"The most important insights from OWP will allow me to identify and bring out the strengths in my team, and lead them to achieve greatness together. Things like having a team where everyone comes to the table with a positive approach, where the team members encourage each other, and where no one submits to the fear of not achieving his or her goal. I thought the stream would be extremely beneficial to my professional growth, but it also helped me to grow at a personal level. I learned a lot about what I thought my limitations were, and how I can overcome them. It really brought my opportunities to light."
Karen Watkins, Senior Vice President |

"My company has operations at 75 terminals in 31 countries around the world and we need to be efficient and effective in dealing with this global network. I came to OWP to hear what other companies are doing and learn from the research and experience of IMD, so that we can take our organizational structure to the next level in a way that drives us forward. My new learning will help us to re-think our corporate governance, and ask if a network really is the best way of organizing ourselves. It will also help me to think about how to best organize the areas for which I am responsible."
Michiel Gilsing, Director Corporate Control & Business Analysis |

"Our company operates on the global stage in an industry that is undergoing full transformation at the moment. In this changing environment it is so helpful to be able to discuss the dilemmas, the trends and case studies of other businesses with other executives. Getting a different perspective on these and other issues has helped me to challenge my own assumptions and to look at my company’s opportunities from a different angle. I have more questions to grapple with than I had before coming to OWP – but also multiple paths forward to consider!"
Lada Hruba, HR Director – Europe |

"OWP was a wake-up call for me, a good reminder of the things I need to work on as a leader. One being bonding with my team, which is a fundamental pillar of trust and team building. Also, you can achieve results under any circumstances through the way you think, through re-wiring your brain. It’s been very inspirational."
Prakash Bisht, Head, Accounts |

"We have several challenges in developing economies like China and India. One is to be able to keep up with market growth. Another is to customize to local needs. An example is our recent decision to have Chinese crew on flights in and out of China. We also adapt our in-flight services in food and entertainment for example. The Alibaba vs. eBay case was very inspiring to me. It made me wonder about our website – already available in Chinese – and whether we should customize it even further. A thought-provoking session!"
Mark Arxhoek, Regional Commercial Director Greater China |
|
|
"This is my third OWP and it has been very useful for me from both a personal and business perspective. I think we live in a world of great opportunities and challenges, so it is important to see the trends, keep an open mind and keep the mind’s eye focused."
Carlos Bartolo, President |
|
|
"OWP has opened up my view and so much of what I've learned can be implemented in my company. A key learning point is that I need to take more time to reflect. I’m here as part of a team, and we have decided that we will now take more time to reflect together on the external environment and what it means for our future."
Birgit Otto, Director |
|
|
"To be successful and sustainable in the future we need to redefine our values and establish new relationships with all stakeholders, from business to governments to society. OWP has been extremely enlightening in helping to formulate what the new uncertainties are, and how to make sustainability work."
Wilson Bricio, President South America |
What
You have never faced tougher stakeholder demands. You are expected to help them make sense of these unprecedented circumstances; to work in new ways to overcome seemingly impossible challenges; to spot and respond to fresh opportunities; to take the helm and guide stakeholders through these unchartered waters; to provide comfort, direction and above all leadership.
You must orchestrate complex resource networks to create sustainable advantage. You need to exude the confidence that comes from clarity of understanding and vision as well as a belief and trust in your team’s capabilities.
Our Faculty has collaborated to create a transformational experience that will help you take control in this difficult environment. The Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP) program will stimulate you by challenging your beliefs and showcasing the future. It will refresh your understanding of key growth and impact drivers and provide critical guidance on how to harness complexity to your advantage.
Participants should come with an open mind ready to learn from thought leaders and peers, to build networks, lead change and take immediate action after the program.
As an individual, you will:
- Cultivate effective responses to today’s business challenges
- Enhance your performance as an orchestrator of resources beyond your direct control, across functions and disciplines and beyond the boundary of your firm
- Expand and mobilize your knowledge support network
- Refresh and restore your confidence to lead purposefully
As a team member, you will:
- Explore and discuss new business perspectives objectively, well away from your normal office environment
- Develop a shared understanding of the priorities and how to implement required change
- Re-assess the roles and performance of team members
- Follow your own team program and re-group each day to share your new knowledge
As a team leader, you can:
- Solve problems and develop action plans with your team to address major strategic challenges
- Improve team effectiveness through experiential learning and intense coaching sessions
Every participant will be in a position to develop an action plan based on his or her OWP experiences.
How
You will learn through timely, practical research material, real-life case studies, active class discussions and extensive group work.
In addition to IMD’s world-class Faculty, you will hear and meet industry experts, CEOs and inspiring thought leaders in fields outside of business.
The world today: Professor Stéphane Garelli will set the scene by unveiling fresh insights from the World Competitiveness Yearbook annual report on the competitiveness of nations.
Challenge your perspectives: We will look at managing risk, the new regulatory environment, overcoming decision-making biases, Asia as a global player, and the role of NGOs.
Harness complexity: We will examine the special challenges arising from managing processes across functions and silos.
Face the future: We will discuss social and organizational trends that will profoundly change the way we work.
Levers for superior performance: For these afternoon master classes, you choose the subjects needed to best run your business.
Science of success: Professor George Kohlrieser will consolidate all of these stimulating sessions so you leave energized, focused and ready to orchestrate winning performance.
