It’s time to make a decision: beach or mountains? When choosing where you want to go for vacation, it can be simple. The options may be a or b. From a decision-making standpoint, it’s easy for the brain to process this decision tree. But, what happens when you’re faced with more complex, multifaceted decisions? You might make a comprehensive pro/con list, rank ordering the most important considerations. But, that can take endless amounts of time that you might not have to spare. When parsing through thousands or millions of data points, you and your organization need to tap into a more sophisticated approach.
The solution? Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) through machine learning to enhance your decision-making processes. Machine learning with Python can not only help organize data, but machines can also be taught to analyze and learn from disparate data sets – forming hypotheses, creating predictions, and improving decisions.
In Machine Learning and AI with Python, you will explore the most basic algorithm as a basis for your learning and understanding of machine learning: decision trees. Developing your core skills in machine learning will create the foundation for expanding your knowledge into bagging and random forests, and from there into more complex algorithms like gradient boosting.
Using real-world cases and sample data sets, you will examine processes, chart your expectations, review the results, and measure the effectiveness of the machine’s techniques.
Throughout the course, you will witness the evolution of the machine learning models, incorporating additional data and criteria – testing your predictions and analyzing the results along the way to avoid overtraining your data, mitigating overfitting and preventing biased outcomes.
Put your data to work through machine learning with Python.

Maybe you have pondered these questions over the course of your life, but haven’t been able to come up with any definitive answers. Still, you’d like to think that happiness is something you can understand and manage, right?
This is a class that answers these questions and shows you how you can use the answers to build a happier life.

Managing Happiness uses philosophical and technical insights to challenge your assumptions about happiness — helping you break bad habits that hold you back and build good ones you can use for the rest of your life.
Happiness is a core competency for those that want to be in charge of their lives — both personally and professionally. The concepts learned in this course will lead to enduring improvements and lifelong learning. At the end of the course, you will take away key concepts and actionable insights to apply to your daily routines. People around you will notice the difference.

What role should business play in tackling society’s challenges?
The purpose of business extends beyond profit and shareholder value. Understanding and managing a company’s impact requires more than compliance and reporting – it means creating commercially viable, sustainable solutions to social and environmental challenges. Traditional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is just the beginning.
Join us in Zurich as we explore three key considerations:

Starting with the problem: Scanning for and prioritizing social/environmental problems at the civic level
Building bottom-up solutions: Recognizing multiple actors’ specific expertise; consider partnering with social enterprises
Thinking in systems: Playing a catalyst role that federates other actors of change

During this in-person masterclass, led by Sophie Bacq Professor of Social Entrepreneurship, we’ll discuss whether businesses should take on societal issues, examine how some companies are already doing so successfully, and consider how organizations can realistically approach these challenges.
Following the masterclass, you are invited to join an information session on either the Executive MBA or the full-time MBA program. Connect directly with our Program Advisors and Alumni to:

But do these skills manifest themselves in the same way for men and women? Does the way they lead, make decisions, and lead organizations follow the same pattern, or are there nuances that impact their trajectories to the top?
In this EMBA Open Day, Professor Natália de Castro will lead a reflection on female competencies in senior management, the challenges faced by women in leadership and the importance of joining forces between men and women, to transform differences into competitive advantages.

How are you thriving or surviving in your remote work environment?
Remote working has long been an option for many organizations and employees. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, many more organizations were forced to rapidly shift to remote work. While there are many benefits of remote working, including reduced commute, greater employee flexibility, increased productivity, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants, virtual work can introduce new challenges. Employees and companies alike have learned to temporarily survive in a remote work environment; but, remote work is here to stay and will likely be a permanent fixture that transforms many organizations in one form or another. Everyone will need to develop the skills, competencies, tools, and mindsets to thrive in the remote environment.
Remote work affects an entire organization. For individual contributors, it means having to learn to collaborate effectively with colleagues you rarely see in person. For managers, it means knowing how to lead fully remote teams, developing ways to keep your teams motivated, connected, and productive. For leaders, shifting to remote-work solutions means rapidly advancing your digital footprint, using cloud storage, considering cybersecurity risks, and deploying new tools to increase productivity among your workforce.
In Remote Work Revolution for Everyone, you will learn to excel in the virtual-work landscape. Using the Harvard Business School case method of real-world examples, Professor Tsedal Neeley will not only provide actionable recommendations but also explain the theories and concepts behind them. You will learn how to build trust, increase productivity, use digital tools intelligently, and remain fully aligned with your remote team. By the end of the course, you will create actionable steps to “relaunch” your team—focusing on new ways to stay connected, be collaborative, and remain productive—while meeting your own personal and organizational goals.
Remote Work Revolution for Everyone will teach you best practices for working remotely. This course is based on Professor Neeley’s book— Remote Work Revolution: Succeeding From Anywhere. Praise for the book includes:
Neeley draws on her nearly 2 decades of research to answer the critical questions regarding how we best build productive and enjoyable virtual routines into our post-COVID-19 professional lives. Few of us are going back to the way we worked. Read her book and begin to prepare for the other side of this pandemic now.
– Larry Culp, CEO of GE
I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees, and building trust with your customers. This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment.

Executive Presence and Influence- INSEAD
2025-03-03 00:00 | Online
Master the Art of Presence and Influential Leadership

Leading teams and organisations effectively in today’s climate of endless uncertainty is contingent on your ability to inspire confidence in other people.
This requires you not only articulate and communicate your ideas with clarity and composure; you also have to build trust – trust in your competencies as a leader and decision-maker, in your technical capabilities, and in your absolute commitment to follow through on what you say you will do.
Executive Presence and Influence is an online course that aims to demystify these qualities – redefining them as skills that can be learned and mastered rather than innate traits or characteristics.
Integrating the latest research and thinking around communication, body language, trust and the science of influence, the programme also offers a highly hands-on approach and constructive exercises that will accelerate your self-awareness and practical understanding.

Women Leaders Development: Debunking The Myths | Limitless - INSEAD
2025-03-04 | Online
Open to: Public
Start Date: 4 March 2025
Location: Online Webinar

Women face a unique set of challenges when progressing into senior leadership positions, including unconscious bias, a scarcity of role models, and a peer group that continually shrinks the more senior they become. These can make striving for the top a lonely and frustrating endeavour even in organisations with the best intentions to support their top female talent.
At the same time, organisations are awash with myths about why fewer women than men reach senior leadership levels. These myths can perpetuate flawed thinking and delay meaningful change. It is, therefore, vital to develop an understanding of the real challenges women face and how these manifest in daily behaviours and norms in organisations.
In this webinar, Professor Svenja Weber will share about INSEAD’s ground-breaking research which sheds light on the true nature of these barriers. She believes that understanding and addressing the complex web of systemic, cultural, and structural issues that hold women back is essential to create an organisational environment where employees can thrive, reach the highest levels of leadership, and realise their full potential.
