The Challenge

Our world is growing in complexity at an un-

precedented pace. As organizations are con-

stantly challenged to develop new business

opportunities by quickly adapting to unfami-

liar markets and conditions, the process of

developing effective leaders is a paramount.

In an interrelated world, the next generation

of leaders is required to exhibit high levels

of responsibility for themselves and others

while simultaneously integrating value and

meaning into their professional lives.

To help organisations and individuals

address this challenge, BOOKBRIDGE and

its partners take an exceptional approach to

shape the next generation of leaders.

Program Key Features

This six-month part-time program is

designed for young professionals as well as

experienced managers who strive to…

• stretch their business and leadership capabilities by immersing themselves in their own entrepreneurial venture.

• reflect upon their experiences and originate innovative approaches to complex situations.

• integrate sustainability in their leadership practices and apply it to their business.

Candidates create tangible business outco-

mes by being asked to translate their new

vision of sustainability into their very own

social business venture.

The Program

The Capability Program develops your

business and leadership skills through

experiential learning. Two professional

coaches teach and mentor you on cutting-

edge business and leadership skills in an

open workshop setting. You directly apply

the learnings as an entrepreneur, making

a difference in Cambodia, one of Asia's

fastest-growing economies.

With international counterparts, you will

conceptualize, setup and monitor their

own community-based learning center as

a social business. Your personal learning

journey will teach you how to create and

implement a business plan from scratch,

how to deal with uncertainty and unfami-

liar markets as well as how to work in a

cross-cultural virtual team.

The BOOKBRIDGE Team along with two

professional business and leadership

coaches equip you with the know-how and

management competencies to become a

next-generation leader.
