Master the transition to C-suite

Stepping into the C-suite is unlike any other career move: expectations are higher, scrutiny is constant, and the margin for error is minimal.

New C-suite leaders must navigate complex relationships with the CEO, board, fellow executives, and teams while delivering both functional results and enterprise-wide collaboration. Designed for senior leaders recently appointed to—or preparing for—a C-level role, the IMD C-Suite Program addresses the unique demands you face at C-level leadership.

Over five months, you’ll gain the skills needed to successfully align your goals with a complex network of stakeholders, balance short-and long-term priorities, and deliver tangible business results. Your learning journey blends immersive on-campus modules at IMD Lausanne and Singapore with high-impact mentoring, personalized C-suite assessments, and executive coaching.

You’ll leave the program with a clear roadmap, practical strategies to accelerate your impact, and the confidence to lead effectively at the highest level.
