IDIA Academy Faculty
The IDIA Academy Adaptive Leadership Progamme is designed and delivered by some of the world's leading innovation experts, managers and practitioners from diverse institutional and geographic contexts. To supplement core faculty members, other experts are selected once the final cohort for each programme has been confirmed to ensure that participants are matched with facilitators based on their distinct contextual, sectoral and geographic interests and needs.
