Organisations today are increasingly relying on cross-functional collaboration and enterprise-wide coordination to translate strategy into sustained growth and organisational performance. According to Deloitte’s 2026 Global Human Capital Trends report 1 , nearly 70% of business leaders identify adaptability and the ability to coordinate across teams and functions as critical to navigating disruption and driving long-term value creation. As strategy becomes more collaborative and continuous, leaders are expected to move beyond functional silos, align diverse stakeholders, and convert strategic intent into coordinated execution across the enterprise.
In this evolving environment, leadership is no longer defined solely by functional expertise but by the ability to operate at an enterprise level and bringing together strategic thinking, organisational alignment, and execution discipline. Leaders are expected to evaluate complex choices, manage trade-offs across functions, and ensure that strategic priorities are translated into coordinated action and measurable outcomes. ISB’s Executive Programme in Strategy and Leadership is designed to address this shift by equipping professionals with a structured approach to framing strategic decisions, aligning teams and stakeholders, and driving execution in dynamic and uncertain business environments.
