Business Strategy and Financial Performance

Testimonials

Here is a sample of what participants have to say about their experience taking Business Strategy and Financial Performance programme.

Having a learning coach there to keep on track in your learning is just fantastic and not only from a technical or academic perspective. Because I was making a major transition, geographically as well as professionally, my learning coach really stepped up to help me organise the programme around my personal changes and keep pace with the work at a way that minimised disruption. She was also available with advice that I found incredibly empowering and motivational.

When you have a very busy job and one that can involve travelling, having online access to faculty and to your cohort gives you the flexibility and the possibility to really commit to your learning while you continue to service your professional obligations. And having that flexibility is key because you really do want to give as much as possible to the learning experience, and build on what you’ve done week over week. Because this is the way that the benefits stick. When you do it well, the impact really starts at the end of the programme.

You often encounter this idea that because a programme is online, it’s somehow easier or not as serious as other programmes. With INSEAD, that’s just simply not the case. This programme is unlike any other online programme I’ve taken, in that it keeps you fully engaged, fully motivated and delivers enormous value throughout. As a learning experience, it’s also a huge amount of fun.

I would highly recommend the INSEAD experience to anyone who wants to take ownership of their career, to see immediate impact, and to make a real difference to their own organisational, personal and client goals.

This course exceeded my expectations. It contained up-to-date information very relevant to various industries. In addition, the course got me to do my own research in preparation of the weekly ALP; so the learning curve was beyond what I had anticipated. I was also lucky that the course timeline coincided with strategy developments within my firm; so I had the privilege of implementing immediately learned concepts into my business. I highly recommend the course.

This course is very unique in the market - Strategy and Finance, with its course set in Economics, Execution, and Common Sense. I would recommend this to anyone currently practicing strategy as part of their role.

For busy executives, it is the right platform to step back and reflect on a strategy to grow value in your business. As you select the project, you can refine your strategic project with INSEAD advice level, before executing it for good. Most of the time, we do not take the time to do such a vital exercise to bring value to our business.

Taught by outstanding and visionary professors, the course offers a concise but complete overview on how organizations elaborate agile strategy to take advantage of evolving external environment, make value driven decisions, and measure their financial performance to assess the impact of their choices. Thank to an interactive online platform and continuous feedbacks from assigned coaches, the students can apply the learning to develop a personal impactful strategic initiative valuable for their own work. This will help them distinguish themselves within their workplace and better understand the strategic direction and decisions of their respective company.
