Strategically secure continued success

Today, navigating organizational uncertainty is one of the biggest challenges facing senior leaders. Modern business means operating in a context of global economic turmoil, amidst the threat of disruption, shifts in technology, changing customer behavior, increased scrutiny and regulation – all with evolving workforces and fewer resources.

Transformation, digital disruption, sustainability, and data analytics have become dominant themes in the ever-changing business landscape. To make sense of this landscape, senior leaders must embrace a growth mindset, a willingness to learn. The ability to reassess and renovate today’s business while seeding capabilities and opportunities for continued growth tomorrow is key to long-term business survival and competitiveness.

Start your comprehensive Advanced Management Program journey and build your strategy to successfully renovate your business today, and capture tomorrow’s opportunities for continued business growth, resilience, and competitiveness.

Tailored to you, with your business challenge as a red thread throughout the program, you will leave with the strategic and leadership skills to lead your organization with a concrete strategic action plan.

A learning journey tailored to you
Reframe your thinking

LiVe virtual, 4 half-days over 1 week

In this first step, we kick off the program together to ensure that you get the best value for yourself and your organization.

You identify the business challenge you want to work on, learn a complex problem solving framework to apply to it, and start examining internal and external factors that affect your organization.

In addition to complex problem-solving, key topics you will explore include macro trends and outside-in perspectives, strategy design and execution, corporate culture, and high-performance teams. After gathering feedback on your business challenge from your team at work, you refine it further with your personal executive coach.

These liVe sessions enable you to meet the other participants and form home learning groups.

Explore and design your strategy

Face-to-face, 15 days

This step allows you to gain fresh insights by deep diving into foundational business topics. You will look at strategy, innovation, marketing, and finance through the lens of transformation and agility, digital disruption, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and data-driven decision making.

On top, the immersive 3-day leadership workshop in the mountains enables you to focus on self-awareness, team dynamics, and the importance of adopting a growth mindset.

Working with a global cohort of senior executives, faculty, and your own executive coach, you design your strategy and a concrete action plan to resolve your business challenge for implementation back at work.

Refine and take your strategy forward

Individual follow-up

During the final step, you engage with faculty and your personal executive coach to follow up on the implementation of your strategic plan and deliver real-world impact on your business.

I’ve become a better person

I was genuinely inspired; not only by the content, also the way the Advanced Management Program was structured. The time working together with other participants, listening, reflecting, opened up my thinking, and I’ve become a better person because of it.
