International Senior Executive Programs Taking the Lead in Executive Education
|
By the end of 1997, more than 100 key corporate leaders will have participated
this year in IESE´s unique joint venture programs, which are held
in conjunction with other leading business schools: Harvard University,
Stanford University, the University of Michigan, CEIBS in China and AIE
Argentina.
"It is clear that we are one of the elite in terms of our executive
education programs", says Rory Simpson, the department´s new
director. Simpson, an IESE graduate, came to the department in August from
Disneyland in Paris where he was a strategic analyst. His goal at IESE is
to continue to develop the school´s range of executive programs into
a "world force".
Simpson takes over from Stein Jacobsen, also an IESE alumnus, who launched
the department almost six years ago. Since the ISEP department´s inception,
over 400 managers and executives have passed through the department´s
"doors". Varying from one to two weeks in duration, ISEP programs
take place yearly at carefully-selected sites around the world. Simpson
observes that IESE´s alliances with others of the world´s most
prestigious business institutions have played a pivotal role in the department´s
success. They will continue to do so in the future. "The U.S. institutions
provide expertise from the American perspective, while IESE brings the European
approach and experience to the table", he said.
Two ISEP programs have convened recently, each drawing a diverse group of
participants. The IESE/Harvard University-led Achieving Breakthrough Service-Europe,
held on June 22-27 at Lake Geneva, Switzerland drew participants from about
15 countries, representing companies such as Nokia Telecommunications, ABB
Worldwide, Intel Semiconductor, and BMW Financial Services. Global Program
for Management Development-Europe, a general management program held with
the University of Michigan, June 29 - July 11 in Barcelona included executives
and managers from such companies as AT&T, BASF, Boehringer-Ingelheim,
Dow Corning, Electrolux, Eli Lilly, ICI Polyurethanes and Polaroid. Approximately
15 countries were represented at GPMD.
Next on the ISEP agenda is the IESE/Stanford University program, "Strategic
Management of Technology-based Companies", a two-week management program
for technology-intensive businesses, slated for November 23 - December 5
in Barcelona. Places in the program are still available. "It is the
only program of its kind available to executives today", Simpson says.
