The Advanced Management Programme
takes you through a reflective process that
enables you to understand fully the way
in which you develop and exercise your
judgement. The new perspectives gained
by faculty and your peers will change your
approach to the challenges you face. At the end
of the programme, you will have a selection of
new ideas and solutions, and will return to the
office with a clear strategic plan. Facilitated
by INSEADs alumni and online platforms,
you will also have a much broader network of
international colleagues that you can call upon
for future business challenges.
