Three-day immersive executive forum-style programme for leaders, high potential executives and teams to deliver real impact
INSEAD announced the launch of INSEAD for Impact (IFI), a three-day immersive executive forum-styled programme designed around a simple principle: practice-led, future-facing and data-driven. It aims to help leaders and strategy teams turn strategic insight into executable action. The inaugural session of IFI will take place from 22–24 June 2026 at the INSEAD Asia Campus in Singapore.
At a time when leaders are overwhelmed with disruption, geopolitical uncertainty and competing advice, IFI shifts the focus from understanding what is happening to determining how to make change happen. By combining faculty insight, industry perspectives and collaborative working sessions, the programme enables participants to translate emerging trends into practical strategies and prioritised actions.
Unlike many traditional programmes that stop at insight generation, IFI is deliberately structured to move beyond analysis to execution, supporting leaders as they understand the forces reshaping business, develop practical, prioritised plans for change and build the personal and organisational resilience required to sustain execution.
Sameer Hasija, Dean of Executive Education and Dean of the Asia Campus at INSEAD, said, “By combining practice, future-facing perspectives and data-driven rigour in an immersive format–the INSEAD for Impact programme helps organisations move from knowing what must change to actually making change happen.”
Narayan Pant, Programme Director of IFI and Professor of Management Practice at INSEAD, commented, “Today’s leaders live in environments that change constantly and unpredictably. Their challenge, then, is to quiet the noise, focus their attention on what really matters, and then act on it. This programme offers leaders focused time and space to understand what matters to them strategically, deploy AI tools that can help them, and practice leadership approaches designed for a new era.”
Programme structure:
- Twice-daily plenary sessions led by INSEAD faculty and external thought leaders to analyse key trends and forces
- Focused working sessions where participants collaborate in smaller groups to develop actionable responses to key trends with relevance to the specific content pillar.
- Peer benchmarking and exchange, enabling participants to learn from diverse industries and leadership contexts.
Content pillars:
- Disruption & Strategy: Build smart strategies to navigate the inevitable disruptions affecting your business.
- AI in Action: Better leverage AI within your teams to enhance strategic decision-making and build robust processes for your organisation.
- Leadership Development: Develop a practical framework for development for the evolving nature of leadership skills needed to drive change effectively
IFI aligns with the Asia Campus's 25th anniversary celebrations by exemplifying INSEAD’s legacy of pioneering leadership development in Asia.
