Harvard’s Advanced Leadership program is a platform for innovation. Their tag line is “Lead again, for good”. Fellowships are offered for those entering the second or third career phase of their lives. These fellows are invited to explore real solutions to world problems. The CEO of a successful grocery chain came to start a foundation whose focus is to solve world hunger. A NASA scientist is enrolled trying to define future patterns of space travel. The design reflects these diverse, even challenging needs, with built in flexibility. Library lounges are transformed into lecture halls, café’s set the stage for chance encounters, promoting discussion, intimate or large scale conference rooms allow for the size of a group to fluctuate. Academic excellence is always required at the university. Here that requirement is turned up a notch.
