ADDING VALUE THROUGH PURPOSE

Planet

We believe better business practices can be a force for change in the world, improving lives and protecting the environment. We call this Sustainable Business, and like all our programs, it's a cornerstone of the Master in Creative Direction, Content and Branding. We’ll ground you in the key concepts that make Sustainable Business a reality, including innovative leadership, ethics and sustainable corporate cultures. We all have a responsibility to the planet—none more so than the next generation of creative thinkers starting out at IE Business School. We’ll show you how to make sustainability a rich vein of thought that runs through your creativity, from strategy to visual implementation.

Society

Bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to social issues is one of the most effective ways to use your business skills for the greater good. We call this Social Entrepreneurship, an approach that harnesses the power of your ingenuity and problem-solving abilities to tackle enduring social problems. As part of your studies, you will undertake a Social Impact project hands-on, using the skills and strengths you acquire in the Master in Customer Experience & Innovation to make a difference to society at large. Graduates of IE Business School thrive under the pressure of a tight deadline or a challenging target; we’ll help you use those traits to amplify the benefit you bring to the world around you.

People

At IE Business School, we believe people matter just as much as results. We call this Working Well. It's easy to talk about purpose when it comes to yourself. But the outstanding quality of the Master in Customer Experience & Innovation is that the best version of you will produce the best possible outcomes for both your organization and consumers alike. In your own Sustainable Entrepreneurship project, you'll put people at the center of a real innovation initiative that could become a commercial or nonprofit venture. And by learning how customer insight drives more impactful business decisions, mastering the tech that's disrupting the CX ecosystem and gaining hands-on experience in team building, adaptive leadership and creative process design, you'll ensure your own career choices make a difference in the sector.
