Lance Armstrong: Hero or Villain?

Following the success of last June's sold-out event “Leadership Lessons from the American Civil War”, MBS is delighted to host another Harvard Club of Victoria Masterclass: "Lance Armstrong: Hero or Villain?".

An interactive session using the legendary Harvard Business School case method. We will explore issues of leadership and loyalty, values and moral dilemmas. It is based on a celebrated longer case study by HBS.

Presenter Ted Blamey has led this and other case discussions for various groups to wide acclaim. Participants will put themselves in the evolving situation and, through guided discussion and debate, pick apart the challenges, options, goals and risks, navigating how they make decisions when the stakes are high.

Ted Blamey holds an honours degree in Applied Science from the University of Melbourne and an MBA from Harvard University. He is a former McKinsey & Company consultant, global cruise ship line CEO, Port Authority Chair and CEO of Australia’s largest retail travel collective.Ted is a Life Member and long-serving Councillor of the Harvard Club of Australia (Sydney) and is the recipient of the Harvard Alumni Association Award.
