The INSEAD Executive Master in Change (EMC) is a programme unlike any other. It is a personal development pathway that takes you deep into the basic drivers of human behaviour and the hidden dynamics of organisations.
By integrating business education with a range of psychological disciplines, the EMC prepares participants to assume roles in leading organisations, drive individual and organisational development, and successfully execute change management.
The programme takes place over the course of 18 months in a convenient modular format that allows participants to study while they work.
The EMC has intakes on both the INSEAD Europe and Asia campuses each year. The class profile below offers a brief introduction to the participants of our EMC'24 Classes, showcasing their professional profiles and objectives for pursuing the EMC.

"If you are wondering why the latest change project in your organisation has failed or the post-merger integration is just not happening the way it should, EMC is for you."

Coach, Change Consultant, M&A Lawyer
German
Ulf spent more than 15 years advising financial investors and strategists on domestic and cross-border merger and acquisition transactions, before pivoting into a new career as coach and change consultant.
"Through my (legally trained) analytical skills coupled with my focus on emotions and systems-psychodynamics, I find meaning and purpose in contributing to a more humane working world", he shares.
"One key learning from the EMC is how to overcome purely rational management by paying attention to the conscious and unconscious dynamics in organisations.
"I was looking for an international programme with an international student body and the INSEAD network was definitely appealing."

"When looking back at my work trajectory, it became clear that no matter the job I was actually doing, there was in it a great component about change and change management."
