The PLD turns managers into leaders. Building on their experience and knowledge, participants will broaden their views and discover a global vision of the organisation and General Management that business leaders need today. They will learn from top educators using the latest techniques in business education, and they will develop a dynamic network of present and future leaders that will enrich their experience throughout their careers. Contact with the Business World Classroom sessions will be supplemented by opportunities to discuss current events with prominent business and economic leaders in relaxed settings. Guest executives will offer a presentation on an issue of concern in the business world, then participate in a roundtable discussion with the participants. Participants will also be able to visit companies in each region where sessions are held to learn about local specifics of doing business in Europe. Esade Alumni: A Prestigious Network Once participants have finished their studies, they become part of the extensive ESADE alumni community, representing more than 35,000 former students who make up a network of contacts around the world. As alumni, former students can take advantage of the continuous services and activities organized by the ESADE Alumni Association to help maintain their personal and professional links.
