“The program featured highly competent and skilled instructors who were very inspiring. It was a well-rounded program with a wide range of topics, offering a good mix of theoretical instruction and numerous case studies. The course has provided me with new perspectives and knowledge that I will carry forward. Additionally, it has supported my personal journey, where I am focusing on both personal and leadership development.

“The level of the education was incredibly high—from the first module in Kolding, where we got a preview of the quality of the entire executive program, to INSEAD. The program maintained a consistent thread throughout, linking the three foundational pillars: leadership, strategy, and innovation. Additionally, the project collaboration on one of the participants’ companies between modules 2 and 3 was very rewarding. The case study we worked on is highly applicable to my own situation and has provided me with a solid foundation. It was also incredibly interesting to analyze and develop a new direction for a completely different type of company, together with a team of individuals with very diverse backgrounds.”

“I greatly appreciated that the program had a broad approach to what modern leadership should encompass and how to develop and implement strategies. A particularly positive aspect was that the program was well-structured, and the professors represented a good diversity and were extremely knowledgeable, skillfully incorporating practical examples and cases directly applicable to our own challenges.”
Director, FÆNGSLET in Horsens
“I was enthusiastic from day one. The academic level was high, the participants were exceptionally sharp, and the instructors—both the business leaders in module 1 and the INSEAD professors across all three modules—were impressive. It was a pleasure and a significant strength to meet so many talented people with responsibilities similar to my own, and I am genuinely satisfied with what I gained from the experience.”
HR and Communications Director, OK
“The level of the instructors and professors was outstanding, and many of the talented participants I met are still in touch. It was truly exciting to meet leaders from various industries – for example, a shipyard director, a bank director, and myself from an energy company – that diversity was very valuable.”
VP head of global project execution, FLSmidth
“At the INSEAD program, I encountered some of the most exceptional instructors I’ve ever met, and in this context, I found the program director, Andrew Shipilov, to be particularly special. The professors are extremely strong theoretically but manage to incorporate practical experience and also have a deep understanding of our backgrounds, challenges, and issues. I gained substantial knowledge about green transition and digitalization, which has been especially relevant in our efforts to develop FLSmidth into a ‘front-runner’ in these areas.”
Unit Manager, Center for Patient Involvement
“The program had been recommended to me by previous participants, who emphasized that the participants consisted of a good mix of both private and public leaders – and that the program offered high quality teaching with skilled teachers. I was curious to gain a deeper insight into the demands of being a top manager, and at the same time I wanted to be equipped professionally to become better at working with strategic goals and change management. In my own experience, in connection with the changes we are faced with having to implement, this is often difficult. And with the enormous challenges that the healthcare system will face in the future, we must become even better at understanding and executing on strategic goals,” she says about her reason for participating in the training program.
