“My experience in IEEM’s PDD was fantastic, both from a professional and a personal
point of view. Professionally wise, it gave me a more integral understanding of the
company, and helped me deepen my knowledge about companies’ policies,
commercial, accountant, finance, operations, marketing, etc. I know have tools for
communicating better with upper management, our clients and my peers. The Case
Method is great because it places one in a concrete situation, so by in-class discussions
with people who come from different areas and backgrounds, the experience becomes
extremely enriching. Personally wise, IEEM strengthened my values, and reinforced
how important they are to create an organization with an environment of trust and
confidence”.

“The biggest assets IEEM’s PDD have are the variety of matters discussed, the flexibility
that the Case Methodology implies, and the great skills and energy of the professors
and how they give the lectures. The group of people, with different profiles and the
most various background experiences, is hands down one of the aspects that enriches
the discussions the most, fostering a dialogue that is key for the program’s success.
The PDD advances in its participants a broadened vision of how companies work,
furthering an array of tools that go way over purely technical matters. This helps you
think and strategize differently, and understand what decisions need to be made from
another angle, within your area of expertise and in the rest of the company”.

“IEEM’s PDD gave me the tools I needed to improve my performance as a manager and
my knowledge on how the business world works. This was made possible by the Case
Methodology, the exemplary abilities of the professors, and the enriching weekly
discussions with my classmates. Even now, after having finished with this great
experience, I am ongoingly learning by engaging in different Alumni activities”.

“Because it was what I had explored the least in my career, I applied for IEEM’s PDD
with the goal of learning about economic and financial decision-making. So, I was
gladly surprised when I realized what I had really signed up for. The classmates, the
professors and the methodology spawn the perfect environment for discussions,
lectures and debates where one is constantly faced with their own limitations.
Personal compromise towards the dynamic is the key to making the most out of the
program as a whole. I’d highlight the focus that’s placed onto the human aspect of
decision-making, which is what sets IEEM apart from the rest”.
