Working with an accredited executive advisor and peer coach, you will tackle a concrete leadership challenge and create a unique roadmap for your personal development beyond the Global Advanced Management Program. One-on-one coaching and peer-to-peer sessions will guide your journey and self-development as a leader.

This journey of self-discovery and reflection will enable you to:

• Identify your strengths, leadership skills and potential areas of improvement.
• Make more meaningful career decisions by gaining a deeper understanding of your underlying goals and motivations.
• Discover and manage possible blind spots that could slow down your professional development.

“Transform!” is an incredibly exciting and immersive business simulation that you participate in—physically and digitally—over the course of 3 to 4 months during the Global Advanced Management Program.

Having explored the diverse challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing future, now is the time to put your conceptual ideas into business action. It is also an opportunity to specifically focus on the leadership challenges of driving business transformation—radical change to every aspect of your organization—to drive business performance today and into the future.

This program brings together key aspects of strategy, innovation, transformation, corporate finance, team development and leadership. The fundamental principles are built on real-world experiences and insights. The stories and challenges, the emotions, confusion and strategic choices are taken from real-life CEO experiences. Throughout the simulation, you can get coaching and support as you learn how to work out finances, deal with banks and investors and work as a team. Most importantly, we pause frequently to discuss our learnings, how to effectively drive and sustain effective transformation and, ultimately, how to transform your business—and yourself.
