Faculty engagement Several NEXUS members leveraged the opportunity to access IMD faculty for advisory discussions on specific themes, bringing outside-in perspectives and expert insights to inspire and engage larger numbers of leaders in their organizations. For example, IMD facilitated a webinar series on leadership for a humanitarian NGO, as well as webinars on curiosity and digital challenges for other clients. A new platform for thought leadership The IMD communications team launched the I by IMD content hub and quarterly magazine in 2021, showcasing faculty and industry expertise to produce insightful and timely written and audio-visual content for the IMD community and a global audience. The practice and solution focused hub offers first- person business intelligence from the brightest thinkers in academia, business and society, covering the latest issues in management, strategy, technology, finance, team building and innovation. Leveraging the wealth of insight on this new knowledge hub, NEXUS members benefitted from customized newsletters and learning content nudges for partners in 2021, from co-branded topical publications for team members to sharing podcasts and relevant articles. For example, IMD created personalized I by IMD homepages for clients such as ABB and Nestlé, and developed a thought leadership newsletter for Sonova.

“Our Connect & Learn webinar series for ICRC leaders and managers across the world was introduced in 2021. In collaboration with the ICRC, IMD’s faculty shared their research and learnings on key topics of interest responding to some of our organizational challenges. Themes covered included building organizational resilience, leading in the ‘new normal’ and strengthening trust / psychological safety. IMD faculty were able to adapt their content to the ICRC’s humanitarian context and help guide meaningful exchanges. IMDwas a wonderful partner and each event was smoothly executed.” MOHINI GHAI KRAMER GLOBAL HEAD OF LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC)
