About Us

Babson partners with organizations to develop entrepreneurial leaders who drive growth and transformation in the organization. Organizational renewal requires leaders who move teams through change and disruption, navigate through uncertainty, and build capabilities that allow companies to grow beyond the current business.

We engage with leaders to deeply understand their context and co-create solutions that are the basis for establishing strategic innovation capabilities. Our experts teach and facilitate through this process and guide clients through the development and the implementation of critical innovation initiatives.

Our faculty have decades of experience as researchers, consultants, and teachers, and bring our institutional capabilities as the number one school for entrepreneurial leadership to the collaboration.
