The Doctorate in Organizational Change is a practice-based doctorate for those who want to make an impact that matters.
The people who seek out this transformative doctorate degree are usually those who feel a sense of emptiness about their professional lives. Tired of the relentless pursuit of accumulation and profit, they wish to explore some deeper territories beyond conventional organizational needs.
Key program features:
Flexible part-time study
Hybrid / 5 years
A community-based approach to learning
Dedicated supervisor support
Access to world-renowned, research-active faculty
Executive education as we know it is typically based on teaching existing theories, leadership models and tools. As theory advances, course content evolves, and business schools like Hult teach progressive topics about innovation, technology, and social change.
What our doctoral programme offers is the opportunity to go beyond the confines of those traditional leadership and management models. To undergo a deep personal and professional transformation over a five-year phase of inquiry.
We invite participants to draw upon the family of methods commonly called Action Research or Action lnquiry, supported by faculty supervisors.
