IMD’s holistic and agile membership platform, NEXUS helps partner organizations accelerate their development by activating IMD’s full ecosystem of capabilities, from world-leading Executive and Organizational Development, advisory services and thought leadership to networking, communities, webinars, content and coaching.
Never has the impact of the NEXUS business model been so evident than in 2021, expanding its membership to over 75 global organizations from a broad range of industries. The flexibility of NEXUS, combined with the close proximity that the engagement model enables, helped members benefit from all of IMD’s offering – including online, liVe virtual and face-to-face programs, events, advisory and executive coaching. The launch of IMD’s knowledge hub and quarterly magazine, I by IMD, alongside tailored newsletters and content nudges provided added value for partners across the year, through customized content packages, learning management system (LMS) integration and co-branded knowledge portals.
Programs that resonated well with NEXUS partners included IMD’s signature program Orchestrating Winning Performance, Leading Digital Business Transformation, Future Leaders, High Performance Leadership, Strategies for Leadership (female executives) and the new Digital Transformation Sprint. There was also an uptake in the NEXUS benefit of enrolling executives as teams to existing programs to customize their experience while guaranteeing exchange with other executives.
Members also welcomed the launch of IMD’s new strategic talent advisory tools and services, Voyager, led by Dean of Southeast Asia and Oceania Misiek Piskorski and Professor of Leadership and Organization Ric Roi. This assessment suite supports members in their talent management, progression planning and learning development.
NEXUS partners have also appreciated the newly available opportunity to tap into IMD’s network of executive coaches, arranging stand-alone or post-program coaching sessions customized to their organizational needs.
