People, not machines, drive transformation! Success relies on bringing people along on the journey. The program was beyond just designing change for my specific business – it helped me understand how I, as a leader, can genuinely connect, adapt my approach, and influence people around me. The coaches really helped to bring a new fresh perspective that strengthened my leadership style and ability to influence more effectively.

The combination of technology, methodologies and leadership is powerful. The energy of the professors complemented each other greatly. Interactive cases and guest speakers add to creativity. Learning from other participants is very valuable. IMD cares about the details. Thank you.

The professors are hands-on and got me to look at ME which I had avoided for years! The coaches are the real deal, and I learned the practical value of coaching and listening from them. The entire experience is unforgettable.
Business Process Improvement Manager, Kramp, The Netherlands
Leading Digital Execution is full of inspirational sessions, thoughtful knowledge, your own coach and coaching group to get valuable feedback on your digital journey, plus a group of wonderful people from all over the world. What has stuck? It’s hard work, it takes courage and a real story, but transformation is also definitely an opportunity.

The program is among the best I attended, starting from the preparations before, handling all the logistics, then the amazing learning environment/tools, interaction with classmates/experience sharing, and finally the excellent professors with their rich knowledge and the brilliant way of transferring. IMD, thank you for the unforgettable experience.
SVP Strategy & Corporate Development, CLAAS, Germany
Leading Digital Execution is a great program. The professors showed us that some type of temporary chaos is necessary and helpful and that you need to heavily factor in corporate culture and leadership. We had great case studies which came alive with presentations from guest speakers. We were shown how to re-calibrate our leadership rather than learning new skills and when to practice “agile” but not every time. Thanks to all classmates and faculty for such a great week!

I gained a full understanding of the organizational elements and challenges, with the required skills to shift them towards our digital goals.
Director Strategic Business Partner Regulatory Intelligence, Novartis, Switzerland
My key takeaways – we are not alone. Our professional network can be an immense source of knowledge and guidance for our transformation journey. Second takeaway – having a vision that is clear to everyone in the organization is key to successful execution. If people don’t understand what you are trying to achieve, then they don’t know how to contribute and cannot support.
