Strategic Forum for Senior Executives
Breakthrough insights that unlock new paths to growth
How do you secure your leadership position when uncertainty becomes the new normal and old assumptions no longer hold? What strategies and tools will enable you to lead effective transformation, and how can you challenge conventional boundaries to unlock new growth?
The Strategic Forum for Senior Executives brings together senior leaders for an exclusive and inspiring exchange on breakthroughs at the intersection of geopolitics, the economy, technology, and leadership. Over three days, you will explore how to anticipate change, harness uncertainty as a source of innovation, and act on emerging opportunities with confidence. You will learn from organizations that have successfully turned disruption into breakthrough ideas, demonstrating strategic foresight and bold leadership.
You will gain actionable insights to embed a breakthrough mindset across your organization – one that drives transformation, resilience, and sustainable growth. Through engaging discussions, collaborative activities, and thought-provoking exercises, you will leave with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and the clarity to navigate complexity and lead meaningful change within your organization and beyond.

As always at IMD, sharing experiences and knowledge with the other participants adds tremendous value. The Forum introduces you to new trends, challenges, and how to spot new opportunities.

It was a great experience, both insightful and engaging. We explored the rationale behind U.S. tariff shocks, the rise of China and its impact on geopolitics, as well as AI adoption and its relevance to business. We also learned how to ask better questions to support smart decision-making and scenario planning in today’s complex environment, helping us navigate both headwinds and tailwinds.
