A NEW MISSION ... SUPER "VUCA" : ALPHA !




Dear readers,

Long time no see ...

Indeed, the past three months have been amazing, and quite busy :-)

I even had to apply to myself the great principle of time management — 86,400 — which I had written about a couple of months ago in this post : http://jmliduena-insead.blogspot.fr/2013/01/86-400.html

Basically, I embarked on a new super VUCA mission : not "volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous"... but Vibrant, Ultimate, Cool and Astounding !

I was recently elected Chairman of ALPHA in France. Over 23 million people have experienced an  Alpha course in the world.

It is a course attracting people who are asking the question "is there more to life than this?", and introducing those people to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that explore the basics of the Christian faith. In those sessions, no question is too simple, and no answer pre-packaged.

About 66,000 courses are running across 169 countries globally, in 112 languages.

One of the key outcomes of Alpha courses is to train Christian leaders whom, in turn, can help evangelize the nations, revitalize the Church, and transform the society.

We held a fantastic global reunion earlier this week in London: The 2015 Leadership Conference with 6,000 Christian leaders from around the world, including entrepreneur Jo Malone, banker Ken Costa, franciscan Raniero Cantalamessa, and archbishop Justin Welby...

More to follow on Leadership in the coming weeks...

Alpha ... inspire and connect !
