Companies have asked for a growing share of executive education courses to be delivered online in recent months, in a reversal of a post-pandemic trend to return to in-person training, according to the latest FT rankings of leading business schools.
The proportion of tailored “custom” programmes provided online by schools to corporate clients rose sharply from 19 per cent in 2022 to 30 per cent last year. A further 22 per cent of courses were offered in “blended” format, with in-person and online components.
Insead, based in France and Singapore, was ranked first by the FT among 90 providers of custom executive education courses, ahead of Iese of Spain, IMD of Switzerland, and Duke Corporate Education of the US.
