“The major challenges we face — climatic, technological, geopolitical and social — do not respect disciplinary boundaries. (...)

A recent World Economic Forum (WEF) report on emerging technologies for a more prosperous planet is particularly enlightening. The solutions identified (...) are solutions that combine science, data, engineering, regulation, business models, ethics and social impact. The central point is not the technology itself, but the ability to integrate it into responsible and impactful strategic decision-making. (...)

It is in this context that, on 27 January, we will launch the Centre for Impact in Global Management (CIGMA) at Católica Porto Business School. The Centre is founded on the conviction that the quality of management — particularly at the highest level — will be one of the critical factors for the future of organisations and the economy.”
