Custom programs: fully tailored learning solutions for organizations

Partner with IMD to accelerate your corporate development, growing your leaders and developing your talent

Our custom programs are co-created with our clients. Each journey is uniquely designed to address your specific objectives, focusing on your organization’s development needs through different learning solutions, or developing strategic engagements with top teams and key business units to work on strategic challenges, culture change or strategy formulation.

Depending on the specific requirements, we leverage resources from across IMD to meet your goals and have the highest impact on your organization and leaders.

The program design evolves through a creative, iterate process, incorporating all our learning innovation to achieve your desired organizational transformation.

In collaboration with IMD we launched WIN (Women Interactive Network), a global leadership development programme that stands as one of our key initiatives to drive gender balance in senior management. The WIN program empowers female talents through face-to-face interactions, coaching sessions, networking events, webinars and the invaluable opportunity to shadow business leaders. Since its launch in September 2022, 29% of WIN participants have grown into roles with greater responsibility within our organization.
