Summary/Abstract: This study examines key trends and challenges in executive education focused on digital transformation, based on a survey of graduates of the Digital Transformation Executive Program of the Warsaw School of Economics (Poland). Results show that participants primarily sought to enhance digital and leadership skills, with hybrid and in-person learning formats strongly preferred over online delivery. Practical, interactive methods were rated as most effective, and smaller groups fostered better engagement. The programme improved participants’ technological understanding and confidence in leading change, though career advancement effects were less pronounced. The findings suggest that executive education should combine theoretical depth with hands-on learning, integrate hybrid formats, and emphasise both digital and emotional intelligence to prepare leaders for continuous technological change.
