The Getting Things Done program is designed for business leaders and senior decision-makers from both private and public sectors responsible for driving strategic change initiatives across their organizations.

Using a highly practical approach, the program will empower participants to achieve corporate objectives by framing their decisions from strategic, operational and political perspectives.

The program leverages a wide range of highly dynamic and interactive teaching methodologies, including group discussions, class lectures and breakout sessions with a coach, all aimed to hone your skills as an agent of change. The combination of teaching methods has been strategically designed to foster an optimal learning environment.

The program takes place on IESE’s Barcelona campus.

To ensure participants get the most out of the program, they will be asked to prepare the academic materials provided two weeks before the program’s start date.

The admission process entails a three-step process:

1. Complete and submit the Madrid Edition, Barcelona Edition, New York Edition or Munich Edition.
2. The Executive Education Department will email you to acknowledge receipt and provide further details on program dates, pre-program academic materials and bank details to submit payment.
3. Proceed with the payment of the program’s fee. This is an essential requisite to access the pre-readings and participate in the program. Two weeks before the start date, participants receive an email with a user name to access the IESE Virtual Campus and pre-readings.
