Infosys join hands with Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) to create a comprehensive executive education program. As part of this agreement, Stanford GSB will team with senior Infosys executives to design and deliver a customized strategic leadership development program for the company’s executives, clients and partners.
The executive education program will include a suite of business management skills, as well as courses in corporate innovation processes to help Infosys balance business discipline and capitalist spirit. The office of Executive Education at Stanford GSB and Infosys will deliver the leadership program through in-person and online instruction, as well as live sessions enabled by distance-learning technology.
Dr. Vishal Sikka, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys said, “We want to empower our people to help our clients lead the way in finding the great opportunities of our times, and to uncover new solutions in exemplary new ways. This mandates a step change in our thinking. We are excited to be working with Stanford to build and nurture a workforce that is fully equipped to deliver the next-generation services that our clients are looking for.”
The initiative will include 200 executives who will each participate in a part-time, year-long program in groups of 40 over three years. Executives will be able to test and apply their learning to real business challenges in parallel.
