Beyond Resilience: Leading Through Disruption
Beyond Resilience: The Esade–Singularity Spain Leadership Program is an immersive journey for leaders seeking to move beyond resilience and be ready to compete in the future. Built around practical frameworks, exponential thinking, and strategic vision, the program helps leaders turn disruption into real opportunities and create sustainable value amid accelerating change.
Technology is advancing faster than our ability to understand it. AI is more than a tool: it is reshaping business models and organizations themselves. Geopolitics and the global economy add uncertainty rather than predictable rules, while the environment, energy, and demographics are now permanent challenges. Leaders who make a difference go further: they read disruption as if it were a language. Where others adapt, they transform. Where others wait, they take action.
Welcome to Beyond Resilience!
Knowledge that drives transformation
Singularity Summit Spain 2026, which will take place on November 4th and 5th at the Acciona Auditorium in Madrid, brings together experts and leaders seeking to anticipate and lead technological transformation.
Drawing on its academic and humanistic perspective, Esade contributes to this conversation by promoting leadership that combines innovation, critical thinking, and responsibility to understand technology’s implications for business and society.
Because the future is not just about anticipating change. It is also about making decisions and taking action to create meaningful, positive impact.
At Singularity Summit Spain 2026, Esade will be represented by Esteve Almirall, a professor in the Department of Data, Analytics, Technology and Artificial Intelligence, who will deliver the talk “The Future Was Yesterday: Reinventing Business with AI and Robots.” His session will examine how artificial intelligence and robotics are redefining the business world, creating new opportunities to reinvent business models and transform organizations.

“AI already operates through agents, has wheels in autonomous vehicles, and legs in robots. It doesn’t just transform how we work and live: it redefines which companies can exist and who wins and who loses. Automation is just the beginning. The challenge is to imagine and build what was once impossible.”

“The main challenge of leading a company today is not a lack of ideas or possible futures, but a lack of clarity. With Beyond Resilience, we’ve created a program that offers a new perspective to gain greater strategic clarity and the foresight needed to turn a disruptive environment into future value.
