The event is open to all IE Bachelor, Master, and MBA candidates. You will be able to meet with our local admission team to ask any questions you may have about the application process, program format, fees, financial aid, living, and studying in Madrid. This will also be an opportunity to benefit from an enriching conference delivered by a professor at IE; hence gaining an insight into the way we teach.

For the candidates who have completed their online application, paid their admission fee, and passed the entrance test (The IE Global Admission Test, the GMAT or the SAT) by February 1st, they will be given the opportunity to finalize the admission process by completing the personal interview during the event.

Master Class "The Keys to Building a Future-Ready Data Company” 

The world today runs on data. Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic has confirmed the fragility of traditional businesses built for a Predictable World that no longer exists, as well as the lack of data governance strategies. The data world has accelerated the rate at which digital is fundamentally changing business, as well as the need for leaders to manage technology and data capabilities. How will businesses identify the right data assets, build a data culture, break down data silos, the data governance requirements, and how will they operate in a complex regulatory environment?

For companies to remain competitive, business leaders must prioritize quality, develop organizational data capabilities, and put data to use.

This masterclass will look at the key principles and solutions required for implementing Future-Ready, data-driven business solutions. While no organization has yet cracked the Data-driven code, current business cases indicate that future-ready Data businesses share some characteristics.

Professor Biography 

Dr. José Esteves is a  Professor of Information Systems at IE Business School. Focusing on areas such as knowledge management, the implementation of enterprise systems and, more recently, enterprise risk management, Prof Esteves believes it is the way people interact with information technology that will determine the success or failure of its implementation. A wealth of experience in the corporate world underpins this belief. As an information systems analyst and consultant for companies such as Ciba-Geigy and Sonae Group and before joining the academic world, Prof Esteves focused on understanding how information systems interacted with business processes and human resources management. Prof Esteves is also chair of eGovernment Software AG- Alianza Sumaq which focus on the analysis and understanding of eGovernment initiatives in Spain and Latin America. In addition to his research and teaching, Prof Esteves continues to act as a consultant to a number of companies – something he believes makes an important contribution to his academic activities.
