Meeting today’s challenges and preparing for what’s next
Working together to take your organization where it needs to be
Business today is characterized by rapid change and complexity. Digital transformation, AI, sustainability, and geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping how organizations compete and grow. As priorities evolve, so do executives’ learning needs. At the same time, leadership pipelines still need to be strengthened, and industry-relevant skills continually developed.
For over 75 years, IMD has partnered with organizations to co-create transformative learning experiences that drive measurable business outcomes – enhancing productivity, engagement, and bottom-line performance. Our customized approach is guided by four key principles:
- Analyzing your context, priorities, and strategy as the foundations for defining success, with emphasis on listening to your needs and understanding your corporate culture.
- Conducting robust assessments of knowledge, attributes, and capacities according to your organization’s objectives.
- Creating learning journeys customized at three levels: the core program architecture, the content, and the delivery.
- Implementing a dedicated tracking system to measure both tangible and non-tangible impact.
Custom programs, focused open-enrolment programs, and executive coaching can be combined and scaled, according to your objectives.
Through action learning, simulations, and experiential methods, your leaders tackle real-world challenges, building capabilities that deliver impact and ROI.

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.
