What does it take to lead in a world where change is the only constant? For today’s executives, the challenge isn’t just delivering results—it’s transforming your organization while doing so. That paradox is at the heart of the new Future-Ready Enterprise Academy, a groundbreaking two-part course offered jointly by MIT Sloan Executive Education and IMD in Singapore.
This immersive program is designed for senior leaders who need to perform in the present while preparing for a radically different future. Whether you’re grappling with AI integration, geopolitical shifts, or the relentless pace of innovation, the Future Ready Leadership Academy gives you the tools, frameworks, and insights to lead with agility and purpose.
Two Powerhouse Institutions, One Seamless Experience
Delivered across two global innovation hubs—Boston and Singapore—the Academy draws on the combined expertise of MIT Sloan and IMD. These institutions are known for shaping visionary leaders who drive change across industries and continents. Now, their collaborative course gives you firsthand access to their faculty, ecosystems, and executive networks.
The program begins with a week on the MIT campus in October, focusing on frameworks for digital transformation, leadership agility, customer experience in the AI era, and strategies to unlock organizational innovation. You’ll walk through Kendall Square, home to the densest innovation district in the world, and see how future-ready strategies are being executed in real time.
The second module takes place in February at IMD in Singapore, where you’ll explore global growth strategies, study the DBS Bank digital transformation story, and learn how to harness ecosystems and platforms to drive sustainable advantage. Along the way, you’ll examine how geopolitical dynamics—like the US-China rivalry—are reshaping global business models and decision-making.
