SKILL-BASED FOCUS

The Positive Progress Education Model, developed by GILT, forms the backbone of all GILT programs. Next to the actual content, GILT programs always focus on the development of leadership and technology skills and encourage bold, unconventional thinking.

WORLD-CLASS FACULTY

Practitioners, management and leadership thinkers, artists, and philosophers. GILT programs are taught by leading industry experts, renowned academics, proven entrepreneurs, and exceptional thinkers. GILTs hand-picked global faculty will not only share their direct and practical knowledge but also provide personal insights and experiences from their various fields of work.

ACTIONABLE KNOWLEDGE

Designed to take action and get things done. Discuss and debate the most pressing challenges and co-create solutions with a selected group of peers. GILT programs focus on practical application and are designed to explore fresh ideas and develop new solutions.

CONNECTING A COMMUNITY
