WHAT
You are facing volatility, uncertainty and ambiguity
in your daily business, and staying at the forefront
of these changes is not easy. IMDs Orchestrating
Winning Performance program is designed to
help you and your team respond quickly to fresh
opportunities, guide stakeholders through these
uncharted waters, and provide comfort, direction
and above all leadership.

NEW OWP IN SINGAPORE

For the second time in 2014, the program
will be offered in two locations:
Lausanne and Singapore.
In Singapore, the program is based on the
same winning format, but focuses more
specifically on the needs and challenges
of executives and companies operating or
planning to operate in Asia.

OWP offers you in one week an

overview of the world today looking
at the latest management practices
and trends. It also provides you
with practical guidelines, which you
can apply immediately to your own
business context.

will help you take control in this difficult environment. Each year, we develop
a unique program no single edition is the same where we integrate the
very best of IMDs latest and most innovative research, to address the current
major global trends.
Orchestrating Winning Performance is an incredible opportunity
to learn anything you want in business management whether you
want to get up to speed on topics you are experienced in or delve

topics such as how to deal with constant change or with competing
priorities in both your work and personal life.
