New approaches to managing and learning in the health sector

Effective health care is about more than acquiring sound technical medical expertise and resources – it also requires leadership, sound decision-making skills, and expertise to link resources together in order to provide quality patient care. In addition, it requires a willingness to innovate in how health care services are delivered.

There is a rapid and continuing evolution in our knowledge and understanding of health care science, technology and practice. The Middle East Health Leadership Programme is designed to provide a select group of individuals with an educational experience that will equip them with concepts, tools, techniques and strategies to play significant leadership roles in the rapidly changing and extremely challenging world of health care. The programme is designed for a new group of Middle Eastern leaders who are deeply committed to helping their organisations and health care systems fulfil their missions.

The programme is a collaborative undertaking between INSEAD, one of the world’s leading business schools, and Johnson & Johnson Corporate Citizenship Trust (the Trust), part of the world’s leading health care companies.

Great minds don’t think alike

INSEAD’s professors represent many cultures, disciplines, and perspectives. Led by acknowledged world experts in their own particular fields, programme faculty remain intimately close to business and most are engaged in cross-disciplinary research.*
