Open-Book Assessments That Mirror Real Work

We use open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. This approach mirrors how executives operate—drawing on frameworks, data, and resources to craft thoughtful, evidence-based decisions rather than memorising isolated facts.

You will be challenged to analyse complex scenarios, integrate models, evaluate trade-offs, and articulate clear recommendations. The result is a learning experience that builds judgment, not just recall—and prepares you to lead under real-world conditions.
