Programme Overview

The 2023 Gartner CEO Survey shows the recent short-term reactivity giving way to relative stability, allowing leaders to return to long-term planning. Close to 50% of CEOs cite growth as their top priority, with a focus on the next three- to seven-year strategy. At the same time, profitability and productivity are also key, with 34% of CEOs strongly pursuing tech-related investments in analytics, AI & automation to unearth next-level productivity and bottom-line gains. In other words, modern CEOs want to aim for the stars with business growth and profitability at the forefront, while keeping both feet on the ground.

 To enable modern-day CEOs transformative journey, IIM Kozhikode has launched its Chief Executive Officer Programme. An orbit-shifting journey, it equips leaders with the strategic and innovative acumen to steer their ships towards long-term success in an ever-evolving business landscape. The programme delves into CEO essentials: financial strategies, supply chain excellence, brand leadership, and innovative technologies including AI and GenAI. Participants also learn ‘ace up the sleeve’ CEO skills: negotiation, conflict resolution, crisis leadership, and global market strategies. Add corporate governance, cyber security, and sustainability, and you can aim to drive transformation that seizes the present and secures the future. Participants will also gain global advantage through learning from Kellogg Executive Education, on modules such as AI Applications for Growth and Leading Growth Strategy.
