%X Abstract Executive development is imperative to organisational development and design. As organisations witness transformations in the internal and external environments, there is a need to equip executives with relevant skills, perspectives and competencies. The education provided by business schools may help to a limited extent for here and now. Rapid changes in the environment render earlier learning obsolete. Thus, a broad-based programme that encompasses skills, knowledge, perspectives and experiential components helps individuals in their organisational journeys and growth. It starts with settling in (through induction). It further proceeds to gaining a broader outlook over general and functional roles and knowledge. The trajectory further enables individuals explore leadership maps and definitions of the systems, structures and processes that they are a part of. Along with the central key functions, it has also become essential to comprehend the fact that our organisational roles interact with our social roles, mainly within the family and the larger context. This article also is an attempt to understand how management institutes, in-company training programmes and open programmes can facilitate in designing programmes to execute the same by including growth at different stages of personal, social and workspaces. From time to time, it is important to reflect, renew and take initiatives for the renewal and regeneration of the self, collectivity and the organisation
