Looking toward 2030 and beyond
After twenty years of inquiry, we are not winding down. We are asking: how can the next decade be even more generative? How do we scale the inquiry itself?
"We commit to ensuring that by 2030, the question of global responsibility is embedded in leadership education worldwide—not as an add-on, but as the central organizing principle."
This is ambitious. It requires not growth of GRLI, but growth of the inquiry across every institution, network, and conversation we can reach.
Strategic priorities
While we resist rigid strategic plans, we hold clear priorities that guide our attention and resource allocation.
Deepening the Deans Network
Expanding peer learning among business school leaders committed to transformation, with regional cohorts in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Scaling Sustainability Literacy
Working with Sulitest to embed sustainability assessment across more institutions and create new specialized modules.
AI & Responsible Leadership
Launching a new Innovation Circle exploring how AI reshapes leadership responsibilities and education requirements.
Regenerative Business Models
Developing case studies and teaching resources on businesses that create net-positive impact.
Intergenerational Dialogue
Creating structured conversations between established leaders and emerging voices on the future of responsible leadership.
Evolution, not growth
GRLI will not become a large institution. That is by design. Our power lies in being small, nimble, and catalytic—able to move quickly, convene authentically, and catalyze without accumulating.
What will grow is the inquiry itself: more institutions holding the question, more educators embedding it in their practice, more leaders orienting their work toward global responsibility.
Our success is measured not by GRLI's size, but by the extent to which our central question becomes embedded in the DNA of leadership education worldwide.
Number of institutions where the inquiry is embedded in core curricula
Quality and depth of dialogue across our ecosystem
New initiatives catalyzed and successfully stewarded to independence
Diversity of voices actively engaged in the inquiry
Impact of ecosystem partners on policy and practice
The future is not predetermined
What happens next depends on who steps into the inquiry, what questions they bring, and how we learn together. We cannot predict where this leads—we can only commit to holding the space with care.
