The INSEAD Executive Master in Change - Uniquely Relevant to Support Ambitious Transformation

"The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) consisting of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates represents some of the fastest-growing economies in the world", writes Katy Montgomery, INSEAD Associate Dean of Degree Programmes. 

"To support further growth, promote safe and healthy communities, and increase awareness of the region a number of these governments have created ambitious strategic plans to influence and execute major change", such as Saudi Vision 2030 and many other transformation projects.

"In order to be successful, leaders will need to understand themselves as an instrument of change and the role of emotions in change management." 

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

A unique programme on change management

The INSEAD EMC is a rigorous part-time Master's programme uniquely positioned to respond to today's change and transformation challenges in the GCC region. It 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.
