Beyond Resilience
Technology is advancing faster than our ability to understand it. And AI is more than just a tool; it is transforming business models and organizations themselves. Today’s geopolitics and global economy are only adding greater uncertainty, instead of providing predictable rules of the game. The environment, energy, and demographics already represent permanent challenges.
Leaders that make a difference go one step further: They see and understand disruption as if it were a language. Where others adapt, they transform. Where others wait, they become energized. Welcome to Beyond Resilience!
Why choose this program?
Esade and the Singularity Summit Spain have joined together to provide this exclusive experience that combines academic rigor with a transformative view of the future.
Other programs provide knowledge. Some provide inspiration. Beyond Resilience provides both, serving as a bridge between them to make change possible.
A high-level experience outside the classroom.
Access to the Singularity Summit Spain and the ability to interact with Silicon Valley experts.
A solid academic structure to interpret, activate, and apply everything you learn.
Learning dynamics to help turn ideas into real actions.
The program provides access to an Esade micro-credential.
The degree obtained upon completion of the program will be Leadership and Management of Disruption.
Learning outcomes
Upon completing this program, you will not only have acquired valuable knowledge and insights; you’ll also come away with a daring and exponential mindset, capable of seeing opportunities where you only saw uncertainty before.
You will walk away with:
- Clarity on how AI and exponential technologies will reshape your industry
- A reframed strategic perspective on your organization and role as a leader
- A roadmap for unlocking new value across different scenarios
- A concrete “next move”: a bold initiative or strategic direction
- A structured approach to building non-linear competitive advantage in the long term

Degree
The program provides access to a university microcredential, a university-specific degree issued by Ramon Llull University.
From the academic period 2025-2026, some Esade programs are now part of a university microcredential, a new way to add even more value to your education. These microcredentials are university-specific degrees issued by Ramon Llull University, which allow you to accumulate ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits and the possibility of linking them to other academic programs within the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In practice, this means that the credits obtained in these programs could be recognized* in future university studies, offering you greater flexibility, academic advancement, and the value of your educational investment.
*This recognition will be subject to the approval of the host university and the type of training to be recognized.

En entornos disruptivos, donde el cambio se produce a gran velocidad y la incertidumbre es elevada, se necesita orientación y un espacio en el que compartir inquietudes y perspectivas. Programas como el de Esade crean ese espacio de forma casi natural, con el respaldo de profesores con un profundo conocimiento y amplia experiencia.

La inspiración que se obtiene del programa es increíble, pero también puede resultar abrumadora: demasiadas ideas a la vez. Lo que marca la diferencia es que Esade te ayuda a comprender cómo aplicar todo ello en la vida real. Esa es la parte más útil del programa.
