Creative environment for creative leadership
IEDC-Bled School of Management is a pioneer in providing a “creative environment for creative leadership”, an innovative approach which encourages business leaders to take on new, and more creative ways in meeting their challenges. The school is driven by a vision that successful management is not only affected by one’s own company and the business world it is part of, but also by the society that surrounds it, and aims to promote ethical, socially responsible and creative leadership. Significant emphasis is put on exposing the participants to experiences from broader human activities and in particular arts, science and philosophy.
Art as inspiration for managers and leaders, and learning from other professions are special features of the IEDC approach. Not only does the school feature a contemporary art collection, but it regularly invites guest lecturers from society at large, including prominent creative and performance artists, sportsmen, leading politicians and philosophers, NGO representatives, as well as successful business people, to open up the mind to the importance of original and creative thinking, quality and communication.

Art inspires, enriches our feelings, opens new horizons, helps to explore relationships, teaches us to learn about ourselves, and helps us to become more responsible and creative leaders.
