The LEADER Project – MBA style Entrepreneurial Program

MBA-style Entrepreneurial Program in Sarajevo

The LEADER Project, hosted by Restart and facilitated by Ivey Business School, empowers promising entrepreneurs in Bosnia and Herzegovina to learn business fundamentals, build business plans, and bring their business ideas to life.

Learn business fundamentals through the following modules: New Venture Creation, Business Strategy, Marketing Strategy and Tactics, Operations, Entrepreneurial Finance (Financial Statements & Cash Flow), Go-To-Market Strategy, Managing People, Communications, and Business Plan Development.

LEADER has helped transfer business leadership and analytical skills hundreds of participants globally, many of whom have since propelled their careers, expanded their business or launched new ventures. This is LEADER’s fifth year in Sarajevo and the team could not be more excited to build new relationships with Restart and program participants.

LEADER Project is being held from the 09th to 20th of May, 2022 in Sarajevo (09:00-14:00).

LEADER’s teaching approach is innovative and interactive. The program will be delivered to one (1) class through ten 4-hour sessions over the 2 week period; each session includes one (1) case study, one (1) lecture, and one (1) hour of entrepreneurial coaching.

LEADER designs a curriculum best suited to participant skill sets and the BiH region

In ten days, participants will engage in intensive workshops and entrepreneurial coaching with well-respected leaders from Ivey Business School, a leading Canadian institution.

Envision, launch or scale new ventures with LEADER

LEADER’s vision is to equip entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs with the business decision-making skills to create valuable businesses and improve the well-being of the regions in which they live.

I recommend the spread of knowledge and opportunity through Restart because not only are they organized, knowledgeable and professional, but they also offer diaspora the opportunity to make a difference in the quality of life in BiH through the focus on the economy and employment opportunities.

Restart fosters an enthusiasm amongst those it reaches and changes the diaspora conversation from “change is hopeless” to “BiH is the country of potential and opportunity.”

Nura Eston, Marketing Professional, Canada

Restart navigates the complex business environment in BiH with ease, and works with the highest level of efficiency and honesty. Restart enabled the registration of our business in the shortest time possible and, at the same time, provided support and advice above and beyond the original assignment.

We highly recommend Restart’s services to all entrepreneurs and investors.

Thanks to Restart, I was able to attend the LEADER Project (2017) in Sarajevo, organized in partnership with Ivey Business School. This might be one of the best practical education workshops I have ever attended. I gained valuable insight, was introduced to a group of amazing people and I had lots of fun in the process.
