It is no different from a module in the INSEAD Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) programme.

My primary objective of attending the GEMBA programme is to prepare myself with the necessary executive education to ensure that I stay relevant in the currently challenging global business environment. This has become more palpable with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has disrupted multiple industries.
The education sector has not been spared from the disruption caused by COVID-19.
