5 Strategic Streams

We strongly believe that the leaders of a complex and unpredictable future will need to master multiple domains and be equipped with a new set of skills, in order to make a difference and have an impact in the world.

The Strategic Streams and renowned Global Partners of the ISEG MBA provide you with the opportunity to explore and expand your level of knowledge in major areas, which will enable you to identify strategic opportunities, expand your network, and master your analytical, creative and decision-making skills.

Global Futures 01

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a strategic partner of the ISEG MBA that invites you to explore and act on the most important driving forces that are currently affecting and shaping economies, industries and organisations world-wide.

How do you continuously adapt your vision and strategy within a fast-evolving global context? Leaders require new tools to make better strategic decisions in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. The World Economic Forum developed Strategic Intelligence to help you understand the global forces at play and make more informed decisions.

in World Economic Forum

Global Futures also relies on a partnership with the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies (CIFS), an independent and non-profit global advisory think tank, with the aim of facilitating the decision-making process in your organisation through scenario planning, megatrend analysis, risk management, innovation and strategy.

02

Entrepreneurship & Innovation

We designed a unique Strategic Stream on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, in partnership with Startup Lisboa and the University of San Francisco.

This Stream provides you with the opportunity to explore two of the most dynamic and fast-growing entrepreneurial ecosystems in the world, through immersive and hands-on experience in both Lisbon and San Francisco.

More than 30% of participants in the ISEG MBA create and launch start-ups or new business ventures either during or after the program.

You will also gain knowledge from some of the most cutting edge Incubators, Accelerators, Fab Labs and Investors, and contact global digital Disruptors, Big Corps, Unicorns and fast growing Startups.

Digital Disruption 03

Técnico Lisboa - the largest School of Engineering in Portugal and one of the best in Europe, is the partner for the Digital Disruption Stream.

Technology plays an ever-increasing role in the definition of innovative business models, a factor that explains the added importance of the relations between engineering and business schools. This partnership between ISEG and Técnico creates the conditions to increase the familiarity of the students with several important technologies and their impact on businesses. The objective is not only to provide an in-depth understanding of several aspects of key specific technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Blockchain, but also the tools to perform a more enlightened analysis of the potential of these technologies in a number of business areas.

This Stream also offers a unique overview of how technologies such as Augmented & Virtual Reality, Robotics, IoT & 5G, Biotech & Neuroscience, Nanotech & New Materials are shaping our global future.

Design & Agility 04

Design and Agility are becoming part of the DNA of an increasing number of leading and innovative organisations.

In the Design & Agility Stream you will learn the value of Design for Business Strategy, Differentiation and Competitive Advantage, and also explore the use of Design Thinking and Strategic Design Tools to progress from consumer and market insight to designing actionable solutions.

You will be challenged to discover how you can encourage strategic and operational agility in your organisation and will participate in immersion sessions and masterclasses to learn and analyse how certain global companies based in Lisbon are quickly becoming agile and digital.

Sustainability & Governance 05

This Stream will explore the main sustainability issues in the national and international agendas and explain how these impact the day-to-day business of an organisation. It will further explain how the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals are related with both financial risks and new business models. As such, will also analyse the growing relevance of the extra-financial information - so called Environmental Social and Governance factors - for companies, investors, stock markets and rating agencies. It will also approach the increasing relevance of Sustainable Finance around the globe.

Ethical and Governance issues will also be analysed - from a theoretical and a practical perspective, since many Corporate Governance recommendation codes of several European countries already refer to the importance of sustainability and ethics as part of good management practices. The current hard and soft law on these issues will also be discussed. During this course, several guests will be invited to share their views and experiences on the sustainability field.

Immersive Experiences

Weekend at the Portuguese Air Force Academy

During these two days, you will focus on teamwork, coordination and improvisation activities. This is the moment to test your limits as you develop your leadership, strategic and time management skills, as well as your sense of cooperation.

Lisbon

By day Lisbon has a naive theatrical quality that enchants and captivates, but by night it is a fairy-tale city, descending over lighted terraces to the sea, like a woman in festive garments going down to meet her dark lover.

ERICH MARIA REMARQUE

10 Reasons for Studying at ISEG

Very good Research Centres which adhere to UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Strong links with the business community and government.

Located at the heart of Lisbon with unique historic facilities, modern technology and breathtaking views.

Testimonials

The program relies on the notion of positive leadership, which is essential to future leaders, managing students to work in groups in an international context thanks to the numerous nationalities, and also demands high standards. Classes are being dynamic and very challenge with a strong management and finance focus, something that I definitely value.

Bachelors in Advertising and Marketing

Post Graduation in Storytelling Media Planner, Nova Expressão

In addition to the theoretical content, which greatly contributes to increasing my hard skills, of undeniable added value was the opportunity to experience appropriate outdoor training culminating in the Silicon Valley Immersion programme at San Francisco University. However, it would be totally unfair if I did not mention that the most enriching factor was the human component, particularly of all my colleagues, who contributed to a more complete learning process by sharing other experiences and professional realities. Although demanding, I can now say that the ISEG MBA has been a plus in my career, making me a more complete professional.
