme is specifically targeted at aspiring business leaders wishing to transform themselves and their organisation, and thrive in a world of disruption brought about by significant social, economic, environmental and technological challenges. Through an MBA curriculum that revolves around innovative business thinking and the promotion of an entrepreneurial and analytical mind-set, we will equip our MBA participants with the tools and the frameworks to develop innovative business models.
