Talent and career progression programs
The gap between a good leader and a great one is wider than most organizations realize
Leadership transitions are among the highest-risk moments in any organization. The skills that earn a promotion – functional expertise, deep specialization, personal performance – are rarely sufficient for the next role.
Enterprise leadership demands a fundamentally different mindset. Without structured support, even exceptional performers lose momentum, and organizations pay the cost. IMD’s career progression programs exist to close that gap – faster, with less risk, and stronger outcomes than on-the-job learning alone can provide.
Transition to Business Leadership introduced me to the concept of moving from pushing to pulling, from forcing to accompanying, from personal winning to being the best version of myself and winning for a bigger purpose. IMD isn’t just a business school about performance, it’s a business school that challenges you to lead with purpose and to be in balance.
Each corporate training solution targets a specific transition point in the leadership journey – so development is always matched to where your leaders are and where they’re going next.
