IIM Indore launches strategy and AI programme for executives
IIM Indore is offering an eight-month advanced programme in corporate strategy and business leadership designed for mid-to-senior executives. The curriculum combines traditional strategy training with hands-on AI instruction, including generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
The programme targets professionals with at least five years of work experience who want to strengthen strategic thinking and move toward C-suite roles. It's structured around seven core modules covering strategy formulation, financial decision-making, organizational change, and digital transformation.
Why executives are enrolling now
Corporate leaders increasingly see AI as central to competitive strategy. According to Gartner's 2025 CEO survey, executives view AI as transformative for reshaping operating models and workforce strategies-not just as an efficiency tool.
KPMG reports that 65% of CEOs are actively investing in AI to drive business growth, with emphasis on resilience, risk management, and workforce change. AI is now embedded in long-term strategic planning across organizations.
What the programme covers
The curriculum teaches AI-driven trend analysis, adaptive change management, and data-driven portfolio decisions. Participants gain exposure to generative AI tools and prompt engineering in business contexts.
Core modules include:
- Strategic thinking, corporate growth, and digital platform business models
- Financial statement analysis, corporate valuation, and ESG governance
- Change management and organizational culture
- Organizational design and alignment
- Root cause analysis and systems thinking
- Customer-centric strategy and journey mapping
- AI, machine learning, and digital transformation frameworks
The programme includes a three-day on-campus immersion at IIM Indore plus live online sessions on Sundays. Participants complete case studies, simulations, and a capstone project applying concepts to real business problems.
Who should apply
The programme is designed for mid-to-senior executives, entrepreneurs, corporate strategists, and team leaders seeking strategic advancement. Applicants need five or more years of work experience and a minimum of 50% marks in undergraduate studies.
