Leading into the Future
Online panel discussion

About the event
The 2021-2030 “Decade to Deliver” on Sustainable Development Goals is also the most volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous decade in the history of contemporary international organizations. Are these organizations and their teams ready to deliver?
- What will success look like for IGOs in the different and rapidly changing reality? What will make them impactful and their results sustainable?
- What types of leadership are needed in the next decade for IGOs to create opportunities out of challenges they are faced with today?
- What can IGOs change and what they cannot, and how can they tell one from the other?
Join us in finding answers to these questions, together with our exceptional panelists, experienced in working with the United Nations, NATO, the Council of Europe and the OSCE.
This online event marks the launch of our "Reinventing Leadership in International Organizations" discussion series.
