Do you know what makes a successful entrepreneur? Would you be surprised to learn how the majority of us who never become entrepreneurs can adopt the entrepreneurial mindset to make our company jobs more innovative and creative? The world is much less predictable than it has ever been and it takes thinking like an entrepreneur to deal effectively with today’s ambiguity.

IE Business School is consistently recognized as a leading institution in the field of Entrepreneurship. The fact that IE was created by entrepreneurs and that 15-20% of our graduates are entrepreneurs definitely is not enough to gain this recognition.

In the upcoming IE Masterclass Professor Dr Paris de L’Etraz will provide an insightful session on what it takes to be an entrepreneur and how you develop an entrepreneurial mindset. In addition he will explain why all our management students have to write a business plan, how the Venture Lab which Paris is directing helps you to get exposure to investors around the globe and what the AREA 31 is all about.

IE Passport to Passion Workshop – Seoul

Are you passionate about what you are doing? You should… but it’s always good to have some others to regain your passion. This was the objective of the recent IE workshops “Passport to Passion” in Seoul and Tokyo.

Professors Paris de L’Etraz and Professor Mario Alonzo Puig provided a three and half hour training session  to help the audience re-evaluate their professional source of passion and guide their thinking for revitalizing their creativity.

Workshop attendees were highly enthusiatic about the topic of stepping outside of one’s professional comfort zone, and the discussions during the group work session became very animated. One attendee commented: ‘Coming from an engineering background I found this session very helpful and eye-opening. It was fun and interesting to follow, with lots of examples.’

Prof. De L’Etraz’s tales of his ‘de-quanting’ process and Prof. Puig’s ‘inner voice’ brought laughs to the audience, while their in-depth knowledge about both why and how one must change were enlightening. A current applicant noted: ‘I really enjoyed today’s event. I love IE more than before. The professors are very impressive, and I’d like to open my mind more widely’.
