Insights from the journey of a top management team. “This program is high value for us”

After a deep analysis of several business schools, Jörg Frischholz, CEO of Nord/LB in Germany, chose IMD’s Breakthrough Program for Senior Executives for the individual-level reflection and growth opportunities that challenged usual thinking patterns, and team-level alignment through coaching sessions.

This comprehensive program is a deep-dive into your true self. Insightful frameworks from faculty, self-reflection with expert coaches and like-minded peers empower breakthrough changes.

The program provided me with profound insights and inspiration. Impressive faculty on topics such as technology disruption, culture, and decision-making, and the coaching in small groups enabled me to use my preferences, needs and strengths in my day-to-day decisions.

Learning to sustain a unique culture and growth mindset was critical for me to engage my team and lead my organization through change.

Your personal and professional lives are examined as a whole in the program, as you grow with like-minded, highly accomplished peers on the way to your next breakthrough.

Six months after the program, I led a major reorganization of the division I oversee, dealing head-on with key technological changes in our markets. IMD helped me translate the theme of breakthrough into my business. It was very powerful.
