Would you like to broaden the horizons of your professional growth? The Executive MBA is a professional and personal transformative journey for high-potential executives who choose to invest in their future, enhancing abilities and skills without compromising their professional and personal commitments.

 

Participants can choose between two formats:

 

  • The Weekend format, available in Milano and Roma, a bilingual option that combines sessions in Italian with selected modules in English, is delivered through weekend sessions, providing flexibility for those managing professional and personal obligations.
  • The Modular format in Milano, fully international and conducted entirely in English, is structured around intensive training weeks, ideal for professionals seeking an immersive and global learning experience.

 

Both formats combine flexibility and excellence, allowing participants to tailor their educational journey while advancing their careers.

An Executive MBA means:

  • A unique transformational process, continuously adapted to your specific needs and your agenda
  • Differentiated formats and learning processes: EMBA Weekend, bilingual (Italian/English), available in Milan and Rome, and EMBA Modular, fully international (entirely in English)
  • More opportunities for integration between classes: a single professional network, broader than ever
  • SDA Bocconi, the first Italian business school, with the highest international rankings

In un box di studio dell’EMBA possono nascere idee visionarie. Dagli incontri serali di quattro partecipanti dell’edizione 2017 ha preso forma il progetto mOOve, la pista ciclabile intelligente: un’infrastruttura modulare, flessibile, posizionabile ovunque in modo semplice, veloce, senza scavi e senza creare disagi stradali. È dotata di una tecnologia digitale integrata che le permette di segnalare in anticipo condizioni di traffico e ambientali, eventuali interruzioni (ad esempio veicoli presenti sulla pista), manutenzioni necessarie. E in coerenza con l’idea di sostenibilità ambientale che veicola, è costruita utilizzando pneumatici e materie plastiche derivanti da processi di riciclo.

L’idea è diventata realtà attraverso Revo Srl, la startup costituita dagli stessi alumni EMBA, e ha già vinto il contest IDEA 2019 dell’Ordine degli Ingegneri di Milano e il contest GetIt promosso da Cariplo Factory. Ora si è passati alla fase produttiva con richieste e manifestazioni di interesse da tutto il mondo.

“Certo, idee come queste possono nascere ovunque”, dice Stefano Arvati, uno degli ex ‘compagni di banco’ EMBA e ora socio di Revo, “ma difficilmente possono svilupparsi con la stessa rapidità ed efficacia in un contesto che non dà il supporto concettuale e metodologico dell’EMBA e non permette a persone con provenienze e mentalità così diverse di incontrarsi, di lavorare e di coltivare la loro capacità di innovazione”. Innovazione e diversità di competenze che sono diventate il punto di forza della startup e del progetto.

“L’idea era buona e si sta dimostrando vincente”, aggiunge Stefano, “ma alla luce di questa esperienza mi sento di dire che gran parte di questo successo è dovuta alla forza del team. Serve sempre una buona squadra per far decollare progetti audaci e culturalmente nuovi come mOOve. E l’EMBA di SDA Bocconi questo lo sa e lo trasmette bene”.
