Individual Development Plan
An individual development plan (IDP) is a process to help you put to use what you learn to generate better results. It is individual because it is yours – no one else will monitor your performance against the plan. It is about development because it is based on reflection and the actions that you will take based on insights you gain in the programme. It is a plan because it sets forth what you are going to do and what results you expect to see.
The Entrepreneurial Boot Camp
Tap into your creativity and all that you learn in the programme to develop an original business idea and create an action plan to bring it to fruition.
The Phoenix Encounter
A dynamic group exercise that allows you to apply a hypothetical business model to the test, react to forces of disruption and collaborate with your peers to create a strategic blueprint to see it "Rise from the Ashes".
The Business Leader Interview
A unique opportunity to expand your horizons by conducting a one-on-one conversation with a highly successful global executive, someone you admire. Past participants have interviewed business luminaries such as Michael Dell, Azim Premji and Narayana Murthy, among others.
Learn from INSEAD’s accomplished, multicultural faculty as well as renowned guest speakers from leading organisations in India who combine to form a focused team that will significantly build your knowledge and provide you with a set of dynamic tools.
