Format: Hybrid with a three-day, in-person learning experience in the Netherlands and online sessions.
Overview
For impact leaders ready for their next step.
You’re carrying a question that feels bigger than your current mandate. A strategic dilemma. A sustainability ambition that isn’t landing. A coalition that should exist but doesn’t yet. A conversation that needs to happen at a different level.
You’ve built experience. You care about impact. You’re navigating transformation inside a complex organisation. And you know: strategy isn’t the hard part, alignment is.

How it works
NextNudge brings together a curated group of Nudge alumni and intergenerational professionals (junior, medior and senior) to work on real organisational impact challenges submitted by Nudge alumni.
A small number of cases are selected and worked on in mixed teams throughout the programme. Not because we expect to “solve” them in a few days, but because working on something real reveals how leadership operates; where momentum builds, where it stalls, and what is required to take the next step.
Moving sustainability forward isn’t just technical work. It is leadership work.

- September: intake + two online sessions (1.5hrs per online session)

Description of Ideal Candidate
Who it’s for
The intergenerational mix is intentional. Systems change requires shared language and trust across generations, departments, and organisations.
Emerging professionals strengthen their strategic voice and understanding of influence. Medior leaders build coalitions and scale their sustainability agenda with greater authority. Senior leaders pressure-test strategy and strengthen cross-sector alignment capability.
