About Programme

A new playbook for global business leaders

Organizations operate within the context of their market environment – their competitors, suppliers, and customers – but also within a broader environment that includes social, political, and regulatory forces.

This program will offer business leaders an evolved perspective on these critical forces. It provides strategies, language, frameworks, and tools to analyze and respond to these factors for a competitive advantage.

Guided by Professor David Bach, Dean of Innovation and Programs at IMD Business School, this program provides participants with an enhanced strategic skill set for navigating a changing global business context. Bach’s interviews with several leading practitioners provide an “on-the-ground” perspective. You’ll engage with topical, global case studies and continually apply your learning to your organization through discussion forums and reflective journaling.

Finally, you’ll complete an analysis for business change and success, and learn how to strategically engage with stakeholders. You’ll also get the opportunity to interact with the thoughts, experiences, and opinions of a diverse and international group of participants, and grow your global network online.

Testimonials

"The course has provided insights, systematics, and concrete models that will support my job of advising companies about how they work strategically in the market and non-market. Many illustrative real-world cases have tied the theoretical content together with the experiences of companies. And the global perspective has provided new insights."
