In the Leadership Discovery Process, you will challenge your perspectives and develop your abilities through a series of stimulating exercises and activities.
Take a journey of personal and professional development and explore what effective leadership really looks like. The Leadership Discovery Process, or LDP for short, runs alongside the other modules you will study throughout your MBA.
As participants graduate the MBA, this is another fulfilling aspect of the programme that they take with them well into their careers and personal lives.
“I learned a lot about how I respond to stressful situations as well as how you can maintain the leadership mindset even when you're under pressure. When you strip away all the softness of the classroom and the theoretical aspect to it, it’s a test of how you actually implement the leadership skills you’ve picked up.”
Alistair Edwards
Associate Global Portfolio Director at Novo Nordisk, Australian, Class of 2020

Delve into the transformative realm of the Copenhagen MBA's Leadership Discovery Process with our webinar playback in collaboration with BusinessBecause.
Effective leadership demands self-awareness and empathy and the Leadership Discovery Process will help you to develop an in-depth understanding of yourself and your true leadership style. You will explore topics such as cognitive coaching, the functioning of the brain, team dynamics, situational leadership and human understanding, and you will be guided to solve specific tasks and reflexive exercises both individually and in teams. The LDP is conducted and overseen by an external consulting firm that specialises in leadership training on a global scale and elevates the renowned Scandinavian leadership style.
The focal point of the LDP is a multi-day leadership simulator, conducted offsite, that will give you the opportunity to approach leadership from a 'learning by doing' perspective. Through a series of outdoor activities you will take turns to perform as a leader, receiving feedback from your peers and coaches on how you perform in subjects ranging from teamwork and communication to interpersonal and leadership skills.
Supporting the LDP, our personalised mentorship programme allows you to discuss practical leadership issues with executives working in Scandinavian firms, enabling you to transfer the theory you have learned into practice. Having access to practitioners who will teach and guide you through real-life management challenges, is an aspect of the programme many MBA students find extremely helpful. The skills you will develop, the advice you will receive, and the insight you will gain will bring value for years to come.
Implement Consulting Group leads the Leadership Discovery Process. They help create organisations that are fit for humans and fit for the future. They specialise in enhancing and transforming participants leadership abilities through various leadership simulators throughout the year.
"Change is unavoidable, but as humans we have a natural resistance toward it. And although it may be difficult, you can either change with the times, or be changed by them." - Implement Consulting Group

“I discovered many elements of how I am as a person and as a professional. I realised how I had been operating – and in order to improve, where I need the most amount of effort. I can certainly say the Leadership Discovery Process has been one of the most challenging journeys I have undertaken. It has been life-changing.”
