THE WORLD'S 1ST OFF-ROAD EXPLORE EXPEDITIONS (E²)
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS TO TRIGGER CHANGE IN JAPAN'S FUTURE LEADERS
The WiSE Leadership Expeditions© culminate in a unique, annual off-road challenge designed to push the boundaries of leadership and innovation in extreme conditions, beyond a capstone project. Each year, a new off-road course in a different country introduces leaders to unique terrains, cultural contexts, real-world challenges, and unmet needs. This immersive experience, supported by a year of training, provides a stage for applying Relational Intelligence© and frontier technologies to discover needs and co-create human-centric solutions and discovery tools. Along the way, participants interact with rare, hidden gems in local communities—talented individuals and experts in frontier markets and sciences who are often overlooked. These interactions offer participants invaluable insights, opportunities to spotlight those with high potential, market test their ideas, and build a powerful network for future collaboration. By the end, participants will have validated a business opportunity, developed a solution, and created a 10 year vision and roadmap for implementation, positioning them to drive both immediate results and long-term success.
