Hear from Past Participants

of INSEAD Online Programmes

It’s a great course to develop a more complete and disciplined analysis and planning process in fast changing, disruptive times. Even with years of business strategy planning in different industries and markets, the course offered me a broader and very useful approach and tools.

Past Participant,
Strategy in the Age of Digital Disruption

A fantastic course that breaks down the inner barriers of creativity and explains the process behind innovation, which is accessible to all.

Past Participant,
Innovation in the Age of Disruption

The programme was far more intense than I thought and, most importantly, flexible. I really felt part of the ‘class’ although I was at home or at work behind my laptop. It gets you out of your comfort zone and forces you to rethink your own assumptions and needs.

Past Participant,
Emerging Leaders in a Digital Age

Given the VUCA world, it is a very relevant course conducted in an excellent manner. The online platform is stupendously easy to use and the course is structured in a very logical manner. The best part about the course is the ALP, which helps one to really apply everything being learnt in the course to a real life situation.

Past Participant,
Strategy in the Age of Digital Disruption

A practical leadership programme that is thought-provoking and relevant to the current workplace. A great foundation of knowledge to set up for future and current leadership positions.

Past Participant,
Emerging Leaders in a Digital Age

This programme demonstrates that innovation can be learnt with the right methodology; together with the mindset and emotional orientation we bring to the process. Presented by a well published, recognised global thought leader, with backing stories about Silicon Valley icons he has rubbed shoulders with, there can be no better programme to discover and apply your innovative muscle.
