London Business School wanted to innovate executive education in the digital space with a fluid, flexible approach that upheld the school’s reputation for excellence while showcasing its always-innovative nature.
Challenge
The digital world has come to executive education, and
London Business School wanted to do it right. They
partnered with Intrepid to create their first online executive
education program, appropriately titled “Innovating in the
Digital World.”
“We were initially interested in Intrepid because it doesn’t look at all like an LMS, and that we can show our corporate students a clear path and an amazing learning experience. ”
Sushil Pallen - Learning Innovation Manager, London Business School
Solution
Full of short-form content, context, and on-the-job
application, London Business School’s Innovating in the
Digital World is attended by high-level C-suite executives
across a wide swath of industries and countries. Intrepid enabled them to scale globally in a way they never could before with their in-person programmes.
“The Intrepid platform has allowed us to move into the fully digital world of executive education without losing a bit of what makes London Business School unique.”
Sushil Pallen - Learning Innovation Manager, London Business School
The aim of the course is for each learner to take an innovation
challenge from their organization and turn it into an
innovation experiment by the end, working each week on
their particular situation and sharing the steps with others
in the cohort. Other content includes business cases, videos
from expert professors, and moderated discussion forums.
At the end of the course, passing students receive a digital
certification they can use on LinkedIn.
