Collaborate with partners around the world
Shizenkan University aims to be a catalyst for transforming leadership education by establishing its unique educational approaches based on the “whole-person leadership” concept as well as working together with likeminded partners who share our problem awareness.
To achieve this aim, we extend our reach worldwide through partnerships with leading business schools. These collaborations enable us to co-develop and deliver innovative educational programs, facilitate meaningful exchanges of students and faculty, and conduct cutting-edge joint research on the evolving landscape of global business and leadership education.
