A unique experience
Esade’s Executive MBA is a 20-month, part-time program for senior executives, allowing them to combine work with the very best in management education. The Executive MBA program has been designed to help you become a global leader who can inspire and drive change within companies, lead with confidence in uncertain settings, and bring new perspectives to the challenges that companies and managerial teams face.
A transformative program like no other
As a leader, it’s your job to anticipate and influence the future. You have to stand at the border between “now” and “next,” working to shape the future and make it happen. Leading people requires communicating your vision in a way that motivates others to follow you.
The Executive MBA program is designed in four phases, each covering a cluster of related subjects. Together, they help you to think differently - expanding your awareness, developing your creativity, and strengthening your power to transform.
