Solutions for Organizations
IMD was built by business, for business. Partner with us to develop leaders who deliver real impact.
Let’s take your organization where it needs to be
Since 1946, IMD has worked alongside organizations to help them lead through transformation, build resilient pipelines, and turn learning into measurable business performance.
Your strategic priorities are the starting point. We don’t arrive with a fixed curriculum – we work with your senior team to understand your context, your culture, and what needs to change. Then we design around that.
Programs are customized at three levels: the core program architecture, the content, and the delivery. Learning journeys, scaled to your objectives, can combine custom programs, open-enrollment programs, and executive coaching.
IMD has been named the world’s #1 provider of custom executive education by the Financial Times, a powerful endorsement from the organizations and leaders we partner with to drive real transformation. With our open programs also ranked in the global top 10 for the 21st year in a row, this recognition reflects our deep, lasting impact on leadership development worldwide.
Documented impact. Boardroom-ready evidence
We measure what changes after a program ends. Using the globally recognized ROI Methodology®, we isolate program effects from external variables and calculate verifiable financial return – giving HR leaders and CXOs the evidence they need to make the case.

Return on impact: Bayer’s success story
What IMD did
- Proposed a scalable custom “Sprint” format program, integrating live and self-paced learning, with emphasis on creating psychological safety, coaching, and active performance management.
- Delivered the program through 29 Sprints over 10 months.
- Included practical assignments, peer discussions, and reflections to ensure that leaders translated theory into practice.
The impact
- An estimated 66% return on investment and €23 million in annual efficiency savings.
- Leaders reported significant improvements in their ability to create psychological safety, adopt a coaching mindset, and manage performance.
It was a peer sharing experience, and it became a moment of people that wanted to participate because they saw the benefits of those who had already gone through. It was a horizontal world of coming together to learn differently.
