- IIM Kozhikode and Emeritus launch a CFO programme featuring a certificate course from Kellogg Executive Education, aiming to strengthen finance professionals’ strategic decision-making, financial management and leadership skills.
The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM Kozhikode) has partnered with Emeritus to launch a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) programme designed to prepare finance professionals for senior leadership roles. The programme also features a certificate course from Kellogg Executive Education, offering participants exposure to global perspectives on financial strategy, leadership and business management.
The programme aims to help finance professionals move beyond traditional accounting and financial reporting responsibilities towards strategic decision-making and enterprise leadership. As organisations navigate digital transformation, changing regulations and economic uncertainty, CFOs are increasingly expected to contribute to business growth, risk management and long-term corporate strategy.
The curriculum is designed to cover key areas of financial leadership, including corporate finance, strategic financial management, financial planning and analysis, risk management, capital allocation and corporate governance. It also focuses on leadership capabilities, communication and the use of data-driven insights to support organisational decisions.
Through the collaboration, participants gain access to IIM Kozhikode’s management expertise and a certificate course from Kellogg Executive Education. Emeritus supports programme delivery and provides access to professional learning opportunities for working executives seeking to strengthen their managerial and technical capabilities.
The programme is intended for experienced finance professionals, senior managers and aspiring CFOs who want to broaden their understanding of business operations and develop the skills required to lead finance functions. It also aims to help participants understand the relationship between financial performance, business strategy and organisational objectives.
The partnership reflects the growing demand for executive education that combines financial expertise with leadership development. As finance functions increasingly integrate artificial intelligence, automation and advanced analytics into their operations, senior finance leaders must be able to interpret business data, evaluate investment decisions and communicate strategic priorities to stakeholders.
By bringing together IIM Kozhikode, Emeritus and Kellogg Executive Education, the initiative seeks to provide finance professionals with opportunities to strengthen their leadership capabilities and prepare for evolving responsibilities in corporate finance.
Prospective participants should consult the official programme information for details regarding eligibility, duration, fees, course modules and the application process.
