Executive Education

At IE Business School, we view Executive Education as a way for managers, directors and company leaders to update skills, learn the latest trends and practices, and to network with other experts and managers. Executive Education addresses key issues such as increased competition, global and increasingly interdependent economies, more dynamic markets, fast-paced technological evolution, shrinking product lifecycle, constantly changing consumer habits, and corporate responsibility. Ultimately, Executive Education will address these issues and guide executives in confronting them. Our aim is to renew executives’ global vision, competitive edge, efficiency, commitment, entrepreneurial spirit, and their motivation within a globally recognized institution, reinforcing their international perspectives. The programs we develop, both open and in-company, are designed to transfer knowledge directly from the classroom to the workplace, resulting in a measurable impact on the company, and seek to provide a superior learning experience that will have a direct impact on your overall business management performance.
Executive Education at IE is characterized by three facets: its proven role in executive development, its global character, and innovation and creativity.
Executive Development
The first axis of IE’s Executive Education model, Executive Development, endeavours to respond to the challenges and
anticipate opportunities for the development of leadership in private and public organizations. This is achieved by
applying a methodology that combines activities based on formation and development with the implementation of
practical and responsible solutions to organizational problems. Executive Development improves the personal capacities
that make Executives more effective in positions of leadership. The systematic development of management skills is vital
for the improvement of processes and organizational effectiveness.
Global Character
The Global Character of IE’s Executive Education is evident in the international nature of the programs we offer and our
multinational clients. When developing programs, transnational coherence is virtually always a requisite. This means that
both the contents and the culture of business must be integrated into each program while leaving room for any local
adaptation that may be required. This duality is made possible thanks to the use of up-to- the minute technologies applied
to learning, our relations with the corporate world and the international nature of both participants and Faculty at IE.
Innovation and Creativity
One of the defining aspects of Innovation and Creativity in IE’s Executive Education programs is our investment in e-learning:
proven and recognized for our leadership in the application of new technologies to education by developing and offering
programs that utilize a combination of online and face-to- face training. The differentiating factors that contribute to the
success of our e-learning model for managers are the combination of residential and online learning, carefully planned
curricula and activities, the implementation of small virtual work groups and the constant performance evaluation of both
work groups and individual participants. Another key factor for success is the pivotal role of the Professor who acts as the
instigator for each virtual class, prompting and guiding discussion towards the main issues at hand. Inspired by this new
learning approach, our Faculty and the Program Directors introduce the inherent flexibility not only in the delivery, but also
in the content (multimedia cases) and structure of the training initiatives.
