As companies demand clearer outcomes and learners seek tangible career gains, executive education providers are being asked to demonstrate measurable impact like never before.

Courses with specialized focuses and shorter durations are gaining traction, especially for those who can't make longer-term commitments outside of work. Staff at IESE Business School and Rotterdam School of Management give details on why these courses are becoming increasingly appealing.
