Developingyour futureglobal leadersThe IMDdifferenceIt all begins with a unique mix of highly talented and motivated participants.We look for and will only consider individuals with a demonstrated potential to becomefuture global leaders as well as excellent general managers.Thanks to the quality of applications we receive, we are able to be highly selective anduncompromising throughout the admissions process.The right peopleThe IMD MBA Program is one of the most demanding and intenselearning experiences offered today. In total we spend at least10 manhours per candidate to make sure each one is right for theprogram. The first hurdle, the written application, must reflect strongacademic ability, real management capacity, leadership potentialand cultural and managerial diversity. Letters of recommendation giveus an independent assessment of a candidate’s overall personality,influence and impact on people and organizations. By the time weinvite a candidate to our full day assessment center, we feel we alreadyknow that person quite well. Hence we focus on assessing the energy,drive, interpersonal as well as team skills. In addition each candidateundergoes a full professional background check by an outside agency.To obtain the IMD MBA degree, candidates must demonstrate that theyhave acquired the knowledge, skills and personal characteristicsrequired for a responsible and effective leadership career. Thoseparticipants who do not meet the academic and professionalrequirements during the program are asked to leave.The right programThe key program features that differentiate the IMD MBA programare a focus on responsible leadership and general management,a personal approach to leadership development and integrated startupand international consulting projects. Our intensive 1-year programis designed to push participants beyond the daily challenge they facein the classroom. They are tested in the field through a number ofoff-campus leadership exercises where they discover and understandwhat it takes to lead in a global business context.One of these leadership exercises is a one-week discovery expedition.This year the entire class will go to South Africa and work directly withsmall and medium-sized enterprises to improve current businessprocesses, provide know-how to the management team, examineenterprise financing and transfer best practices in marketing, humanresources, operations, etc. After their return, participants will workwith the companies to support the implementation of their suggestions.The special challenges of entrepreneurship are learned by workingwith start-up ventures. Teams develop a business plan and sell anexisting entrepreneurial idea to venture capitalists. Later, during the9-week international consulting projects, participants gain hands-onexperience working with top management of global companies ongenuine strategic issues and apply immediately what they have learnedduring the program.The right placeThe MBA faculty interacts with senior executives on an on-going basis inIMD open enrollment programs and bring this experience into the MBAclassroom. Many of the 60 full-time faculty members, made up of 20different nationalities, are recognized world authorities in their fields.They divide their time between teaching, carrying out research andacting as consultants to major companies in many industries.This ensures that they remain firmly on top of the latest developmentsin managerial practice. Faculty draws on this experience to createa particularly effective learning environment that is highly conduciveto tackling critical issues facing businesses today.Since participants come from some 70 countries around the worldto attend our MBA or other senior executive programs, IMD isrecognized as a highly stimulating and enriching “global maelstrom”.Thus we bring to Lausanne a cultural diversity that cannot be matchedby a short duration exchange program or multiple campuses.The right reasonsIMD can credibly claim to offer participants the exhilaration of selfdiscovery and of developing their creative and leadership abilities.We deliberately keep the IMD MBA small and selective – we limit theclass to 90 people each year because we believe that world-classbusiness leaders cannot be mass-produced. We follow each participantthroughout the program, providing very personalized leadershiptraining with a view towards practicality and reality. The aim of theIMD MBA program is to develop global leaders who have a significantpositive impact on their businesses, communities, and the globaleconomy, and who lead with high levels of responsibility and integrity.
