Totti Könnölä holds a PhD in Technological Sciences and a Master’s in Environmental Economics from Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, and advises OECD countries internationally as an expert in innovation, entrepreneurship, digitalisation and sustainability. He lectures at CMI Business School and is academic coordinator of the Responsible MBA, a programme of excellence — and here he explains why you should study one.
The Responsible MBA, the key to what comes next
Find out what lies at the heart of the Responsible MBA and why training of this kind matters. As Dr Könnölä explains, responsibility belongs to everyone. We therefore have to consider the impact of everyday activity — sales, customer relationships, making our products, developing services — and he stresses how important it is to manage all of it from a perspective that runs across the whole company.
It is for this reason that new programmes such as the Responsible MBA come about. The programme grows out of that cross-cutting way of thinking, in order to train and educate students through the lens of responsibility — and through it, every relevant aspect of an organisation can be managed with an innovative approach.
Responsible education
“All of this about responsibility has to be seen as something that runs across the whole organisation,” says Könnölä in this video produced by CMI’s communications team. He adds: “Responsibility is often dealt with in marketing or environmental management, and in that sense it becomes somebody’s territory within the company (…) Responsibility belongs to everyone, not to one particular function.”
