Dear OWP liVe participant, The September 2022 liVe edition of our inspirational signature program, Orchestrating Winning Performance (OWP), was an exemplar of the very creative and differentiated ways that IMD has found to make leadership development more inspiring, more relevant, and more sustainably impactful. It was a stimulating and inspiring week as we explored the theme: “how to reset for sustainable and inclusive growth”. Through the flexibility of the “OWP liVe” virtual delivery, we reached a wide global audience through technology-mediated interactions. We were honored to connect hundreds of international executives across 12 time zones to enjoy thought-provoking sessions,

Professor Michael Watkins’ advice during his keynote address, that leaders need to strike the balance between self-confidence and humility, also resonated deeply with me as we navigate these turbulent times. One of the truly unique advantages of the flexible OWP liVe design is that as a participant, you could take part in interactive virtual sessions and replay recorded sessions in your own time. I encourage you to revisit your key sessions and review your notes in the coming weeks and months. You will see that this helps you to absorb the new business trends, thought leadership, and insights around business topics that are critical for you and your organization.

Faculty and industry experts covered the full spectrum of post-pandemic challenges in their sessions, enabling each OWP liVe participant to focus on the challenges and opportunities most relevant to them and their organization. I was touched by the reflection of one of our keynote speakers, Keryn James. She shared that, as leaders, we need to be courageous and focus on the long-term game. At the same time, we need to recognize the need to act with urgency, given the complexity and gravity of the challenges we face.
