Develop a deep understanding of best practices in investment management.
Success for asset management firms requires three things. First, the company must have an effective investment strategy. Second, the investment strategy needs to be implemented efficiently. Third, the company has to successfully handle the non-investment elements of the business, such as marketing and compliance. This programme covers all of these elements, exploring the perspectives of both investment managers and those individuals and institutions that provide capital to them, to enable you to make an immediate and long-lasting impact on your organisation.
The programme focuses on investments in traded securities (such as stocks, bonds, derivatives) but also considers alternatives in private equity and venture capital.

ESMT Bites: June edition
This month’s edition features the lecture “When unethical behavior becomes a team sport in your organization” by Ulf Schäfer, a senior lecturer in strategy at ESMT Berlin. Major corporate scandals like Dieselgate or the Wells Fargo fake accounts do not happen in a vacuum. They require the active participation of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. But how do well-educated, well-meaning employees and managers get swept into large-scale wrongdoing? This session explores unethical behavior as a social phenomenon. Discover how groups and networks subtly reconstruct morality and agency, enabling ordinary professionals to become part of corporate transgressions.

Stewardship and scale are twin driving forces in the growth journey of founder- and family-led businesses. Yet one of the greatest challenges enterprising families face is how to accelerate growth and professionalise their operations and governance—without compromising their long term identity, core values, and control.
As the business landscape evolves amid macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of generative AI technologies, the long-term horizon for family enterprises is being reshaped. Many are now searching for innovative strategic directions and business models for continuity and success across generations.
In this transformation, private capital owners have emerged as strategic allies. Beyond providing funding, they increasingly help families innovate, scale with purpose across markets, and strengthen their competitive edge—futureproofing the family legacy through sustained value creation.
The success of such partnerships, however, is far from guaranteed. It demands mutual alignment, shared intention, and effective governance to deliver enduring, win win outcomes in an increasingly complex environment where agility and stewardship must coexist.
Hosted by INSEAD Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise, the exclusive INSEAD Family Enterprise Summit will bring together academic experts and leading practitioners to explore critical questions shaping family-private capital partnerships through five key themes:

Innovation, Growth, and Resilience in Family Enterprises
How can family businesses innovate, grow, and stay resilient amid shifting markets and generational transitions?
Strategic Engagement with Private Capital
When and why do family businesses partner with private capital or equity providers, and what drives these strategic decisions?
Evaluating and Attracting the Right Investment Partnerships
How can family enterprises identify aligned investors, build strong relationships, and optimise their strategic options?
Governance and Long-Term Value Creation
What are the different governance frameworks that foster alignment and value-creation among diverse ownership structures in family firms
Next-Generation Leadership and Succession Readiness
How can families nurture leadership continuity and smooth transitions to next generation leaders?

The Summit will highlight how leading business families are taking diverse strategic paths to thrive across generations—leveraging private capital to achieve sustainable growth while upholding stewardship and purpose. The agenda will address evolving ownership models, next generation leadership dynamics, and the alignment of capital, culture, and long term vision.
The Summit is open to members in family enterprises. To foster an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality under the Chatham House Rule, participation by third party advisers will be limited and by invitation only through a participating family business member.
May we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your seat and book your hotel accommodation early as demand is high during this period.

In executive circles, the word “purpose” often triggers skepticism. Too frequently, it remains a narrative statement with limited operational impact, or worse, a source of confusion and misalignment.
Yet when properly activated, purpose can become a powerful driver of performance.
Join us on July 2nd at 12:00 PM (CET), for an online masterclass addressing a critical question: how can organizations move from purpose as intent to purpose as a lever for measurable performance?
This session will be led by Rodolphe Durand, Professor at HEC Paris, whose research explores how purpose-driven strategies can unlock collective action and create sustainable competitive advantage. Drawing on the work of the HEC Paris Purpose Center, this masterclass confronts the paradox of purpose head-on. It identifies the common pitfalls that undermine purpose initiatives and provides a structured framework to align purpose with leadership, governance, and execution.

It has never been more important to make the right strategic decisions.

In today’s world, the real competitive advantage isn’t strategy alone, it’s how leaders make decisions under uncertainty.
As the world becomes more uncertain, something fundamental shifts. At one end of the spectrum, you can analyse the data, model the options, and make the right call. At the other end, the data doesn’t exist yet, it won’t exist until after you’ve already had to act. In that world, the only thing you can design is how fast your organisation can sense, adapt, and move. Most leaders are somewhere in between, and the most common, and costly, mistake is not knowing where.
Applying precise analytical tools when the situation demands scenario thinking. Waiting for clarity that will never come when you should already be acting. Using yesterday’s decision architecture for today’s level of uncertainty.
This masterclass gives you the frameworks to recognise where you are on that spectrum, and to lead accordingly. It is practical decision architecture, grounded in leadership psychology and behavioural science, and immediately applicable in executive committees and board discussions.
Professor Matt Mulford worked with leadership teams across industries, helping them reduce bias in strategic investments, redesign decision processes for high-stakes situations, and build the kind of strategic conviction that holds under pressure without becoming rigid.

Reimagining a Legacy Brand Through Culture and Communication Open Day Case Session
If you seek to sharpen your vision and ability to drive corporate performance in today’s uncertain climate, don’t miss our October 6, 2026 @2.00pm CEST online session on IESE’s Advanced Management Program (AMP) to help you navigate uncertainty moving forward and discover new ways to drive change and make your mark defining a new world.

In this session, participants will step into the role of Lisa McKnight, Mattel’s Chief Brand Officer, and examine how a legacy brand can respond to criticism, reshape its cultural meaning, and reconnect with both consumers and decision-makers. The discussion will explore how Mattel used the movie not simply to ‘milk’ IP rights, but as a powerful communication platform capable of changing brand associations, reigniting nostalgia, and potentially building a new form of brand fandom.

This year, the conversation is sharper, more urgent, and more consequential than ever.
As AI moves from promise to proof, founders are being challenged to deliver real impact, investors are prioritizing trust and long-term value, educators are demanding tools that strengthen human agency, and policymakers are shaping what responsible innovation looks like in practice.
The CEO Summit returns October 12-13, 2026 (Invite-only). If you’re here, you belong to a class of leaders redefining what’s next. Expect to meet:

Top selected EdTech CEOs
Late stage investors
Strategic partners

This is where perspectives come together—not around buzzwords, but around the ideas, partnerships, and practical strategies that will define the next chapter in our industry.
