Why skills in sustainability, innovation, and leadership are essential

In today's world, there's a growing demand for individuals who possess expertise in sustainability, innovation, and leadership. Here's the key reason why these skills are important:

• Higher earning potential: Pursuing an MBA can significantly boost your income. On average, MBA graduates see their earnings increase by 77%, as reported by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). Investing in your education can lead to a tangible payoff in your paycheck.
• Increasing demand for social responsibility and sustainability: Consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for environmentally friendly products. A survey conducted by McKinsey & Company revealed that over 70% of consumers are willing to spend extra on sustainable products. This underscores the growing need for professionals who can make businesses more eco-friendly, and an Impact MBA can equip you with the necessary skills.

A survey of MBA graduates found that over 90% credited their MBA program for expanding their professional network, which can lead to exciting career prospects and partnerships.

Companies known for their innovation outperform the average, according to the BCG Henderson Institute. An MBA program with a focus on innovation can teach you how to drive growth and adapt to the ever-changing business landscape.
• Leadership skills and advancement: If your goal is to advance your career and assume managerial or executive roles, an MBA can be a valuable asset. A GMAC survey discovered that roughly half of MBA graduates hold high-level management positions within a decade of earning their degree.

Read about her motivations for joining the Impact MBA.

‍“I have been studying in the Master’s Degree program since the end of 2022. I chose this program due to its exciting content, not because of the degree, as I already hold a Master's degree. I came across the program when I was researching MBA programs and was frustrated because it seemed like all MBA programs were promoting a "business as usual" approach and viewed sustainability and transformation merely as buzzwords and opportunities for profit maximization. The Master’s Degree program was a good alternative for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed studying at ToU. However, when I learned that this innovative university was launching an Impact MBA (which is exactly what I had been looking for), it became clear to me that I would continue my studies after completing the Master’s Degree program to pursue the MBA. I want to learn how leadership can function when sustainability and transformation are genuinely embraced, and I feel that ToU is the perfect place for this.”
