As today’s world becomes more interconnected, the business landscape in which
we operate grows more complex. INSEAD’s Executive Education programmes
are developed to respond to this rapidly changing global business environment,
unravelling and explaining new complexities while contextualising challenges and
introducing new solutions. We provide transformational learning experiences that
help individuals and businesses find new levels of innovation, motivation and value
creation, achieved through programmes that are informed by a global outlook,
thought leadership and an understanding of how to create real impact.

From Transition
to Transformation
With at least ten years of management
experience, ILPSE participants are already high
achievers. They are outstanding executives
with the ambition and drive to make the big
breakthrough into senior management. Yet
they also know that continued achievement is
not guaranteed. In fact, the very qualities that
helped them to succeed in the past risk holding
them back in the future.
With INSEAD’s support, that risk turns into
reward – for both you and your organisation.
We allow you to step back and learn. To learn
about yourself. To learn from an exceptional
peer group. To learn from the best minds in the
business. We even help you unlearn much of
what you knew, then relearn it from a different
perspective.
ILPSE will equip you with the tools, analytical
frameworks and the entrepreneurial mindset
that provide the self-confidence to do what
it takes to succeed as a leader at the upper
echelons of business – whether you have just
arrived there or aspire to do so in the medium
term.
People say that they come to INSEAD in search
of a smoother transition to general management
and they return to work transformed. The story
does not end there, either. They also transform
the people, processes and products around
them. In fact, thanks to INSEAD, it is just the
beginning. This is a career with many more
transitions to come.
From Participants to Alumni
As well as becoming part of your own class
community, you will leave the INSEAD
Leadership Programme for Senior
Executives - India as a full member of the

“My whole perspective before selecting a
program was that I wanted a global
perspective. ILPSE covered the key aspects of
General Management. The way the program
was designed, i felt it brought in a huge
amount of flexibility in terms of the time i
had to devote to the program. That was very
reassuring as I didn't have too much time in
hand and I knew i had the flexibility of doing
couple of modules over tele-presence, couple
of modules on campus which was exciting”
CEO, Ezeego1.com
“There is over 750 + years of collective work
experience in the classroom from varied
backgrounds/industries and to know each
one’s professional journey is invaluable.
Above all there is the possibility that you will
make few friends which will last your life.”
General Manager, Life Care
“The learning I’ve had is very useful because
from a general management perspective
on how to look at things, how to plan your
resources, how to plan your time is something
that I am using on a day-to-day basis and that
has added a lot of value to me in building my
career and also in putting those learning into
action on a regular basis.”
Business Head, Twitter
“It’s been a fantastic experience
learning from the world-class faculty
and accomplished leaders from diverse
backgrounds. There have been multiple
opportunities for self-evaluation and working
towards how to conduct myself and the
business better.”
Vice President & National Sales Leader –
Card, GE Capital
“Having worked for 15 years...in order to be
ready for the next phase of my career. ILPSE
provided me the perfect platform to provide
the upskilling I needed and also putting
together the new skills I needed.”
General Manager, Stolt-Neilsen Company
“I chose ILPSE for its value and character. I
personally feel that a person to grow needs
diversity in experience. ILPSE by nature of
design of the course gives you that – on one
side it doubles you in the personal side of it,
then it gets you out and you get into some kind
of different experience which is completely on
a framework or a concept. Another dimension
is that you end up pushed in a group where
people are very different and lot of wisdom
is there. The kind of faculty it offers gets your
wisdom in place faster.”
General Manager Human Resources,
Wockhardt
“ILPSE has been a great learning experience
in terms of increasing my awareness of the
trends that are shaping the world around us.
In terms of the curriculum, they have taken
key business toolkit parameters like decision
making, and approached it from multiple
aspects.”
CEO , Radius Infratel Pvt.Ltd.
“The beauty of the programme is that it gives
a very 360 degree approach to learning; not
only does it give you a lot of soft skills to
work on but also a lot of frameworks for your
professional life.”

Comprehensive
Curriculum
Unlearn. Learn. Challenge. Be challenged.
ILPSE is thoroughly intense and exhilarating.
While you continue in your career, you
periodically participate in intense learning in
a stimulating environment and blend your new
knowledge with work back at the office.
ILPSE’s academic component is structured
around three types of modules: general
management and leadership-oriented modules
leading to integrated learning of leadership-
related skills and behaviours; functional
modules and advanced functional modules.
In addition, prior to the start of the formal
programme, participants will complete optional
online coursework covering basic financial
concepts. This optional pre-programme
coursework is to ensure participants share a
common language to describe and analyse
an important goal of sustainable economic
activity – value creation for all stakeholders in a
business.
At the beginning, mid-point and end of the
programme, you will participate in integrated
immersion weeks at INSEAD campuses in Asia
and Europe. These intense immersion weeks
will focus on providing you with the essential
leadership tool kits necessary for success in
formulating and implementing strategy and
managing change. Using a multi-disciplinary
perspective and through collaborative effort,
you will understand how to draw upon different
management concepts to make stronger
strategic and organisational decisions. Using
simulations, role-plays and reflections, these
sessions will push you and your co-participants
to rethink your decision-making processes and
provide you with new tools and frameworks that
will make you a more effective leader.
The core functional modules focus on
fundamental skills to strengthen your
knowledge in multiple functional areas.
These will be taught by INSEAD faculty and
renowned visiting faculty, over the course of
the programme. Each topic covered in the
functional modules will set you up for advanced
functional modules and the immersion
weeks that follow it. The advanced functional
modules taught by INSEAD faculty allow you to
delve deeper into some of the key functional
management areas.
At the end of the programme, an integrated
business simulation will pull together all the
leadership and general management skills
acquired during the programme. Specifically,
the simulation allows you to role-play, in a
safe yet realistic setting, the skills required
to formulate a vision, develop a strategy and
implement it for a given business.
Further, you will have opportunities to learn
from the success of recognised business
leaders in two ways. First, the academic
component of ILPSE is complemented by
regular talks by invited successful leaders.
Second, ILPSE participants, in collaboration with
the INSEAD Alumni Association, organise
structured INSEAD Business Dialogue
events that provide a platform to debate
and discuss topical issues with successful
leaders from established firms as well as from
entrepreneurial new ventures.
In addition to these intensive learning
opportunities, you will undertake assignments
in the form of essays, interviews, reflection
papers, and action plans for behavioural
change.

