Imperial College Business School, Executive Education

Sometimes you’ve got to step back to move forward. Drawing on Imperial College’s long tradition of questioning and discovery, we’ve created a safe yet dynamic place for business people to explore, experiment and develop.

Our immersive Executive Education programmes are led by Imperial College Business School’s world-renowned team of academics and experts. Focused and practical, they cover the full spectrum of business and technology.

We go beyond the classroom too. Using our unique Impact Lab™ approach, we’ll work with you to generate creative – often surprising – ideas to transform or reframe your business. By stepping back and experimenting with us, you’ll uncover ingenious ways to move your organisation forward.

The Impact Lab™

To think differently, you need to learn differently. Through our immersive Impact Lab™ approach to Executive Education, you’ll be challenged to unpick your current thinking and exposed to bold, new ideas.

You’ll go way beyond the classroom. Impact Lab™ is more than an approach. It’s a series of expert guest speakers, cultural visits and provocative, interactive experiences designed to test you in unfamiliar environments and scenarios.

Take the Performance Simulator at the Royal College of Music. Here, you’ll be out on your own delivering a speech or report to a demanding virtual audience. Then there’s the Carbon Capture Lab.

This simulation will see you split into one of two groups: one on a North Sea oil rig and the other back at the plant on dry land. An alarm goes off and you can only communicate via email. With the clock ticking and the pressure mounting, will you and the other team be able to fi nd a solution?

How much risk will you take?

Maybe you will be exposed to the Inflatable Operations Theatre where you can see surgeons and patients interacting during an operation. Understanding customers can be learnt in very different ways. We choose to take you out of your comfort zone and learn by analogy and through experience – in a more dramatic way than anywhere else indeed – what a truly customer centric approach is.

This is high-impact learning designed to inspire and get you thinking differently.
