Upcoming Sessions
Make your strategic planning work by overcoming the barriers to execution
INSEAD’s Strategy Execution Programme provides the insights and tools to bridge that difficult gap between the rational development of strategy and real-life execution. It helps to identify hidden traps, balance the rational with the emotional and build the internal capability to continue implementing strategy successfully.
In addition, the Strategy Execution programme provides a ready-made support network in the form of fellow participants facing similar challenges. Arrive with a strategy report... and leave with an action plan that delivers results.
Key learning concepts in the programme curriculum
The Strategy Execution Programme is a two-module journey tailored to develop your personal strategy execution plan, combining reflection and action. This journey includes two 4-day on-campus modules and intermodular live virtual sessions.
We apply the Strategy Execution Stress Test to every participant’s strategy execution plan to ensure that it is actionable and effective. The Strategy Execution Stress Test is a cycle of evaluation and revision that systematically improves strategy execution plans.
Our Participant Profile
The programme is designed to benefit three key groups:
- managers who are new to implementing strategy
- those moving into a more challenging strategic implementation role
- executives simply looking for new ideas to try where others have failed.
Typically, they will be:
- General managers who head business units, e.g. country managers, or product or division heads
- Executives with accountability for outcome and direct control of significant resources (budgets and groups of people), e.g. heads of business units, managers of significant departments or leaders of major project teams.

Senior Manager, Data, CZ
The programme has pushed me to start spending more time talking about emotional capital with our board as well as with my colleagues. Getting people to acknowledge and act on it has helped greatly with the execution plan for our new strategies.

Strategy Specialist, Flow Control and Advanced Technologies at RHI Magnesita
We fail a lot on strategy development because we push out initiatives to meet the company’s ambition and do not balance them with the people's environment, culture, and emotions.
Christopher Stillings
VP Global Head of Color & Design Engineering Plastics at Covestro
You become so much more purposeful about your awareness of so many things, particularly of people and emotions, including yourself and your own.
Gerrit Jan Konijnenberg
Director of Strategic Development at Telenor Maritime, Non-Executive Director at RoamsysNext
You see things you haven’t seen before or that you might have taken for granted. The Strategy Execution Programme made me really rethink corporate politics, and the difficulties we all have in breaking with old strategies or old behaviours that are no longer fit for purpose.
Dr. Tobias Moser
CEO and Co-Owner of Fischer Spindle Group, AG
There are all kind of hidden barriers that you need to negotiate and develop the flexibility to navigate along the way. What I learned at INSEAD are things that I still practice in my daily working life, in this regard.
