One-year programme to LEAD executive education offerings

INSEAD’s 12-month flagship executive education programme is to enrol its first intake in November, reports Tim Banerjee Dhoul

INSEAD will enrol its first intake on a new 12-month executive education programme at the end of November 2022. 

‘The impactful and rigorous 12-month learning journey helps executives to see the world through multiple lenses and drive meaningful impact and relevant results,’ said Charles Galunic, Programme Director and Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the launch of the programme, called INSEAD LEAD (LEAD). 

While the school’s executive education portfolio has focused on shorter-term and more specialised offerings to date, a key stated aim of LEAD is to help participants look beyond short-term gains, understand the larger context, and create sustainable value and impact. 

‘I think that the way that people want to learn has changed over time. More and more, we want to learn in short snippets, over the course of a week say – and from the comfort of our own homes,’ Galunic told BusinessToday, adding that the ‘programme is around 90% asynchronous in the sense that participants learn at their own pace.’ 

Described as a ‘hybrid blended learning journey’, online and asynchronous delivery is supplemented with synchronous touchpoints, live virtual presentations, and an in-person capstone at INSEAD’s campus in Fontainebleau, France. There are four core modules – including ‘Fostering Innovation in an age of Disruption’ and ‘Mastering Financial Analysis’ – and three electives. Synchronous components for presentations and a decision-making workshop take place in-between the core and electives. The certificate programme is then rounded off with the aforementioned capstone project. The cost, as advertised at the time of writing, is €19,950 EUR. 

‘This programme design reflects the two years that we spent closely looking at the changing needs of executives, not only from the point of view of what they learn, but how they learn. The unique learning design is an excellent fit for busy executives,’ said Severine Guilloux, INSEAD’s Chief Marketing Officer at LEAD’s launch.
