If you are a senior leader looking to improve your skills and take on greater responsibilities, you know how complex and intricate your job can be. You need to consider a wide range of stakeholders and make strategic choices that require innovative approaches to management and leadership.

The Senior Management Program is designed to broaden your horizons and provide a fresh perspective on the challenges companies face. As a seasoned manager, it's crucial to be able to think ahead, read the context, and adjust your approach accordingly. Our program helps you identify gaps in your attention and explore both the micro- and macrocosm of your business, allowing you to reflect on important contextual elements such as macro-trends and the non-market environment.
