Program Structure
Learning Methods


Message from the Program Director

Learn how to learn

The IMD Executive MBA Program takes you beyond the basics and prepares you for senior management challenges and responsibilities.

We trade the function-specific approach for a series of themes and ideas that will be important for your role in business in the coming years. We frame the learning in a real-world environment by working with materials that come straight from business and by leveraging the context for learning that all participants bring to the program: their own organizations and jobs.

IMD Faculty takes you through our rigorous case study approach and beyond, with simulations, debates, experiential learning, discussions with in-the-field managers and investigative expeditions to three continents. We’ll drop you into new situations, challenging you to adapt and to interpret your findings. Together we’ll work to get the most out of the learning process.

Our goal is to make the program valuable to both you and your company: we don’t just add to your individual competence, we also reinforce the intellectual capital of your company.

IMD’s Executive MBA will have you working alongside fast-rising classmates, with leaders in the world’s most innovative companies and with a Faculty committed to teaching and research aimed at you, the practicing manager and leader. It’s hard work, and it will stretch you – it’s a life changing experience.
