Advances in educational methods, applied to leader development

It is thanks to its pioneering and 'journey' type of approach in grooming leaders and leader-educators, that our leadership school is sometimes 'coined' as a forerunner in its field. To some extent our institution owes its knack for innovation to the inspiring ancestor academy founded more than twelve hundred years ago. The ancient school set the stage for leadership renewal, albeit with the goals, the scope, and the means that corresponded with its own timeframe. Its leadership legacy is embedded into our school's aim: to address the leadership challenges of our 21st century's society and civilisation.

The THIERRY internet-based courses are based on a very effective methodology in e-coached internet-based distance learning. The online-version of our Master of Arts in Leadership curriculum, called "Hercules", was launched in 2002. It was the very first online leadership curriculum leading to a degree, designed and offered by an institution of higher education based in the European Union. The Environmental ("Green") Leadership online graduate curriculum was the very first in the world. In 2004-2005 our curriculum leading to a PhD degree became the first European doctorate programme in the comprehensive and core field of study of leadership and change, with courses offered in a blended mode combining online courses, e-coaching, and two-week summer residencies.

Our educational methods meet the evolving needs of professionally active individuals who have the determination to combine work and personal life with study, and to learn more effective leadership by means of guided self-study. As a member of the online community of fellow-students each participant benefits from the continuous (e-)coaching and mentoring support by our top-level e-leadership faculty.

The nautilos, a special screen-navigator designed specifically for online leadership learning and development, is used exclusively in our programmes. It was created by our Graduate School's staff and is based on a design technique that functions with the standard software found on all computers around the world.
