The INSEAD Executive Master in Change - A Unique Change Leadership Programme in Asia

"Asia’s business world is facing a reckoning", states a recent McKinsey report. "The ongoing effects of the pandemic, climate change, inflation, and geopolitical tensions have reshaped the corporate landscape, pushing leaders and companies to reimagine what it’ll take to succeed in 21st century Asia. 

The businesses that can embrace the uncertainties to rebuild and future-proof their organisations stand to reap the rewards."

But what does it take to lead in this new world?

"Today’s leaders must constantly lead through change", says Saskia de Maat, INSEAD Adjunct Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, the Business School for the World. 

"This requires additional capabilities on top of their analytical, technological and commercial knowledge and skills. They need to be able to look beyond the obvious and the visible and understand what’s going on at a deeper level if they are to make sense of what often seems irrational, contradictive, or even chaotic."

That’s where a programme like the INSEAD Executive Master in Change (EMC) comes in.

A unique programme in Asia

The EMC is a rigorous part-time Master's programme that takes you deep into the basic drivers of human behaviour and the hidden dynamics of organisations.

With its focus on the "human side of change", you get to gain skills that go beyond mainstream approaches to change management.

In the process, you will understand yourself as an instrument of change and learn how to inspire and empower others to champion change. You will emerge with a significantly improved self-awareness and broadened behavioural repertoire, as well as immediately actionable tools and skills to lead business change.
