The Executive Board Programme provides specific boardroom skills, INSEAD certification and direct networking for board positions. The programme focuses on governance, strategic judgement, decision-making under pressure and boardroom dynamics. An MBA usually focuses on day-to-day management tasks.
Leading Strategic Change has been developed specifically for change management based on INSEAD’s latest research. Spencer Harrison teaches how to mix ingredients from all the most effective change models to suit your situation and allows you to test your transformation project in a closed and learning environment. In addition, a unique approach to building a culture that truly supports the changes you aspire to implement is introduced.
There are no formal educational or examination requirements. Before registration, we would like to talk to you to ensure that your level and ambitions match those of the programme and the other participants. Typical participants have several years of practical management/board experience. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the teams are often full months before the start.
The Executive Management Programme combines professional and personal development across all three modules. One module in particular focuses on transformative leadership. Leadership has many definitions, but transformational leadership does not arise from imitating a leadership paradigm designed by others. Rather, it is based on a deep understanding of oneself and one’s values, and the ability to translate this insight into leading the organisation and people to success.
The Executive Management Programme covers the most relevant topics for senior executives in the coming years. The programme is composed of the best elements from a wide range of INSEAD’s executive programmes.
The Scandinavian Executive Institute offers four INSEAD-certified programmes: Executive Management Programme (CXO level, strategy/innovation/leadership), Leading Strategic Change (change management), Executive Board Programme (board work), and Advanced Board Programme (experienced board profiles). INSEAD is ranked #1 in the world for Executive Education (Financial Times 2024).
It depends largely on your time. For experienced managers, an MBA may be overkill or too academic. The Executive Programme is designed so that it can be completed alongside a demanding management role, with 12 teaching days in Denmark and at INSEAD. You will gain both an international INSEAD perspective and a Scandinavian foundation with practitioners. The programme focuses on applicable knowledge that creates immediate value in your organisation.
Leading Strategic Change focuses specifically on strategy execution, with Spencer Harrison from INSEAD as the instructor. You will learn how culture can meet strategy for breakfast instead of eating it, and you will gain tools to translate ambitious strategies into action in your reality.
Leading Strategic Change is a six-day special programme that teaches you how to combine effective change models rather than just following one recipe. The programme addresses why 70% of change projects fail and provides tools to ensure success through both the hard and soft sides of execution.
The Executive Management Programme is the flagship programme for CXOs with at least 10 years of management experience. The programme consists of three modules of three to four days each and covers strategy, innovation and management in broad terms. Participants gain solid practical insight into strategic growth and innovation, gain new perspectives on their own leadership and new insight into how to navigate profitably in a future of many changes, including geopolitical and technological.
Leading Strategic Change is a specialised programme for senior managers and directors who need to implement specific change processes. The programme consists of two modules (six days in total) and focuses specifically on mastering the management of complex change. The programme supplements traditional change management with new knowledge about how to remove the hidden barriers associated with culture and the human dimension. You will learn to combine different change models, understand why 70% of change projects fail, and gain tools to create the best conditions for successful change. In short: the Executive Management Programme develops you as a top leader and your ability to make the right business decisions, while Leading Strategic Change gives you depth in implementing the necessary changes.
At Leading Strategic Change in particular, we have had good experiences with management teams participating together as a group. We can organise tailor-made coaching or other activities around the programme to maximise the impact for your team.
Adaptive change process is an approach recently developed by INSEAD through analysis of well-known change models. You will learn the best elements from each model and gain a broader set of tools for implementing change in your daily management.
Most programmes teach you one recipe. Leading Strategic Change teaches you all the ingredients from the most effective change models and shows you how to mix them to suit your specific situation and organisation. In addition, you will have the opportunity to test your change project and get feedback from a competent network.
Historically, 70% of change projects fail. The Leading Strategic Change programme addresses this challenge: we analyse what characterises the successful 30% and how you can apply these lessons in your organisation.
The Executive Board Programme is for CXOs and board members with at least 10 years of leadership experience who want to strengthen their board foundation. The programme consists of six days (two days Scandinavian module + four days INSEAD) and focuses on governance, risk management, the interaction between board/management/owner and provides concrete tools for value creation.
The Advanced Board Programme is designed for experienced board members with at least 10 years of board experience. Participants have often previously attended the Executive Board Programme or similar courses, or they are professional board members/chairpersons. This is an exclusive 3-day programme offered only at INSEAD, focusing on strategic vision, the leadership role of the board, future research and confidential peer-to-peer sparring on complex strategic dilemmas.
The Executive Board Programme is rooted in Nordic conditions, but with an international perspective. We do not delve into all global governance perspectives – only those that are relevant to know in a Nordic context.
All INSEAD programmes offered through the Scandinavian Executive Institute include AI and tech in a business context without going into too much technical detail. In the Executive Management Programmes, one module focuses on how to navigate the AI and tech landscape of the future, both in terms of business and strategy, but also in terms of management and organisation. The board programmes also focus on AI in the boardroom and the governance of AI.
Participants come from different industries, ownership structures and types of companies. This diversity gives you perspectives that you don’t get in your daily management group, where people often have a more uniform mindset.
In addition to traditional teaching methods, the learning methods also include a high degree of group work, case studies, simulations and the use of the latest digital methods such as Virtual Reality. The teaching alternates between many different methods in order to accelerate the participants’ learning and reflection, and not least mutual inspiration between the participants.
No, there are no specific training or exam requirements to attend one of our four programs. Some participants have a long higher education, and others are “autodidacts” – but they may have, on the other hand, an extensive practical experience. Common to the participants, however, is that they have some years of experience as managers.

As a general rule, you should expect to spend approximately 15-20 hours of preparation before each module.

Since English is a common language at all programs, you must be able to understand English at business level, both in writing and speaking, and formulate yourself in English.
It is, however, very important to be aware that both participants and, not least, professors and teachers represent a large number of countries and therefore everyone “has their own accent”. It is in no way necessary to be “perfect” in English or American pronunciation – together we always find a way to educational communicate and help each other.
You have to make sure you book flights to all modules on the programme. However, we usually recommend a number of flight times, which often fit well with the individual program start.
Of course, we are happy to answer all your questions – whether they are practical or professional. You are very welcome to contact who you want on this page.
We are all ready to help you!
