Another fascinating week in #Japan! Our inaugural UC Berkeley Executive Education #Innovation #Boot #Camp in #Tokyo in #collaboration with Sophia University exceeded all expectations. We got to work with dynamic executives from leading companies across industries, who are clearly ready to #ignite a new wave of #disruptive innovation that will bring Japanese firms back to the limelight. With their inherent strengths in #AI, #robotics, #greentech, #manufacturing, #design, and more,  Japanese firms are poised to shape all the #technology sectors that are at the #forefront today. Teaching with Homa Bahrami and Naohiro Nishiguchi was inspiring, as we tried to empower the group to be #bold in their #vision and #execution as catalysts for #strategic and #organizational #transformation in a new era. I also loved spending time with my #BEE colleagues Michael Rielly, Ellen Trader, Carolyn Robertson, and Fuzuki Kato, with whom I got to work on delivering the program, but also meeting exciting companies as we expand the #BerkeleyHaas presence in Japan.  Thanks also to the entire #Sophia team for their #partnership, from President Yoshiaki Terumichi and Vice President Takashi Irohara, to Kawase Takashi and Aika Kaneko, and all the other staff. Their #dedication was instrumental in making this new joint program such a success, and allowed us to take #UCBerkeley's engagement in Japan to the next level. I can’t wait to return!

Data Science for Leaders teaches leaders how to merge core business principles with cutting-edge data science methods. Aamir Bharmal, Chief Medical Officer at WorkSafeBC, attended the course and offered the following insights: "We face similar issues across industries: Data science teams have proliferated across different industries but haven't necessarily been optimally linked to inform core business processes yet. To mobilize data better, we need to change our approach from data-driven to data-informed. Often, the approach is to take data that's conveniently on hand or historically collected to inform analyses and produce strategies. However, this approach doesn't necessarily align with answering the problems organizations face today." Berkeley Executive Education’s Data Science for Leaders program is taught by University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business faculty Jonathan Kolstad, Conrad Miller and Matthew Grennan.

This fall marked the conclusion of a year-long Spanish-speaking senior management and innovation program I had the privilege of managing: Alta Dirección e Innovación (ADI). This program brought together accomplished leaders from all across Latin America to explore critical leadership topics and foster cross-cultural collaboration. Seeing participants engage deeply, share diverse perspectives, and grow as leaders was incredibly rewarding. Programs like this underscore the importance of creating spaces where leaders can connect, learn, and challenge each other in meaningful ways. I’m grateful for such an intimately sized cohort that allowed us special experiences like having dinner all at one table, cracking jokes with one another (including about my terrible attempt at speaking Spanish), and meeting each others’ loved ones to celebrate at the end! We had a great partner in the Latin American team of Emeritus, as well as a huge showing of my UC Berkeley Executive Education colleagues across our different departments of marketing, design, and delivery throughout the year. I’ll certainly miss this program but look forward to keeping the connections made, as well as an excuse to visit more countries! #ExecutiveEducation #Berkeley #SeniorManagement #Innovation #LeadershipDevelopment #LatinAmerica #CrossCulturalCollaboration
