Candidates for this select programme must be top executives from large and medium-sized firms, entrepreneurs, or senior executives from the public sector. They should be at very senior phases of their career and have significant leadership roles. Typically, candidates are CEOs or board members.

In the confidential application form, candidates are required to detail their objectives and personal profile. Acceptance is very much influenced by the quality of responses to these questions. Potential candidates will be interviewed by the Programme Director. Applicants should also note that acceptance to the programme implies a full commitment to be present for the duration of the four modules.
