Global Executive MBA & Custom Programs

Berlin School of Creative Leadership at Steinbeis University Berlin is a leading institute for quality executive education and research on creative leadership. Since opening its doors in 2006, the school has built a global community of senior professionals from across the full spectrum of business and industry – wherever creativity and innovation set the standard– in over 60 countries around the world.

At the heart of the Berlin School is its Executive MBA in Creative Leadership, a part-time degree taught both online and in-person in a flexible and modular format, including residencies in Berlin, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo.

A degree from the Berlin School teaches leaders to cultivate new and different ways of seeing, interpreting, and acting in an ever-evolving, digitally networked society. In the understanding that creative business leadership is a way of thinking, a methodology, and a repertoire of skills all at once, participants are taught in a rigorous and unfolding process to become continually creative learners – and un-learners of old habits. Simultaneously, they become deeply versed in the techniques and mindset necessary to catalyze business activity across multiple situations amidst often competing objectives, demands, and contexts.
