“Changing World, Leading Change” with Pasha Holding

December 2, 2025 at IE Business School, Madrid, Spain (invitation)

Incredible technologies and geopolitical shifts, complex markets and stagnating growth, demanding customers and disruptive entrepreneurs, environmental crisis and social distrust, unexpected shocks and uncertain futures.

How do you make sense of today’s rapidly changing world? How will you succeed in tomorrow’s world?

We live in an age of extraordinary acceleration. Technologies evolve faster than companies can adapt. Markets shift as new generations, new economies, and new expectations reshape what matters. The world is more connected, more complex, and more unpredictable than ever — and yet, never more full of possibility.

This senior executive workshop is designed for leaders who want to rise above disruption and actively shape what comes next. It’s a fast-paced, thought-provoking, and deeply practical exploration of the forces redefining business — and the mindsets, strategies, and leadership needed to thrive in them.

Across four sessions, we move from global foresight to strategic reinvention, from technological innovation to the human dimensions of leadership in an AI-empowered age. The journey is about seeing differently, thinking systemically, and leading boldly — turning change into opportunity, and vision into reality.

Session 1: Future Megatrends

The future doesn’t arrive all at once; it unfolds through powerful, interconnected forces. This session explores the six dramatic forces shaping every market today — and how they intersect to redefine the context in which Pasha Holding and its businesses will grow.

Exponential Intelligence — AI is redefining how we create, decide, and compete. It enables adaptive organisations, predictive insight, and intelligent automation — but its true value lies in augmenting human creativity and foresight.
Ageing World — Populations are ageing in the West and surging in Africa and Asia. 68% of people will live in cities by 2050, demanding smarter infrastructures, affordable housing, sustainable transport, and inclusive growth.
The Asian Century — Asia now drives over half of global GDP growth. Economic power, innovation, and cultural influence are shifting east, requiring businesses everywhere to think more globally and act more locally.
Regenerative Systems — Climate change, biodiversity loss, and circularity are no longer side issues — they are the core of competitiveness. The next economy is regenerative, where business models restore rather than exploit natural and social systems.
Multipolar Powers — The geopolitical and economic order is becoming fragmented. New regional powers, supply chain realignments, and digital sovereignty create both volatility and opportunity.
Humanity Rising — Amid all the data and disruption, people remain at the heart of progress. Purpose, trust, empathy, and inclusion define resilient organisations and meaningful growth.

Why it matters: Disruption accelerates; reinvention beats optimisation. Businesses that merely adapt incrementally will be left behind by those that reinvent continuously.

Mindset shifts: This new world demands long-term vision and near-term agility — thinking in systems, experimenting proactively, and learning continuously.

Leadership actions: Leaders will practise horizon scanning and scenario planning to imagine alternative futures; define transformation driven by purpose, not fear; and learn how to build human–machine partnerships that enhance insight and innovation.

By the end of this session, participants will see the world through a new lens — understanding not just what is changing, but why, and what it means for how they lead.

Session 2: Dynamic Strategy

Traditional strategy is broken. It assumes stability, prediction, and linear growth — none of which exist anymore. The businesses that succeed in a world of relentless change are those that make strategy a living process, continuously sensing, adapting, and reinventing.

In this session, we explore how to develop dynamic strategy: how to stay relevant, resilient, and regenerative in an age of constant disruption.

We examine Industry Reinvention Playbooks — from banking to construction, from energy and entertainment to retail and travel — uncovering how leading organisations are rewriting their sectors’ rules.

In banking, DBS in Singapore turned digital disruption into opportunity by rethinking itself as a technology company with a banking licence.
In construction, modular and circular design are transforming productivity and sustainability.
In energy, companies like Ørsted and Schneider Electric are building the net-zero economy through smart, decentralised systems.
In retail, Nike and On Running are merging digital data and physical experience to create communities, not just stores.
In entertainment and travel, platforms like Netflix and Airbnb show how to continuously reinvent customer experience and value creation.

Leaders will learn to anticipate trends in their own industries through trend mapping, future scenario modelling, and pilot design. They will explore ecosystem thinking — how to partner across boundaries to create shared value — and new metrics for transformation, beyond profit alone.

The message is clear: strategy is no longer a plan; it’s a platform for constant reinvention.

Session 3: Innovative Possibilities

Innovation is no longer a department or a process; it is the mindset of the modern organisation. This session explores how to harness the power of new technologies and ideas to solve problems in new ways — creating better solutions, faster, and at scale.

At the heart of this transformation lies AI as a strategic capability — not a technical project for the CTO, but a driver of new business models and trillion-dollar value creation.

AI enables adaptive strategy: forecasting markets, simulating scenarios, personalising products, optimising supply chains, and co-creating with customers. It enables rapid experimentation and learning — the foundation of continuous innovation.

We explore how businesses are using technology for purposeful innovation:

How Microsoft uses AI to make productivity more human.
How Unilever applies data to design sustainable supply systems.
How Adidas uses 3D printing and digital twins for hyper-personalised design.
How Climeworks and Tesla are turning planetary challenges into business opportunities.

Leaders will learn how to identify innovation opportunities that align with purpose, design new business models, and drive innovation through networks rather than hierarchies.

Innovation is not about inventing more, but imagining better — and executing faster.

Session 4: Performer Transformers

The final session turns the focus inward: leadership itself must be reinvented for the age of AI, ecosystems, and exponential change.

The new leader is both performer and transformer — delivering results today while building capabilities for tomorrow.

AI-enabled leadership is redefining what it means to lead. It replaces command-and-control with orchestration. Leaders blend human intuition and creativity with machine intelligence to make faster, smarter, and fairer decisions. They empower teams to self-organise, connect across silos, and innovate continuously.

Dynamic, data-driven strategy replaces static planning. Real-time insight replaces rigid control. Empowered, networked teams — augmented by AI tools and creative intelligence — become engines of progress.

The new mindset of leadership values curiosity over control, experimentation over prediction, and learning over knowing. Future-ready leaders are explorers, not experts. They orchestrate intelligence — human and digital — to lead reinvention.

Participants will reflect on their own leadership style and design a personal roadmap for growth. Through interactive exercises and dialogue, they will develop the confidence, empathy, and foresight to guide their teams through uncertainty and opportunity alike.

From Insight to Impact

Each session builds from foresight to strategy, from innovation to leadership — empowering participants to connect the global and the local, the technological and the human.

By the end of the programme, leaders will have:

A deep understanding of the six megatrends reshaping their world.
A new approach to dynamic strategy — continuous, adaptive, and purpose-led.
Practical tools to innovate through AI, ecosystems, and customer insight.
A leadership mindset built on curiosity, courage, and collaboration.

Above all, they will be ready to lead the future — to transform their businesses, their industries, and themselves.

Because in an era of incredible change, the greatest advantage is not technology or scale, but imagination — the ability to see what could be, and the courage to make it real.
