The Dean's Strategic Priorities

Global reach

IESE will strive to increase global reach and scope, deepening its presence in North America, Latin America and Central Europe. With the growing importance of Asia, we will focus efforts on building greater presence and activities in the region.

Lifelong learning

Globalization, digitization and the lengthening of working careers have made lifelong learning a key priority. For IESE there is an imperative to ensure that MBA and Executive Education programs continue to meet the needs of business leaders throughout their working lives.

Digitization and learning and development

IESE must equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, capabilities and management skills to confront tomorrow’s challenges. We believe that the best learning methodology is personal interaction and class discussion, but we have also witnessed the benefits of blended learning, which incorporates online elements and other technologies. Combining both worlds, we will continue developing cutting-edge methodologies that allow us to offer the best solution for each educational need.

Transformational impact

IESE remains committed to its mission to serve society in general and the business world in particular, through innovation and academic activities that address the new challenges of our time.
