Senior Management Program for Leading Companies and Institutions (ADEL)
Since 1982, we have worked alongside executives, business owners and new generations as they make decisions under uncertainty, with purpose and real consequences. More than forty years later, over 15,000 people have taken part in San Telmo programs.
The ADEL Participant Profile
An Exclusive Space for Reflection for Those at the Top of Business and Institutions
The design and content of ADEL make it essential for people at the top of organizations, whether or not they have previously completed a management or executive development program. In the classroom: leading business owners, public leaders and senior executives from Spain and Portugal, all leaders in their sector or field, regardless of company size or turnover.
Listen, Think and Share: The Program's Core Objectives
Are we transforming our companies to face the future? ADEL is built around three pillars: Environment, Business & Governance, and People.
Methodology
The Case Method: New Cases, with Their Protagonists in the Room
New cases and working papers are discussed with the active participation of the CEOs and chairs involved, who join the classroom as guest speakers.
“To create a high-level space for reflection among peers. A place where we do not come to listen to lectures, but to share real-life experience, complex decisions and, in many cases, dilemmas with no single right answer. With the experience and diversity we have in the classroom, I am confident the discussion will be immensely valuable.”
Roundtables and CEO Dialogues: in-depth, closed-door discussions with business owners, public leaders and other stakeholders.
The fastest way to understand the method is to sit in on a real session, in Seville or Malaga.
Individual study
Participants analyse the case and draw their own conclusions.
Teamwork
Different viewpoints are challenged in small groups, guided by a discussion facilitator.
General sessions
The professor leads the classroom debate towards a diagnosis. Roundtables, flash cases and CEO dialogues complement the discussion.
Virtual classroom and networking
Working forums enable interaction with other participants, with multimedia support between sessions.
