academy+ | Comming Q1 2027
Transformation demands more from leaders. Academy+ is being built to develop them.
Academy+ is the Institute’s new executive leadership platform for the people responsible for making digital and business transformation happen.
Built on the Institute’s independent research, Executive Advisor experience, and proven transformation methodologies, Academy+ will bring executives together to learn, connect, apply, and lead, building the knowledge, practical capability, trusted relationships, and confidence needed to turn transformation challenges into measurable organizational progress.
Join the interest list for updates and early opportunities to participate.
THE ACADEMY+ APPROACH
Executive Education Should Change What You Can Do. Not Just What You Know.
As an Executive you have no shortage of information. The challenge is turning knowledge into the judgment, capability, and action required to lead through real transformation.
Academy+ is being built around that gap.
Rather than separating learning from the realities leaders face every day, Academy+ will bring them together. Executives will explore research backed ideas, learn from experienced practitioners, exchange perspectives with peers, and apply Institute frameworks to the kinds of complex business challenges you are responsible for solving.
The goal is not simply to leave knowing more.
It is to leave better equipped to lead what comes next.
HOW CAPABILITY DEVELOPS
From Learning to Leadership
Academy+ is built around how transformation capability actually develops.
LEARN
Build the knowledge to see the challenge differently.
Access research backed perspectives, proven methodologies, and practitioner insight that help leaders understand the forces shaping digital and business transformation.
CONNECT
Learn with leaders facing challenges as complex as yours.
Build trusted relationships with executive peers, Institute Fellows, Executive Advisors, researchers, practitioners, and guest faculty, creating an environment for candid exchange and diverse perspectives.
APPLY
Turn insight into something you can use.
Work with Institute frameworks, real use cases, and collaborative solutioning to translate concepts into practical approaches for real business challenges.
LEAD
Take capability back into the organization.
Build the strategic confidence, practical skills, and leadership perspective needed to mobilize people, make better decisions, and drive measurable transformation.
LEARNING EXPERIENCES
Different Challenges Require Different Ways to Learn.
Academy+ will not be a traditional course catalog. Learning experiences will take different forms depending on the depth of the challenge, the leaders involved, and the outcome being pursued.
Cohorts
Go deeper alongside a trusted group of peers.
Multi session, immersive leadership experiences combining research backed learning, interactive peer exchange, practical application, and facilitation from Institute Fellows and Executive Advisors.
Mastery Sessions
Take one important challenge from understanding to executable insight.
Deep, interactive experiences centered on a specific transformation topic or real world use case. Participants examine the challenge together, explore different perspectives, and collaboratively develop practical approaches they can take forward.
Executive Roundtables
Put the challenges leaders are facing on the table.
Small group conversations designed for candid discussion around timely business and transformation issues. Institute research and practitioner perspectives add context to the conversation, with insights translated into practical takeaways participants can use beyond the session.
Exclusive Learning
Stay ahead of what is changing around you.
Invitation only experiences shaped by emerging market events, strategic priorities, industry challenges, and the issues Institute executives, Fellows, Advisors, and Institute Members identify as requiring deeper exploration.
Community
The Learning Continues After the Session Ends.
Build capability. Build relationships. Build your leadership community.
Transformation leadership can be isolating. The most difficult decisions rarely have obvious answers, and executives benefit from trusted relationships with people who understand the complexity of leading meaningful change.
Academy+ is being designed to create those relationships.
Participants will engage with a community that brings together executive peers, Institute Fellows, Executive Advisors, researchers, practitioners, and guest faculty, connecting different experiences and perspectives around the shared challenge of leading transformation.
The objective is something more enduring than a learning event:
A trusted community where leaders continue to exchange ideas, challenge thinking, learn from one another, and grow together.
WHO IT IS FOR
For Leaders Who Make Transformation Happen
Academy+ is being designed for experienced leaders who are not simply studying transformation. They are accountable for leading it.
Enterprise Leaders
Executives responsible for setting direction, aligning the organization, making consequential decisions, and leading through disruption and change.
Transformation Leaders
Senior leaders charged with translating transformation ambition into coordinated action across functions, people, processes, customers, and technology.
Emerging Executive Leaders
