Welcome to Thriving in a Changing World (TCW)

Thriving in a Changing World: Global Trends, Local Impact is a five-module mini-certification for advisors and family business members. Learn to read global signals, catalyze impact entrepreneurship, build high-trust people & culture systems (inclusion, belonging & performance), embed sustainability, and rethink profit as a force for good. Through a guided live-case project, you will apply the tools to a real enterprise and depart with a focused Strategic Action Brief.
