The Making of an Enterprise Leader: XLRI’s Advanced Diploma Explained

Today’s senior leaders operate in a VUCA world. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are not occasional disruptions, but daily realities. Decisions are no longer confined to one function. Every call impacts growth, governance, risk, culture, and long-term profitability. Functional excellence alone is no longer enough.

To lead at the enterprise level, CXOs must think systemically, balance competing priorities, and make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information.

Join this faculty-led program preview webinar to understand how XLRI’s Executive Diploma in Advanced Business Strategies for CXOs is designed to help experienced leaders make this transition from functional experts to enterprise-wide decision-makers.
