Going Beyond the Hard Skills – IDP testimonial

Going Beyond the Hard Skills – IDP testimonial

We are pleased to share insights from a recent interview with Rena Chai, who completed the International Directors Programme (IDP) at INSEAD. In her role, Rena navigates diverse board dynamics and was looking for a programme that could offer a range of international perspectives.

What sets the programme apart? Real-world case studies, global perspectives, interactive discussions, and simulation exercises that bridge theory to practice.

Beyond the skills, the IDP has given Rena a global network through INSEAD’s Directors Network. This valuable community provides diverse perspectives, enriching her approach to family business governance.

INSEAD Business Sustainability Programme: You will come away enlightened mentally, intellectually and emotionally

INSEAD Business Sustainability Programme: You will come away enlightened mentally, intellectually and emotionally

“Sustainability is absolutely critical in terms of advisory and board work,” said Cleopatra Kitti, Founder, The Mediterranean Growth Initiative. “We’re at an important juncture in Europe and the US, where we really need businesses to rethink how they deliver shareholder value in the longer term. There is no shareholder value without stakeholder value”.

She chose to embark on the INSEAD Business Sustainability Programme as it represented an opportunity to understand the fundamentals of business sustainability; to “remove the noise,” and dig deep into the spaces where climate, geo-economics, regulation, business and capital markets interact—to really get to grips with the strategic imperative of sustainability.

Advanced International Corporate Finance Programme: Translating Learning Into Real-World Value Creation

For Marios, the INSEAD experience has translated into real-world value creation; practical insights on how and what to measure in his day-to-day work that in turn are helping him create more value and long-term growth prospects for his shareholder community.

“I embarked on the Advanced International Corporate Finance programme looking to get what I thought would be theoretical insights from top professors with vast experience in international finance. But I was really pleasantly surprised by the way that the theories were rooted in real-life examples. Attending the programme has provided me with a deeper understanding of corporate finance in a global context by providing insight on the latest developments and best practices around valuations, capital structures, M&A, and risk management,” says Marios.

Infineon Technologies and INSEAD: A Partnership That Goes Beyond a Customer-Client Relationship

“We want leaders to be constantly asking themselves: “Is it really an ambitious target that we are working towards?”, “Is it clear who’s owning what and do we have a clear mandate?”, and “Are we making timely decisions to cater to the demands of the market?” I believe that all this contributes to shaping their leadership, personality, and how they seek to impact the business target,” said Jessica Richter, Senior Director, and Head of People & Leadership Development at Infineon.

In this exclusive interview, Jessica shares her unique insight into how the company’s people development strategy ties in to their overall business objectives, and how INSEAD is playing a key partnership role in preparing top management to lead the organisation.
