INSEAD | Strategic Decision Making for Leaders Programme
Sharpen your decision-making skills
Leading a team, board or company to success involves making critical decisions, giving sound advice, and evaluating the decisions of others. However, in fast-changing business environments, leaders and managers must often make decisions under severe time constraints and with insufficient information. In these situations, if they rely only on habitual problem-solving techniques and intuition, they can fall prey to unconscious biases that hinder their ability to make the best decisions.
Strategic Decision Making for Leaders is aimed at executives who make important decisions in their organisations, including international businesses, and are responsible for establishing strategic decision-making processes. Through interactive classroom sessions, case discussions, simulations and group exercises, you will develop a practical understanding of what drives your own behaviour and that of the people around you.
You will return to work with a comprehensive understanding of the strategic decision-making process, along with concrete guidelines on how to make better decisions, apply efficient processes, and deliver consistent results.
Key learning concepts in the programme curriculum
Drawing on practical frameworks based on management science and psychology, as well as the newly introduced concepts of the power of data and AI, learn how to make better holistic decisions for your organisation.

Julie Baron
Director Global Product Management, Umicore
It really made me realise how easy it is to fall into traps, even though I see myself as data-driven person. That shift in awareness changed the way I challenge what is seen — and how I lead.
Richard Qi

For those grappling with complex decision-making, whether individually or in groups, this programme is invaluable. The integration of AI into decision-making processes makes it even more pertinent.

If you think you know how to make decisions based on your past track records, wipe that clean and really lean into the learning process. It prepares you for decisions you were not prepared to make.
