Comprehensive Leadership Development in a Disruptive Age
Although you will already have achieved success as a functional expert, stepping up to general management can be a difficult and potentially risky transition. General managers need a comprehensive toolkit in order to make this transition from specialist to generalist a successful one.
The Transition to General Management programme is our flagship general-management-level programme. It is exclusively designed to equip you with all the skills and knowledge needed for your transition to general management.
The programme will give you the confidence to manage the complexity you will be facing as you develop from a specialist into a generalist. In short, INSEAD’s unique tools and insights will prepare you to succeed in this most difficult of transitions, the point in a manager’s career when they need to quickly expand their knowledge of business.
