Program for Executive Development
Stepping into senior leadership demands that you expand your perspective beyond your function and develop the capabilities to lead across the entire business. You’re an experienced manager, ready to take the next step. But to succeed at the top, you must go beyond your area of expertise and master the ability to think, decide, and lead across the entire business.
As your influence grows, so do expectations: to align teams, set direction, and drive change at scale. It’s not one transition, but two: each requiring a shift in mindset and leadership approach.
- From functional expert to general manager. Move from deep expertise to broad accountability. Now, you’re responsible for performance across multiple functions, not just your own.
- From general manager to enterprise leader. Step back to see the bigger picture. Set direction, shape culture, and inspire people across the business with self-awareness, resilience, and presence.
Benefit from several flexible starting options per year. Starting from just 7 weeks, plus executive coaching, and distance learning support.
Completion of the two stages and a final assessment lead to the IMD Program for Executive Development. This IMD Executive Certificate is an accredited Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Business Leadership, an internationally recognized academic qualification that awards 20 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System).
