Executive Education

Our executive education program brings together the thinkers and doers to identify, understand and creatively respond to the major challenges facing leaders and organisations in sustainable development.

Our program varies from half-day workshops to long-term partnerships around a specific agenda, with content that covers detailed technical training, exploratory visioning, strategic agenda setting and leadership development.

Our core strength is our genuine interdisciplinary approach to the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainable development, as reflected by the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

For Monash University staff

As part of the Continuing Education Excellence Development (CEED) at Monash University, we run a module for university staff called 'Enhancing Learning Using Sustainability' that explores sustainability and examines its relationship to contemporary university academic practice.

Particular attention is given to how sustainability can be used in teaching and learning, which includes consideration of its impact on curriculum development. Participants will read and analyse two papers related to sustainability education; plus prepare a brief action plan that outlines ideas for addressing sustainability in a unit they teach.

On successful completion of this module, participants will be able to:

  • Characterise different perspectives on sustainability and differentiate the relevance of sustainability to different disciplines and global citizenship;
  • Critique the relationship between sustainability and education;
  • Explain the relevance of sustainability in higher education practice, including its implications for curriculum development;
  • Articulate and plan an approach for enhancing teaching and learning through sustainability
