  1. Global Leadersfor a Better Tomorrow A Unique Outward Bound International Program To Foster Cross-Border Understanding, Compassion and Collaboration Among Emerging Leaders.

  2. “.. while the world is being globalized, shrunk and tied together ever more closely in technological terms, this has not been accompanied by a better understanding between cultures, countries and civilizations. There is a mismatch.” Thomas Friedman New York Times

  3. “The question often posed by developing countries is, why can't a homogenous global culture incorporate all cultures and not only push for the western way of social, cultural and economic lives. Is it not necessary for fostering greater understanding to acknowledge and embrace the diversities of the world we live in?” Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia

  4. Effective Leaders with global perspectives are increasingly needed in all sectors as the world becomes increasingly closer.

  5. Outward Bound International has been a leader in fostering global understanding and collaboration for the past 65 years. In 2005, over 200,000 individuals and over 150 corporations, governments, NGO’s and international organizations experienced Outward Bound in one of over200 schools in 32 countries.

  6. What if today’s world leaders had first met on an Outward Bound expedition?

  7. What if the next generation of leaders first met on an Outward Bound expedition?

  8. Global Leaders for a Better Tomorrow Program Concept Selected emerging leaders representing the world’s socio-economic, political, ethnic, religious and cultural diversity… Overcoming wilderness challenges together on… A powerful experiential expeditionary program with… A unique leadership curriculum

  9. … Resulting in a network of leaders who possess • an appreciation of international human diversity, • increased ability to collaborate and resolve issues and • a sense of responsibility to provide service to all world citizens.

  10. Participant Selection Criteria • Participants will be the next generation of leaders who are now emerging and will likely have to “cross borders” in their future leadership work. • Age range will generally be 30’s through 40’s • Participants will have significant accomplishments already in their chosen field e.g. business, government, education, social service, etc. • The group will represent a global constituency – geography, race, religion, gender, politics. • Participants will often come from pairs of countries that have issues or in pairs from a country within which significant issues exist.

  11. Phase 1: 2006 Pilot Programs • Three pilot programs are planned for 2006. • Each program will include a remarkable group of 20 emerging leaders from around the world will come together to: • Learn practical tools from thought leaders on “leading beyond borders” • Engage with local leadership in meaningful exchange • Demonstrate the possibilities of a very diverse international team by overcoming wilderness challenges. • The first pilot program with be an expedition summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Subsequent programs will originate from Hong Kong and Singapore. • Each program will by covered by the international media (broadcast / print), live internet and a documentary film is being made on Kilimanjaro.

  15. How to Support Global Leaders for a Better Tomorrow

  16. Outward Bound is a non-profit 501-3c organization. This program depends entirely on funding from supporting organizations in order to achieve its goals. We are seeking a small number of organizations to share the vision and fund the program. There are four principal ways to help fund the program: • Program Underwriting by philanthropic organizations • Corporate Cause- Related Sponsorship • Individual Scholarships • Tailored Programs for Organizations or Corporations

  17. 1. Program Underwriting by Philanthropic Organizations • Initial program development and a portion of the first pilot program has been donated by the A. K. Watson Foundation. • Partial or full underwriting opportunities are available for the Kilimanjaro, China, USA and Singapore pilot programs as well as the program rollout around the world. • Full identification of underwriting organizations will be provided in all PR and communications worldwide.

  18. 2. Corporate Cause-Related Sponsorship • This program is a classic cause-related marketing opportunity for enlightened corporations who wish to identify with important global issues in a meaningful manner. • We seek a small number of corporations to participate in sponsoring the pilot and rollout phases of the program. • Full identification in all PR and communications would be provided in all channels worldwide. • Sponsoring corporations would be allowed use of Outward Bound brand and program to market their sponsorship.

  19. 3. Individual Scholarships • Any organization or corporation may wish to sponsor individuals to participate in the program. • These individuals must satisfy the program requirements and can come from the program applicant pool or the sponsoring organization.

  20. 4. Tailored Programs for Organizations or Corporations • An organization or corporation may wish to sponsor their own Global Leaders Program with their own people. • In this case, Outward Bound would tailor the program to meet specific needs, within the framework of the program’s goals and curriculum.
