Teaching Model

The ESADE Executive Education Business School teaching model emerges from our value of social responsibility and human development of the executive as both a professional and a person. This is clearly represented in our society by the unique management style of our alumni and their teams.

Based on this philosophy and in synch with our focus on strong leadership, transparency, community, entrepreneurial spirit, cooperation, ethics, confidence, and diversity, we have developed our differentiated teaching methodology.

ESADE Executive Education Business School programs are open forums to exchange ideas and knowledge, where every individual is an active participant in the learning process. Our methodology constantly challenges preconceived ideas and traditional educational processes.

Our material research and accumulated experience demonstrate that a single effective methodology does not exist. The appropriate methodology depends on the objectives of each program, the skills that need to be exercised, and the attitudes and behavior that must be strengthened. Included among the tools that we use for the development of teaching methodology are:

  • Case studies
  • Business simulations
  • Role plays
  • Interactive workshops
  • Outdoor training
  • Self-management techniques
  • In-company projects
  • LEAD Program

Classroom training is developed through a participatory style that employs group projects, presentations, and virtual simulations, among others. Participants explore and debate key management concepts and the design of a corporate development strategy.

Our programs combine academic study and active training on the most relevant topics in management, putting special emphasis on the practical application of the concepts developed.

Outdoor training activities offer a forum for learning and for personal and team development away from the conventional classroom. Instructors take on the role of facilitators and expert observers. These activities usually introduce real situations that must be solved through mental, analytical, leadership, teamwork and organizational skills.

Undoubtedly, the key to the success of this teaching model is the participants themselves. Through the exchange of experiences they enhance the knowledge that is acquired inside and out of the classroom. The selection of participants, group discussions, working lunches, social activities all promote dynamic interchanges and relationships among peers from different countries, business environments, and management cultures. The participants establish enduring friendships and an wide network that extends beyond the course.

Executive Education learning processes use Information Technology to provide immediate access to great quantities of resources, information, databases, and other business material. Through the Internet and the program's own Intranet, IT becomes an integrated factor of the learning experience.

The faculty that delivers our programs combines, teaching with research, consulting, and business management responsibilities. These different perspectives guarantee high academic quality through the introduction of innovations in the academic content, practical applications and educational methodologies.

The Custom Programs are tailored-made according to the specific needs of an organization. The most suitable academic team is selected to design, deliver and manage the best training solution.
