The Keynes Centre at UCC
Description
We are Ireland’s focal point for personal professional transformation and organisational development through the unique Transformative Thinking approach.
We are a business research facility which provides integrated personal and professional development programmes for senior executives and aspiring executives who want more than conventional information-downloading programmes.
The Centre has an experienced international team of academic and business practitioners who will help individuals and organisations become more effective in leadership for growth, competitiveness, management, and relationships through the unique Transformative Thinking approach.
Led by Professor Connell Fanning, Head of UCC’s School of Economics, this approach was developed and successfully applied in UCC’s Executive MBA and DBA programmes for business practitioners for many years and to wide acclaim.
The Centre’s team is now bringing this approach to practitioners in the business, state and social sectors through co-designed and tailor-made Development Programmes including Special Events, Book Club, Multimedia Resources, and Practitioner-oriented Research.
