Purpose at Work

Business at Meridian

In order to be prepared for engaging the unprecedented complexities emerging in the world today, the profession of business requires new vision and new perspectives that change the way we see the world to bring about a flourishing future. To follow this call to Creative Enterprise requires the development of our individual and collective complexity capabilities, for example the capabilities of self-awareness, collaboration, dialogue, negotiation, and co-creation. These capabilities are critical for the success of entrepreneurs, organizational leaders, and managers in this age of technical, social, and dynamic complexity. In realizing ourselves as a whole person, we can begin to see a world comprised of whole systems. Your inner call to have a generative impact on the world as an entrepreneur, manager, and executive can be enabled by the capabilities you will develop through the MBA in Creative Enterprise.
