Leaders today need to manage people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. And they need to understand how their businesses impact on the communities in which they operate.

Cohort 9 of the Global Executive MBA have arrived in Bangalore, India.

Their task? Identify an issue impacting the community and navigate the cultural landscape of entrepreneurial activity to create a sustainable Social Enterprise to pitch to local VCs.

This is true experiential learning in action.

Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense. Cohort 8 of the Global Executive MBA are at NAB in London. Dr Jules Goddard of London Business School argues that the application of uncommon sense - thinking or acting differently from other organisations in a way that makes unusual sense - is the secret to competitive success.

This week our students are based at Cambridge University's Judge Business School, working with NAB on strategic issues, exploring disruptive technologies, fintechs and resultant new business models.

The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry once again highlights how susceptible our large institutions can be to ethical failures of leadership.

Today cohort 9 of the Global Executive MBA heard from Dennis Gentilin, founder of Human Systems Advisory and author of 'The Origins of Ethical Failures: Lessons for Leaders'.

He contends that:
- unethical behaviour can occur, despite the presence of robust governance and compliance frameworks
- explanations for unethical behaviour are not straightforward – reasons for unethical conduct are multi-layered and complex
- we are all susceptible to unethical conduct, regardless of how scrupulous our characters may be, and
- leaders play a central role in developing cultures that are more resistant to ethical failures, and cultures that are better equipped to deal with the fall out of unethical behaviour when it occurs.

For the past 2 weeks Cohort 9 of the Global Executive MBA have used the beef industry as a vehicle for learning about how to manage a connected enterprise. They've tackled pressing strategic issues for one of Australia's largest beef producers - and they've done so on the ground, not just in the classroom. Quite literally from the paddock to the plate, exposure to the entire supply chain has focused their learning. All while having a truly unique and memorable experience.
