About

PLDx was created in January 2014 by four graduates of the Harvard Business School Program for Leadership Development. The program which starts twice a year in December and June brings together more than 120 executives from over 40 countries to prepare them for a leadership role within their company. The program is taught part-time and the students are required to attend several on-campus modules. During these modules, students live together on campus in a living group of maximum 8 people. The leadership program is very intense in terms of study load and specific subjects that form our future leaders in business, politics and society. The Harvard experience can be very emotional at times and for some people has been life-changing, both personal and/or professional. Many students form a bond for life during these few weeks.

The purpose of the PLDx online community platform is to connect all past and present participants of the PLD program and keep the conversation about business and leadership topics, but also annual meetings and other initiatives going.

PLDx aims at being the one-stop shop for all things related to the PLD program during the program and afterwards. Many students of different cohorts have created initiatives to give back, make small investments together or organise annual conferences

Every year, the Annual Global PLD Summit brings together more than 150 former participants of the PLD program in a capital city of this world, so far being New York, London and Barcelona.

The PLD Difference Makers have brought together a number of charities that PLD members all over the world support. PLDx members can choose their preferred charity and select with what kind of expertise or funding they want to support that charity.

In conclusion, PLDx.org is a place to connect with classmates and other PLDers who have had the same life-changing experience. Our vision is to keep the Harvard spirit alive and benefit from the program even after graduation, the objective is to attract all current and past participants of the program and offer an exclusive closed loop platform.

Many great initiatives have been launched around the world, the Platform for Leadership and Dialogue brings all those together in one place and provides a breeding ground for new ideas.
