Who
Our participants
OWP is designed for both individuals and teams and is attended by, on average, 400 international executives from a wide range of industries, providing each participant with an outstanding networking opportunity.
"At OWP we learn the 15% we can improve on, as the devil is in the details. IMD offers us the inspiration to get that space of greatness." Geraldo Barbosa, Chief Executive Officer Diagonal Consultoria, Brazil |
"Getting away from your daily business routine, allows you to reflect and reconsider what you should and must do, to improve your own performance and hence that of your company. OWP has been a great source of inspiration." Henrik Frank Nielsen, Division Managing Director Rockwool International A/S, Denmark |
"OWP is an excellent program! The variety of topics discussed and the opportunity to network with leading executives from all over the world, both contribute to making it a truly amazing experience." Catherine Hadiman, Vice President Director Pt. Bank Cimb Niaga, Indonesia |
"OWP is a unique learning journey. The program is rich in content and very well structured. I gained fresh insights in current worlwide trends and realities. Simply outstanding!" Michel Welters, CEO Preflex Group, Belgium |
"OWP was a wake-up call for me, a good reminder of the things I need to work on as a leader. One being bonding with my team, which is a fundamental pillar of trust and team building. Also, you can achieve results under any circumstances through the way you think, through re-wiring your brain. It's been very inspirational." Prakash Bisht, Head, Accounts Apollo Tyres Ltd, India |
"We have several challenges in developing economies like China and India. One is to be able to keep up with market growth. Another is to customize to local needs. An example is our recent decision to have Chinese crew on flights in and out of China. We also adapt our in-flight services in food and entertainment for example. The Alibaba vs. eBay case was very inspiring to me. It made me wonder about our website - already available in Chinese - and whether we should customize it even further. A thought-provoking session!" Mark Arxhoek, Regional Commercial Director Greater China Air France KLM, China |
"This is my third OWP and it has been very useful for me from both a personal and business perspective. I think we live in a world of great opportunities and challenges, so it is important to see the trends, keep an open mind and keep the mind's eye focused." Carlos Bartolo, President Fininter SA, Portugal |
"OWP has opened up my view and so much of what I've learned can be implemented in my company. A key learning point is that I need to take more time to reflect. I'm here as part of a team, and we have decided that we will now take more time to reflect together on the external environment and what it means for our future." Birgit Otto, Director Schiphol Group, The Netherlands |
"To be successful and sustainable in the future we need to redefine our values and establish new relationships with all stakeholders, from business to governments to society. OWP has been extremely enlightening in helping to formulate what the new uncertainties are, and how to make sustainability work." Wilson Bricio, President South America ZF DO Brasil SA, Brazil |
"Relevant, practical and invigorating. I found the content we dealt with applied directly to my current role. The program was also a great opportunity to reflect on issues away from my work environment." Ajit Venkataraman, Tata Motors Thailand, CEO Thailand |
"OWP is a great program for leaders eager to challenge their thinking and open their minds to new opportunities surrounding them." Peter Spencer, UK Sales Director, Decorative Paints Akzo Nobel NV, United Kingdom |
What
You have never faced tougher stakeholder demands. You are expected to help your organization make sense of these unprecedented circumstances; to work in new ways to overcome seemingly impossible challenges; to spot and respond to fresh opportunities; to take the helm and guide stakeholders through these unchartered waters; to provide comfort, direction and above all leadership.
You must orchestrate complex resource networks to create sustainable advantage. You need to exude the confidence that comes from clarity of understanding and vision as well as a belief and trust in your team's capabilities.
Our Faculty has collaborated to create a transformational experience that will help you take control in this difficult environment. Each year, we develop a unique program, integrating IMD's latest and most pertinent research, to address the major current global trends managers should be aware of.
The Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) program will stimulate you by challenging your beliefs and showcasing the future. It will refresh your understanding of key growth and impact drivers and provide critical guidance on how to harness complexity to your advantage.
Participants should come with an open mind ready to learn from thought leaders and peers, to build networks, lead change and take immediate action after the program.
As an individual, you will:
- Cultivate effective responses to today's business challenges
- Enhance your performance as an orchestrator of resources beyond your direct control, across functions and disciplines and beyond the boundary of your firm
- Expand and mobilize your knowledge support network
- Refresh and restore your confidence to lead purposefully
As a team member, you will:
- Explore and discuss new business perspectives objectively, well away from your normal office environment
- Develop a shared understanding of the priorities and how to implement required change
- Re-assess the roles and performance of team members
- Follow your own team program and re-group each day to share your new knowledge
- Solve problems and develop action plans with your team to address major strategic challenges
- Improve team effectiveness through experiential learning and intense coaching sessions
Every participant will be in a position to develop an action plan based on his or her OWP experiences.
Team Opportunities
If you are a team, we can tailor the program to help you address any particular challenge you are facing. Our Faculty will engage with you ahead of the program to examine your team's specific needs and objectives to develop a customized OWP experience that will inspire you and your team for years to come.
