Leading Strategic Change INSEAD is an international leadership program focused on change management and transformation.

Leading Strategic Change INSEAD not only provides you with the tools but also the insight and inspiration needed to bridge the gap between rational strategy and the real world.

Everyone can have great ideas about a company’s strategic choices, but the real challenge is executing those strategies and ensuring that the people in the organization make the changes happen. Perhaps that’s why up to 70% of such change projects fail. If you’re the one who needs to make things happen, it’s crucial to have a set of tools that allows you to handle the human and cultural aspects of the execution process successfully.

On the Leading Strategic Change program, you’ll gain those essential tools. Additionally, you’ll acquire a framework to prioritize your company’s strategic projects effectively.

The program is also highly effective for an entire leadership team, providing a shared perspective on organizational challenges and opportunities.

In a concentrated 4-day program held in Denmark and France, you will gain inspiration, insights, and tools to manage the execution of ambitious strategies and oversee transformation projects in your organization.
