Integrating Personal Growth in ADE Curriculum for Sustainable Impact

Abstract

This conceptual study addresses the integration of intra-personal skills into Spanish business (ADE) curricula to meet sustainability challenges and impact investment demands. The research proposes a three-dimensional framework connecting (1) intra-personal competency development, (2) sustainability knowledge domains, and (3) pedagogical implementation strategies. Our analysis reveals implicit elements of introspection in current curricula but identifies a significant gap in structured approaches to intra-personal skill development. Successful integration requires comprehensive institutional support across multiple levels. This study reconceptualizes business education beyond technical competencies, offering educational practitioners a practical roadmap for curriculum redesign that develops the reflective capacities needed for responsible business leadership in sustainability contexts.
