The IESE GMP
The General Management Program (GMP) provides innovative insights into the complex business challenges that you, as a managing director, vice president or senior executive, face every day. By the end of the program, you will have strengthened your ability to maximize your organization’s performance, achieve excellence in both strategy and change management, and provide the perspective, commitment and shared vision that will take your organization to new levels of success.
Leading in a world shaped by AI
Artificial intelligence is changing every aspect of management. At IESE, AI is not treated as a standalone topic, but as a transformation that affects strategy, leadership, decision-making and the way organizations operate.
Across our programs, you will learn to harness AI effectively while developing the qualities that matter even more in an AI-enabled world: sound judgment, critical thinking, responsibility and the ability to lead people through change.
This approach is grounded in the case method, where AI becomes part of the analysis, discussion and decision-making process.
