The four modules will be delivered in a blended format – online, self-paced sessions, live virtual sessions, and campus immersions. The programme spans 10.5 months, requiring you to commit 4-6 hours per week and one week away from your office. This blended approach to learning is also designed to provide you the opportunity to apply the learnings and insights you gain from the program at work and move forward in your current role.

CEO Perspectives
