Leading a team, board or company to success involves making critical decisions, giving sound advice, and evaluating the decisions of others. However, in fast-changing business environments, leaders and managers must often make decisions under severe time constraints and with insufficient information. In these situations, if they rely only on habitual problem-solving techniques and intuition, they can fall prey to unconscious biases that hinder their ability to make the best decisions.
In this thought leadership webinar, INSEAD Professor Enrico Decidue will draw on practical frameworks based on management science and psychology to emphasise the importance of strategic decision making, especially for you as a leader. Learn tips and tricks to establish sustainable decision-making processes and become a dynamic leader who can make better strategic decisions for your organisation.
Professor Decidue will also be joined by two past participants of his programme, Strategic Decision Making for Leaders in this webinar. They will share more insights about their experience on the programme, and the learnings which have helped them in their role. Hearing directly from those who have completed the journey often brings the value of a programme to life. You will also be able to discuss your aspirations in a safe space, and our programme advisor will be on-ground to address any questions you might have.

You are warmly invited to our exclusive and interactive online workshop: “Breakthroughs in Change – From Anxiety to Adaptability”, with our EMC alumnus, Jonathan Yeo.
Why do we resist change?
As individuals, we often meet anxiety, uncertainty, or the threat of change with protective defenses, and teams and organizations develop their own versions of resistance as well. In this workshop, we’ll explore how and why these defenses emerge, uncovering the underlying drivers at both the personal and organizational levels.
By bringing these hidden dynamics to light, you’ll learn how to navigate change with greater curiosity, transparency, and adaptability. Drawing on insights from the Executive Master of Change program, this session will help you apply these concepts in ways that strengthen both your professional practice and your personal growth. Please register to confirm your participation.

New Working Paradigm: The Changing Nature of Work - INSEAD

Everywhere we turn, people are talking about the “New Normal” and how work will never be the same. The COVID-19 pandemic—and our responses to it—undeniably reshaped how we design, organize, and execute work. But alongside this transformation came a wave of self-proclaimed experts, often making bold claims with little data or evidence.
This session takes a different approach: an evidence-based exploration of how work is truly evolving, grounded in decades of research. We’ll unpack the how, why, and so what of collaboration in today’s workplace—where interactions are increasingly virtual, distributed, cross-cultural, inter-organizational, and dynamic.
Using the Integrated Employee Value Proposition (iEVP) framework—developed by Mark Mortensen (INSEAD) and Amy Edmondson (Harvard Business School)—we’ll examine what employees genuinely seek from their organizations, and how that aligns (or doesn’t) with what they feel they’re receiving. We’ll explore how to balance compensation and flexibility with growth, community, and purpose. Aligning organizational offerings with employee needs is a win-win: reducing absenteeism and turnover, boosting engagement and productivity, and fostering healthier, more inclusive workplaces.

The demands on senior leadership are evolving at an unprecedented rate. Rapid advancements in Artificial intelligence (AI), shifting geopolitical dynamics, and the push for energy transition are transforming the way organizations operate—and the way leaders lead.
To succeed, organizations must be more agile than ever, fostering cultures that prioritize innovation, embrace technology, and commit to continuous growth. For senior leaders, this means inspiring their teams to think boldly, act decisively, and thrive in the face of uncertainty. Navigating today’s complexities, both locally and globally, requires not just a vision for success but the ability to adapt and excel in a rapidly changing world.
The Columbia Senior Executive Program (CSEP) is designed to equip senior leaders with the leadership skills, strategic acumen, and foresight to drive business success in this fast-evolving global landscape.
A transformative three-week journey, the Columbia Senior Executive Program begins in the fast-paced energy of New York City, moves to the reflective retreat of the Hamptons for the second week, and concludes back in the dynamic environment of NYC. This unique structure offers a perfect balance of cutting-edge business insights, profound leadership development, and actionable strategies for execution.
By participating in the Columbia Senior Executive Program, you are not just attending a program – you are embarking on a truly immersive and transformative journey that will reshape your approach to leadership and equip you to guide your organization confidently into the future.
