KFBS Executive Education
Kuril Founders B-School (KFBS) | Executive Education | Effective for the 2026 Program Year
Executive Context
The accelerated pace, complexity, and global interconnectedness of business in 2026 require leaders and entrepreneurs to continuously renew their capabilities—strategic, operational, financial, digital, and human. KFBS Executive Education is designed as a lifelong management-development platform that translates contemporary concepts into tools, decisions, and results.
What Changes in 2026
- Blended-first program design: on-campus intensives integrated with live online classrooms and structured asynchronous learning.
- AI-enabled learning and productivity: practical AI for managers, responsible AI, and AI-assisted decision-making embedded into programs.
- Action Learning sprints: every program culminates in a 30–90 day implementation plan, with checkpoints and measurable outcomes.
- Micro-credentials and stackable pathways: participants can stack short modules into certificates and advanced credentials.
- Founder & family-business specialization: deeper content on governance, succession, professionalization, capital strategy, and risk intelligence.
- Simulation + case + lab triad: case method is strengthened with simulations, role plays, and hands-on labs (data, strategy, finance, operations).
- Coaching architecture: optional executive coaching, peer coaching, and leadership diagnostics to ensure behavioural transfer.
- Impact measurement and reporting: learning gains, adoption, and business outcomes tracked for individuals and corporate sponsors.

KFBS Learning Model 2026
KFBS programs are built around a consistent learning architecture that strengthens transfer from classroom to workplace.
Model Pillar | How It Works |
Case Method (Decision by Analogy) | Real situations compel participants to diagnose, debate, and decide—then apply the logic to their organization. |
Simulations and Strategy Games | Teams experience trade-offs in real time—pricing, capacity, negotiation, crisis response, and competitive moves. |
Labs (Tools, Data, AI, and Finance) | Hands-on work with templates, dashboards, risk frameworks, and AI-enabled workflows. |
Peer Learning & Cohort Exchange | Structured interaction among experienced peers across industries, roles, and business models. |
Coaching & Diagnostics (Optional) | Leadership assessments, coaching conversations, and behaviour-change plans aligned to participant goals. |
Action Learning & Implementation | Capstone deliverables and 30–90 day implementation plans, supported by follow-up check-ins. |

KFBS Executive Education is delivered through four complementary routes:
Route | Purpose |
