Chief Executive Officer Programme Batch 07

One certificate by IIM Kozhikode and two certificates by Kellogg Executive Education

Amidst market volatility, geopolitical tensions and disruptive business models, a pioneering opportunity awaits today’s CEOs: to go beyond weathering the present inflationary and recessionary storm and boldly redefine market paradigms. The 2026 Gartner Survey Reveals 80% of CEOs expect AI to significantly reshape their organisations' operational capabilities, highlighting a shift towards autonomous business models and long-term transformation. Nearly two-thirds of CEOs cite profitable growth among their top strategic priorities, while 58% believe AI will have the greatest impact on their industries over the next three years. In other words, modern CEOs want to aim for the stars with business growth and profitability at the forefront, while keeping both feet on the ground.

Designed for leaders navigating today's business landscape, the IIM Kozhikode’s Chief Executive Officer Programme empowers executives on their journey to the C-suite. An orbit-shifting journey, it equips leaders with the strategic and innovative acumen to steer their ships towards long-term success in an ever-evolving business landscape. The programme delves into the modern CEO mandate: financial strategies, supply chain excellence, brand leadership and innovative technologies, including AI and agentic AI. Participants also learn ‘ace up the sleeve’ CEO skills: negotiation, conflict resolution, crisis leadership and global market strategies. Add corporate governance, cyber security and sustainability and you can aim to drive transformation that seizes the present and secures the future. Participants will also gain a global advantage through two online certificate courses from Kellogg Executive Education: AI Strategies for Business Transformation and AI‑First Marketing Strategy: Executing Intelligent Systems for Growth.
