Executive Education Programs: Music Thinking

Guillermo Cisneros, lecturer at the ESADE Department of Marketing Management, addresses executives participating in the program.

Berklee's Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (BerkleeICE) offers executive education programming with a variety of partners, exploring music thinking and lessons from the creative technology industry. BerkleeICE is open to new collaborations and customizations.

This includes a joint offering between ESADE Business School, BerkleeICE, and Berklee's campus in Valencia, Spain, a three-day executive education program offering leaders from different industries an opportunity to transfer leadership concepts from music thinking to their own personal and organizational challenges.

Through lectures and interactive workshops, participants will:

  • practice and strengthen creative mindset skills, such as improvisation, collaboration, and performing, inspired by the instincts of musicians, actors, and dancers;
  • identify how creative thinking is applicable to a successful business or entrepreneurial ecosystem;
  • apply leadership and management skills used by teams of artists; and

  • observe and adopt best practices used at Berklee's campus in Valencia
