IMD 75 years

IMD 75 years, Challenging what is, inspiring what could be is for anyone looking to develop their personal leadership as well as the success of their organization. The book highlights the insights and ground-breaking accomplishments achieved during IMD's rise to prominence as one of the world's leading providers of executive education. Written to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Institute for Management Development, IMD 75 years is an engaging guide to the events that shaped the institute and, in turn, enabled it to develop and transform the success of thousands of leaders and organizations worldwide.The pioneering vision of the first-class international executives who founded the school in the aftermath of World War II was to provide insightful learning experiences that, crucially, would have real impact and lasting benefit. A practical focus, born from industry, combined with an international perspective and an innovative approach to learning, enables IMD faculty and staff to design and develop innovative and integrated programs addressing carefully identified needs and objectives. IMD's activity has recently expanded into a quasi-advisory direction, building on the strong belief that its role is to help leaders find their own solutions, embedded in their own organizations. This is all the more relevant in today's time of opportunity but also profound challenge and change.
