IE EXPONENTIAL LEARNING’S VALUES
The new normal in education: "A learning mindset is your life changer."
Learning Mindset
We believe in LEARNING as a key competitive skill in today’s dynamic environment. For us at IE Exponential Learning, learning does not end at graduation – it is more of a mindset for life. What inspires us is the ability to stimulate curiosity and to get individuals to believe they are capable of learning what they aspire to learn. Ultimately, we believe that if we can foster humility in highly talented individuals to continue asking questions, we can create unbeatable master learners!
Impact
We value learning beyond the intrinsic value of acquiring knowledge. We believe that through learning we can help transform the potential of individuals, institutions and communities. At IE Exponential Learning, we care about learning as an enabler of change and therefore aspire to create the necessary learning conditions for fellow learners to deliver on the change they are looking for in their lives and communities. Similarly, we look to maximize the impact of time invested in learning. Because our learners are pressed for time and learning requires effort and persistence, we strive to create unique experiences through the combination of content, pedagogies and technology to maximize their learning.
Effective learning
Learning requires effort and dedication, and we know that our learners are pressed for time. We strive to make sure the combination of content, pedagogies and technology maximize learning given the time invested in it.
Beneficial for you
Cognitive training is as good for your brain as working out is good for your body. The constant pursuit of knowledge will provide benefits beyond your professional success. It enhances your personal development and competitiveness as well as your well-being.
Starting your learning journey
Think about the last time you planned a trip. Remember the anticipation with which you waited to reach your destination, whether it were to the Himalayas, Florence or NYC? Learning is just another exciting journey; it requires some preparation and planning if you want to fully enjoy the satisfaction of mastering the topic at hand. Having a roadmap matters, but so does allowing curiosity guide you, give you the energy to continue exploring and eventually discover on your own the uniqueness of the place you visited.
1. Get into the right mindset: you are truly capable of learning what you set your mind to learn – are you fully convinced? If you are still hesitant, please check the video from Carol Dweck on growth mindset in our “favorite learning resources”.
2. Research: find out who the experts on this topic are and what material is available that can help you become familiar with the topic. Would a handful of conversations with colleagues with actual experience in your topic of interest help you better articulate your motivation and define the specific sub-topics you are interested in learning?
3. Make a study plan: can you start with self-study? Will you get where you want by yourself? Is there a community of learners that can help you? Would a formal course (online or face-to-face) be helpful to get initial traction?
4. Understand the value of deliberate practice and perseverance: we strongly recommend you watch this video from Angela Duckworth – you can find it in our “favorite learning resources” as well as the chapter on deliberate practice from Peak by Anders Ericson.
5. Stay active on this journey: Constant engagement will help you grow through continuous renovation of capabilities and expertise.

The Digital Marketing, Social Media, Analytics: an Omnichannel Strategy HiOP Program has really fulfilled my expectations. My background is in sales, but in two months I have achieved a 360º understanding of the fundamentals of digital marketing.

Shortly after completing the Digital Marketing course with IE, I landed a job as Head of Digital Content at an energy firm. Although I had already gained vast experience in creating content during my career as a journalist and writer for a communications company, there is no doubt my experience with the course assisted in landing the role, as I was able to convincingly demonstrate knowledge and practical ability in digital marketing techniques – an essential element of the position.

HiOP is something totally different. It offers such a level of interactivity (live sessions, forums and individual consultations with professors), which is seldom reached in a physical classroom. I literally have pages of new ideas and marketing techniques that I want to implement right now for my clients. The assistant professor replied to every single forum post and private message almost instantaneously and in great depth – where else would you book a top-notch digital consultant for hours as an on-top bonus to the program?
