The program will essentially conclude with an internal search process vis a vis the emerging challenges of the planet - ecological, energy and equity and help the participants explore how technological, scientific, and organization prowess of our times could be harnessed to evolve a personal and/or a group agenda. In turn participants will be expected to develop a personal development map to unleash his/her inner leadership qualities.
