The Senior Management Programme is not your typical management programme. So this is about individualised leadership development. What we’re really interested in is a transformation experience.
As I’m currently in a career transition, moving from a functional leader to a more senior management role, I was really looking for something that could support me in this transition.
The Senior Management Programme has many faculty members from Cambridge Judge Business School. They will bring in the latest cutting research insights into the classroom.
From a professional perspective, I really like the deep dive into what’s currently happening in the environment– transforming economies, moving from product-based to platform-based businesses, and how do we strategise around this transformation were one of the key highlights for me.
It’s completely based on latest research, the latest studies, which will obviously help me through everything. It’s very difficult to define in it practical words.
It was an inclusive social learning environment. We had business leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians. We had a former Olympian that came to us, which was really exciting for me. And also, we had faculty members here who have vast experience working with corporate leaders.
Yes, the programme is about content skills, knowledge, but the programme is really about transformation of the participants.
It was really important for me to have this programme accompanied by a coaching session. So coaching really helped me to better understand who am I as a leader, where is it I can contribute, where’s my passion, and eventually where are on my blind spots? What is it I do not see, and what can I do to improve to be better in leading in the future?
I felt it was really so much like it was personalised and made for me to learn. And that was very liberating for me.
The people and the network you have taken away from this Business School, from a participant’s perspective, but also from a faculty perspective, it’s all high-calibre people that are here.
I have a support group of faculty members who is going to work with me to ensure I succeed as a leader and I implement the changes that my company needs to undertake to survive for the next five to 10 years.
I can only recommend this programme to anyone who wants to transform from either a functional leader to a more senior leader, but also to leaders who are simply interested in what’s currently going on in the environment, and how does the current technological transformation change the way how we run organisations, and how we strategise in organisations.
India’s banking industry is moving into a new era obviously. Definitely, Cambridge Senior Management will help me to get and grasp each and every of the banking industry’s challenges.
If you are really serious as a leader, to become a leader of tomorrow, and to be able to adapt, transform, and innovate, this course is a must to attend. Because you will achieve a higher rate of return of investment than you would have imagined. And for that, I think this is what this course brings to me and everybody else who’s attending it.

Programme testimonial
Amitesh Ramesh – past participant on Cambridge Senior Management Programme
“Hello my name is Amitesh
I attended the Cambridge Senior Management programme – which I found to be one of the most enriching, challenging and fulfilling experiences I have had in my life.
I was in serious awe most times with the knowledge being imparted and the way it was articulated, framed, and structured. The faculty members were amazing in sharing the programme content and applying their contributions to their respective fields.
Every faculty member that was part of the programme, was amazing – just wow.
I need to sincerely thank Dr Kishore Sengupta, Hannah Main, Allison Wheeler-Heau, and Suzanne Weeks, for their kindness during the entire program and for the time and attention given to us – our needs and comfort. They are genuine professionals and mentors and I can only hope that I too (in time) can build such wonderful teams, gain respect and deliver notable contributions to my field.
The program was heavily influential in providing me with the skill-set and validating that I was on the right path or seeking the right path to enable me to obtain my current job at Ecom Express Limited.
I have used the programme take-aways to help navigate and deliver my assigned responsibilities much much better. The skills developed have provided me with the toolkit to cascade my learnings to my work colleagues – demonstrating how to challenge processes, how to interact and respond to day-to-day occurrences.
And Hence, noticing my acumen and composure, during some of the testing times the organizational leadership revised my designation and grade within 7 months of recruitment I am excited for my professional development to continue in the forthcoming months. If you are considering this – I wish you the very best and you are in the best hands.”
