Classroom activities: Dynamic learning

Classroom-based activities are developed through participatory classes, in which participants have an opportunity to explain and discuss key management concepts and the design of business development strategies.

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.

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.
