Programme Overview
Impact innovation is the application of innovation principles across all aspects of our work, consciously engaging with the social, environmental, and economic implications of what we do and how to navigate these areas.
The Igniting Innovation for Impact programme draws together different strands of impact innovation and brings a leadership lens which supports participants to create long-lasting and genuine impact through their roles and organisations.
To truly understand the impact we can have on the world around us we need to have a broad perspective – we can only do this through engaging with others from different contexts, and who have different perspectives and experiences. This programme draws together a global community and a unique partnership from East and West which helps us understand global shifts, the possibilities of the future, and the foundations of today.
This joint programme by Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) and the Møller Institute of Churchill College in the University of Cambridge is part of a broader programme, Impact Leadership in the Era of Global Disruptions, which aims to build a leadership ecosystem to support the development of leaders who embrace their role in a global environment. Participants will develop insights, foresights and wisdom that allow them to stay ahead of the curve and navigate the frontiers of transformation in a turbulent world.
The Møller Institute is part of a centuries-old seat of learning that has originated much of the disruptive knowledge which has shaped our world, while CKGSB is at the heart of the next wave of disruption, home to over 35 “Unicorns” which impact on the global economy. This programme is a unique opportunity to blend perspectives, knowledge and insights from East and West, building a platform for participants to build resilient, future-oriented and innovative businesses. Drawing together the best of UK and China, experiencing this programme is essential for any leader whose goal is setting the path for future success.

“
“Impact and profit must marry each other. It’s not a moral decision but a business decision. Being good doesn’t mean less profit, it means more. The concept is by helping others including your rivals; you can end up being much more successful and effective as a team.”
Tom KEYA
“The course brought me the chance to reflect on how innovation can be directed for the common good.”
Paulo DALLA NORA MACEDO
“The biggest take away from the programme for me is that I have started to implement UN Goals/initiatives & the Impact Innovation framework I learnt from the programme to some of my businesses.”
Thierry TEA
“Before considering joining this online programme, I was a little worried about the learning experience of interacting with professors and my fellow group members. I would encourage people to consider learning online because it has proven to me to be effective in learning and interacting with people from around the world - there is no borders online.”
Catherine XU
“It was a privilege to be a part of this unique programme. It is a great initiative highly recommended to all leaders willing to learn how to have positive impact, make a difference and contribute to a better world while realising their business objectives. It is a great opportunity to learn that combining profit and impact is not only possible but also inevitable as we have to save our planet now for future generations.”
Marek STAWINSKI
“Thanks to this programme, I am ready to reset our company’s tagline. We will try to create more impact by setting a clearer company purpose. Going forward I think if we keep ‘Impact’ in mind, we will make more differences. Making difference is the job of entrepreneurs!”
Chelsea CHEN
“It has been an eye opening experience to hear global Business leaders, top academies, practitioners’ insights from both east and west on impact innovation. The weekly group exercise session bought us back to reality with practical framework introduced on impact innovation, grateful to my peers’ contribution to the project (our business).”
Xiaobin ZHAO
“The programme has strengthened my aspiration to be a sustainable leader. Since 2009, we have invested in biodegradable plastic materials and applied tech innovation in our fashion business to solve the problem of “white pollution”. We will further incorporate the UN 17 SDG goals in our business targets to contribute to a more sustainable future.”
Shuying LIN
“The CKGSB-Cambridge Igniting Innovation for Impact course taught me to be intentional and specific in creating quantified impact in our business. We had renowned speakers from corporations such as Ant Financial and Haidilao to talk about the tangible impact they’re making on the environment and their employees. Impact and profit can be mutually reinforcing, and this course has prepared me to integrate impact investing as a core part of our private equity strategy.”
