Telecom strategy fails most often at the join: trends are analysed, positions are chosen, but the KPIs, funding and risk responses never line up behind the choice. This demanding programme runs the full strategic arc for the converged telecom and media industry — identifying the key sources of strategic value, analysing technology, market and business-model trends, and staking out a sustainable ecosystem position. Participants assess the viability of strategic business models and financing options, design corporate and cross-functional KPIs that align, and pressure-test strategy against the industry’s key risks. Concepts are applied throughout to a realistic business simulation, and carried home through a post-programme implementation plan. The cohort finishes with a clear strategic vision they can defend.

Frequently asked
What does the telecom curriculum cover?
The commercial and leadership side of the operator business: telecom strategy, digital leadership, branding and customer engagement, customer focus, business analytics and big data for managers, and negotiation for technology deals. Participants leave able to build a segment strategy, read their own customer data critically, and close the deals that data supports.
Are the programmes aimed at commercial or technical teams?
Commercial and leadership teams first — strategy, marketing, customer experience and analytics leaders in operators moving beyond connectivity revenue. No network-engineering background is required; the programmes work on the decisions those teams own, not the equipment.
In which languages and formats do telecom programmes run?
English and French, delivered in the classroom, as live virtual cohorts or in hybrid format. Any programme can also run in-house for a single operator, tailored to its market and competitive position.
