The programme combines various teaching methodologies: Lectures delivered by professors and presentations given by executives involved in the area.
Classroom activities: Dynamic learning
Classroom-based activities provide an ideal framework to promote an exchange of knowledge and experience in order to create a learning community capable of putting theory into practice. The programme lasts a total of 14 full-time sessions.
Residential activities
These non-classroom activities provide learning on personal and group development, using the group's background knowledge and experience as basic learning materials
Interaction
One of the key elements of this learning model is undoubtedly the contribution from the participants themselves, which serves to enrich knowledge acquired in and out of the classroom. Participant selection, group discussions, working lunches and social activities are aimed to promote dynamic exchange and knowledge-sharing among peers from different sectors and organisations. Participants establish friendships and a network of contacts that go beyond the programme and continue outside the classroom.
Technology
In Executive Education learning processes, IT use offers immediate access to large amounts of resources of all kinds including information, databases and other business sources. Using the Internet and the programme's website, IT becomes a factor of the learning experience itself. Participants will also have access to other material and documentation.
Programme portal
This portal is an additional tool provided by ESADE Business School, which participants can use to download documents and course material, receive and send texts and access a wide variety of information sources. It is primarily intended for participants to make better use of and develop the programme and prepare their final assignments. The continued use of the portal is essential in terms of achieving a fluid interaction among participants, professors and the institution itself.
Final Assignment
This programme goes beyond classroom-based management development training, and learning is complemented with the direct application of programme contents to the reality of participants own organisations. With the support of a personal Faculty Advisor, each participant chooses a final assignment which will be developed in the course of the programme.
Work on this project facilitates and accelerates the implementation of knowledge in the areas of personal responsibility and provides participants and their companies with concrete and tangible results in the short term.
