Increasingly, it is not enough for leaders to go beyond the traditional boundaries of their organisations, professions, sectors, cultures, cities and regions. They need to know how to step beyond their own countries.

An invaluable benefit of becoming a member of the Common Purpose Alumni is the ongoing access to the network of cross-sector peers.

Every member of the Common Purpose Alumni has participated in their local programme before becoming part of the international community - a community which is outward-looking and which both challenges and enables leaders to connect with each other, local to local, across the world.

These connections, between people who would otherwise never meet, enable continuous contact - and impact - at a genuinely international level.

The Common Purpose Alumni has access to its own community website, www.commonpurpose360.org.
