Director’s foreword

Pr. Pascale PATAT-DUBOUIS

Academic Director of the Executive MBA

Today’s organizations need changemakers who have the analytical, strategic and human skills that will enable them to inspire their teams and stakeholders towards a sustainable future. The philosophy behind the Executive track is to provide executives and managers with the knowledge, competences and confidence to develop their positive leadership and create sustainable performance for their organizations. These two pillars, alongside the development of a strategic mindset in a changing world, and the leadership of innovation, form the four key competences that you will develop through a series of interactive sessions, integrative projects, and two learning expeditions.

During the program, you will interact with subject-matter experts who also have corporate exposure, and with other executives whose experience in different roles, sectors and cultures will enable you to put your own experience in perspective and enrich it. Alongside covering the essentials of contemporary business and management, the personalized elements of the program, especially the one-to-one career and personal development coaching and the professional consultancy memoire, will enable you to take stock of your experience to identify and pursue ambitious personal and career objectives through personal transformation.

Whether you are considering boosting your existing career, further asserting your legitimacy, are contemplating a change of professional direction, or would like to better leverage your experience and expertise, IÉSEG MBA – Executive track will provide you with the competences and the confidence to lead at a higher level towards a sustainable future. All the best as you undertake this transformational and rewarding journey.
