History
The Berlin School of Creative Leadership was founded in 2006 by a group of executives and academics from the creative industries. The school was initiated in partnership with the Art Directors Club Germany (ADC) and the Steinbeis School of Management and Innovation. SMI is a branch of Germany's oldest and largest private business school, Steinbeis-Hochschule (Steinbeis University, Berlin), which functions as a global academic network of 1,000 affiliated institutes in the fields of consultancy, research, development, and education. The Berlin School's Executive MBA in Creative Leadership is internationally recognized and accredited by the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA).
Since its founding, the Berlin School of Creative Leadership has offered a part-time global Executive MBA and Executive Education programs designed for professionals in the creative industries. Programs are taught in the English language, with participants and alumni coming from over 60 countries. Initially, the school's focus was on the advertising industry.[1] This has since diversified to include all areas of the creative industries, including design, architecture, media and music, as well as executives working outside of this realm, for example in finance, transport and hospitality. In 2010, the Berlin School launched the first annual Cannes Creative Leadership Programme (CCLP) — a two-week non-degree leadership workshop, held in conjunction with Cannes Lions. In 2014, the school expanded its non-degree catalogue by launching the Executive Education learning stream, featuring workshops, custom programs, and partner programs catering to individuals, organizations and events.