Action Learning and
Leadership Development
You have a unique management style, a view
of the world and where you are headed.
Your development needs are unique and we
understand this. While you go through the same
programme as all participants, we have tailored
several elements to focus only on “you”, so
that you are better equipped to attain your
management aspirations.
The immersion weeks have been carefully
designed to provide you with opportunities
to hone your individual skill sets – be it
negotiation skills, communication and
presentation skills or your ability to engage
and lead groups effectively. You will learn
to challenge your established beliefs and
incorporate new best practices that will make
you a more effective manager.
The programme provides unique opportunities
to improve self-awareness and to reflect,
through tailored sessions on unconscious group
dynamics and emotional intelligence. The
peer-coaching engagements throughout the
programme will help you develop as a leader
and contribute to your individual development
plan.
You will also receive a comprehensive 360o
feedback conducted using INSEAD’s Global
Executive Leadership Inventory framework. You
will discuss your feedback and development
needs with the support of INSEAD Global
Leadership Centre’s clinically trained coaches
and its unique group-coaching approach.

World-Class
Faculty
Our excellent, dedicated faculty is the starting
point for the programme. Appreciating both
theory and practice, they accept that concepts
do not amount to insights unless they succeed
in solving real business problems.

Selected from among leading academic,

business and management researchers,
the ILPSE faculty is composed of a mix of
INSEAD professors as well as renowned
visiting academics, who combine to form
a focused team that will significantly build
your knowledge and provide you with a set of
dynamic skills.

The teaching and research staff are not

simply world experts in modern management
techniques and entrepreneurial studies. They
are also experts at passing on their skills. Our
faculty’s inspirational talent in the classroom is
as important as their ability to prepare erudite
research papers.

Their specialisations and fields of research are

also diverse, covering the major issues facing
international business. Not surprisingly, given
the school’s multicultural bias, much of their
work has a global dimension.

Individual Development Plan
An Individual Development Plan is a process
to help you put to use what you learned in a
module in order to generate better results. It
is Individual because it is yours—no one else will
monitor your performance against the plan. It is
about Development because it based on reflection
and the actions that you will take based on
insights you gained in a module. Two actions
that you actually implement are better than ten
that never get done. It’s a Plan because it sets
forth what you are going to do by when, and what
results you expect to see.
What is the measure of your IDP’s success? It is more
than just executing a plan—the plan is a means to an
end. The end is : If in a month or two someone were to
ask your manager whether you are producing better
results by putting your ILPSE knowhow to work, he/she
should be able to point to concrete accomplishments.
When a group of senior executives evaluate in the
future whether you are ready for one of your
company’s most interesting and challenging
leadership roles, they should conclude that your track
record in the job you have today demonstrates you
have what it takes to improve performance proactively
instead of just reacting to today’s context.

Financing

Company-Sponsored Participants Education Loan Option for Self-Sponsored

Companies can support the internal career
advancement of their senior executives by
sponsoring them through the programme.
Sponsored participants will have a great
opportunity to upgrade their skills and business
context as they prepare for the next level of
leadership. Companies that have sponsored
their executives through INSEAD programmes
have consistently found that the investment
generates great returns.
A letter of financial support from the
sponsoring company is required along with the
standard application form by candidates whose
companies are sponsoring them.
Participants
Financing by way of loans to meet programme
fees and incidental costs is available to
all participants through selected financial
institutions at competitive interest rates.
Please note that sanctioning of loans and
decisions on collateral requirements will be
decided by the financial institution disbursing
the loan, at its sole discretion. Applying for
financing by way of loans in no way jeopardises
a participant’s admission evaluation.

Please note that all sponsored participants

will go through the same admissions process
and will be subject to the same evaluation
criteria as other applicants to the programme.
No job search support will be provided for
participants, who are partially/fully company-
sponsored.

Companies interested in sponsoring their

senior executives and which want to learn more
about the programme should get in touch with
Eruditus at ILPSE@eruditus.com to schedule a
one-on-one discussion with an ILPSE advisor.
