A transformative journey for experienced leaders to shape and inspire your future.

Become a comprehensive leader

  • Challenge convention. Expand your reach.

The world has become fast-paced, uncertain, ambiguous, and complex, interlinking business with economics, geopolitics, and cultures. Companies bear new responsibilities towards stakeholders and society. Transformational change requires individuals to behave and think differently. Aspiring and engaged leaders must be equipped with new skills, perspectives, paradigms, and narratives to make sense of and succeed in the future world of international business and to maintain a high level of commitment at all levels in their organization to solve complex business issues and carve new routes.

The SKEMA’s Global Executive MBA is a transformative journey designed to train experienced decision-makers and to propel them to become comprehensive leaders who will shape their ecosystems and achieve sustainable business results.
