LEADERSHIP | DESIGN | INNOVATION

Leadin’ Lab is the laboratory for Leadership, Design and Innovation at the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano. It helps leaders to create meaningful innovations and transform organizations.

 

When you enter Leadin’ Lab you join a circle of researchers and pioneering managers who address the novel challenges of value creation in a world overcrowded by information and ideas.
We combine action with research: we scan the context, conduct our own experiments, and develop new tools.
So that your decisions are informed by science.

Ultimately, our purpose is to enable you to master the landscape and the frontier of leadership, design and innovation, and become a thought leader who inspire others.

WE STRIVE FOR MEANING.

People search for meaning.
It has always been so.
But it is especially true now,
in this complex fluid world.

Our research, education and projects support you in creating meaning. To see your work and business as a way to make meaningful things that people love.
