How is INSEAD reshaping executive education for a world where senior leaders need both global exposure and greater flexibility?
In this episode of In The Know, Anne Bresman, Senior Director at INSEAD Degree programmes, and Daniella Wagner, Director of Recruitment and Business Development for Executive MBA, break down how the new Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) Flex format blends in-person learning with virtual and asynchronous components, creating a pathway for high-potential executives who previously could not commit to a fully in-person programme.
“What all participants all have in common is that they have a strong global exposure and want to increase this. They are also very curious, willing to learn, and they really want to level up and get ready for the next step.”
“The different GEMBA sections provide flexibility in terms of how and where you start. But there is never a compromise on what you learn and what you experience.”
