Programme Overview

Technological disruption, climate change and other accelerating global megatrends continue to compel CEOs to adapt, as a whopping 97% of respondents to PwC’s 27th Annual Global CEO Survey report having taken some steps to change how they create, deliver and capture value over the past five years. During that span, 76% of CEOs took at least one action that had a large or very large impact on their company’s business model. That finding reflects a growing unease, as 45% of respondents doubted their company’s current trajectory would keep them viable beyond the next decade—up from 39% just 12 months earlier.

IIM Lucknow’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Programme is designed to help new and aspiring CEOs to strengthen the capabilities essential to be agile and navigate uncertainty and transformation. The programme will help business leaders advance their leadership traits, personal resilience, financial acumen, cross-functional skills and effective strategic thinking capabilities to steer through the challenges and risks in today's world of global disruption.
