Teaching Method

Inspired by Harvard Business School. Developed in partnership with IESE.

The AESE Case Method puts DEEP participants at the center of the action. Through the analysis of real business challenges, each participant is challenged to think strategically, decide based on imperfect information, and learn from the exchange of perspectives.

Principles of the Method

  • Decision-making in real scenarios
    Authentic business cases require structured reasoning in contexts of uncertainty and pressure.
  • Exchange of strategic perspectives
    Each participant contributes distinct experiences, enriching the debate and broadening critical vision.
  • Structured and collaborative learning
    Individual study → teamwork → general session guided by experienced faculty.
  • Professors as facilitators
    More than teaching, they challenge assumptions, guide analysis, and stimulate innovative solutions.

The three stages of the Case Method:

  1. Individual Study
    Autonomous analysis of the case and formulation of strategic hypotheses.
  2. Group Work
    Discussion with colleagues to validate approaches and challenge perspectives.
  3. General Session
    Debate led by a professor, with a synthesis of learning and a comparison of visions.

Individual Mentoring

Learning with personalized support.

During the program, each participant has access to individual mentoring sessions with an AESE professor, allowing them to consolidate knowledge, apply content to their professional reality, and grow as a leader.

Benefits of mentoring:

  • Strengthens focus and motivation
  • Stimulates self-reflection and strategic thinking
  • Promotes the consolidation of learning
  • Helps apply concepts to professional practice
  • Deepens personal development

Mentoring is a space for dialogue and trust, which elevates the impact of the program and contributes to more conscious and effective decisions.
