Newswise — Babson Executive Education, ranked among the top 10 in the world by both the Financial Times and BusinessWeek, will lead global business executives in Singapore from September 18-21 in its Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship Consortium Program. Babson Executive Education is partnering with the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) to deliver the three-day program.

Consortium Program curriculum includes:* The Entrepreneurial Process* Opportunity Identification* Entrepreneurial Finance* Shaping and Identifying Corporate Ventures* Positioning and Selling New Business Opportunities* Institutionalizing an Entrepreneurial Orientation
According to Chris Hennessey, Babson Executive Education Faculty Director and Consortium Program Director, the key to enhanced growth is radical innovation and a bold challenge to existing business models. "Our goal is to help executives develop an 'entrepreneurial' mindset to better identify new business opportunities, and then actually convert them into profit-making initiatives for the company."
Hennessey's research interests (shareholder value, economic value added, corporate entrepreneurship) and education and consulting experience will provide important insights for Consortium participants leading entrepreneurial initiatives in their organizations.
Babson Professor Neal Thornberry will join Hennessey on the faculty team. Thornberry's research and teaching focus on organizational change, strategy implementation, leadership development, and entrepreneurship within a corporate environment.
Invited executives are from leading companies in their industries and include multi-national corporations from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Australia.
