The API's Executive Insights program in a unique program that raises awareness of the strategic challenges and opportunities in the power sector, and shares the leading thinking on how we can all take action.
It leverages the API’s strong relationships with leading organisations in the power sector, and on a practical level, benefits from the significantly increased access to senior leaders that has been made possible in recent years.
Learn more about the program, what to expect and the outcomes in our Professional Programs Booklet.
The Executive Insights modules are linked to, and occur before the API's flagship residential 2-week Summer School and the issues raised by the Executives become the focus of discussion and the Strategic Challenge activities during the school.
Read the Executive Insight Challenges and responses from the 2023 Summer School+ Delegates.
The live presentations on the Exec Insights Challenge Questions by the Summer School participants are viewed by a live audience of 100+ people and broadcast to a broader online audience (some viewed live and through recordings).
Providing this option allows participants of the Executive Insights program (who don’t attend the full Summer School) to hear from current leaders who they may not otherwise connect with.
such as the Early Career stream participants in the Powerful Women Leadership Program or the graduates, PhDs and early career academics in the Exec Insights Early Career Stream.
These participants also benefit from the API’s ‘vertical integration’ of current leaders and the next generation of leaders who attend the Summer School, gaining access to the further input and analysis from these operational leaders in power sector organisations (Summer School participants are predominantly technical team members with 5-15 years experience).
Who is the Executive Insights program for?
The Exec Insights program is embedded into the API's Summer School program and by association into the Powerful Women Leadership Program's Professional stream (which includes the Summer School).
It is also a core part of the Powerful Women Leadership Program's Early Career Stream for grads and undergrads (who attend the end of the Summer School and watch the live presentations at the School).
