How can technology help people self-organise and build meaningful connections as the beating heart of Scotland’s global business community?

The Challenge
Instead of preparing people for a specific change, what if we created leaders who don’t just adapt to change but lead it. Today’s world moves so fast traditional education can’t keep pace and if we want Scotland in the vanguard we have to connect our leaders, in all sectors, to those at the forefront of change. Using technology, we can recycle the human capital and knowledge that exists in and out of Scotland to mentor, advise and support the best of Scotland’s leadership community, equipping them with the skills, attributes and burning passion to deliver for their organisation and for Scotland.
So, how can technology help people self-organise and build meaningful connections as the beating heart of Scotland’s global business community?
