What defines success in executive education? Satisfied participants? Great scores on a post-training quiz? Participants using what they learned back on the job to influence important organizational metrics and KPIs? The article examines the case for taking a more results orientated approach to training design and evaluation for executive level education. Using the example of a TRATON executive education program, it sheds light on how to define a successful return via an impact map and how to shift from an event to a journey paradigm by combining a learning, a behavioral change, and a support layer.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the executive education industry, prompting a major transformation in program delivery. This article examines ESMT Berlin's successful adaptation to remote learning and the lessons learned from the experience. Through the case study of the "Enter the Eurozone" program, the article addresses common assumptions about online learning and presents strategies to enhance engagement and knowledge retention. Networking and peer-to-peer learning were prioritized. The article emphasizes the importance of small-group interactions and gradual integration of non-task related conversations to build trust and foster meaningful relationships. Contrary to the belief that scalability sacrifices customization, the article showcases how online learning can offer a higher degree of individualization. ESMT's approach involved providing a general framework and encouraging participants to apply it to their specific business challenges. In conclusion, the article highlights the positive outcomes of remote learning when supported by a dedicated team of professionals who prioritize learner outcomes and embrace lifelong learning.

How are team dynamics affected by our evermore global and virtualized business context? This innovative, escape-room-styled game, christened in 2019 (rather prophetically) “The Virus” pits executives against imagined cyber criminals. In just 30 minutes, the players must work together and pool their resources to discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in order to stop the cyber attack. The catch? Not everyone is in the same room. Unlike most classic team building challenges, the game does not grant players the luxury of all looking at the same visual or numerical data. Instead, the executives are split into three teams (or “local offices”), each receiving different parts of the puzzle via the in-game app. To succeed, the players must rise to the challenge of sharing this rich contextual information via videoconferencing only. “The Virus” reveals lessons learned for virtual and hybrid collaboration..
