What our clients and participants say about IMD programs
I was surprised by how well IMD online courses could actually engage and inspire. The program far exceeded my expectations.
With the effective IMD Live delivery program formats, I could definitely foresee that there will be a mix of virtual and face to face in the future.
What I like most about IMD is the link into the corporate world. It's not just an academic place where you learn a lot of theory, you always feel from the professors and the community they are truly linked into business.
The technology that is currently being used at IMD for the virtual learning experience makes that leap to really create the engagement and the energy flow between the participant and the professor which I truly appreciated.
