Our strategy maintains our position as a global leader in business education through four key strategic goals:

These pillars represent INSEAD’s commitment to excellence, innovation and a sustainable world. They guide our actions as we lead in responsible business and society. 

All initiatives underpinning INSEAD’s strategic goals have the clear aim that the school continues to lead on innovation and adaptability in the field of business education. Our educational portfolio thrives, offering cutting-edge programmes that are global and fully embed sustainability.

Strategic Initiatives

Without action, the world would 
still be an idea

- Georges Doriot

The words of Georges Doriot, one of INSEAD’s founders have guided INSEAD since its beginnings. Our strategy will be achieved through concrete actions in the form of strategic initiatives.

Strategic initiatives have been identified and initiated across our business school and we are excited to highlight a few in progress today.

We are strengthening our sustainable development agenda to drive school-wide sustainability goals, efforts and outcomes.

We are excited to announce the creation of an ambitious initiative to place INSEAD at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) business research & education.  

We are looking far into the future to reimagine our physical & digital educational space to future-proof education across our various locations.
