IMD Business School: Advanced Leadership Program

IMD's Advanced Leadership program is executive education focused on the transition to enterprise leadership. It addresses the wider responsibilities that arise when experienced professionals move beyond leading a single team or function. The program uses leadership research and practical reflection to examine how leaders work with stakeholders and share responsibility. It is offered online, distinguishing it from IMD's separately named residential leadership and management programs.

Experienced managers and executives preparing for broader roles are the natural audience. Its relevance lies in developing leadership judgment across organizational boundaries, including the challenges of working with people who hold different perspectives. The focus is preparation for greater responsibility rather than a promise of promotion. It should not be confused with an advanced management course centered mainly on business strategy.
