Overview

New generations expect more from the companies they work for, buy from, invest in, and permit to operate in their communities. In response, businesses are broadening their value creation for a range of stakeholders and for their own competitive differentiation. The real job of a CEO, according to Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, is “To create that continuous balance between the multiple constituents” of the organization, yet “there was no preparation for it.” This reveals the need for real management science — a set of proven, research-based frameworks, approaches, skills and KPIs — to guide true multistakeholder leadership. The Certificate Program on CCO Leadership in Multistakeholder Value Creation, developed by Page and the Yale School of Management’s program on Stakeholder Innovation & Management (Y-SIM), is the first and only executive education program to provide just that. 

The program’s curriculum was developed by Y-SIM based on pioneering work led by Jon Iwata, former SVP and Chief Brand Officer at IBM and Executive Fellow at the Yale School of Management, and it is based on Y-SIM’s 100+ CEO/CXO interviews and Page’s own research and thinking, offers a methodical approach to practicing stakeholder capitalism. This includes original resources and case studies designed exclusively by the Y-SIM program — all the tools leaders need to apply the approach in their own organization.

Learn more about why Jon worked with Page and Yale to develop the program and why he believes Page and Page Up members should see this as an investment in themselves and their futures.

"The three main insights I am taking away from this program are:
- First, how to build a disciplined framework around responses to societal issues by aligning them with our purpose and values;
- Second, how to focus on a stakeholder-centric design by bringing in the constraints of multiple points of view in order to find the most optimal solution for all stakeholders involved, and;
- Finally, how to frame a problem and expand its definition to find solutions beyond the minutiae.

"Really grateful to this program because I was able to sit in a room with folks who are navigating through some of the same issues that I find myself in. And to be able to have some deep conversations with individuals who can relate to some of what I'm experiencing. It was just really great use of the time. I would recommend it to others who are finding a way to advance their thinking, and to really take their jobs to the next level."
