Is the specific form of SIBE’s Experience Based Curriculum at SIBE and is characterized by the interaction of the three elements of theory, action and reflection. These three elements play an equal role in the educational process and are an integral part of the curricula of SIBE’s study programs. In contrast to traditional institutions of higher education, the EBC takes place with the interaction of these three protagonists: institution of higher education, student and company.

Abstract
The challenges of today's rapidly changing environment are tremendous. Almost every organization has new tasks; some must even completely modify their strategy or business model. In most cases, these processes are accompanied by the implementation of innovations. To achieve important innovations that are suitable to change our world for the better, the cooperation between academia and industry must be enhanced. A dual education model is suggested, as knowledge and competencies are mainly delivered by institutions of higher education, but the implementation of new ideas occurs most often in organizations. Besides the generation of new ideas, a successful realization may be challenging. Therefore, leadership is necessary. Taken together, a contemporary educational program should focus on innovation development and leadership competencies. Based on a literature review, the current situation is analyzed, and a summary of the educational requirements is given. Finally, a newly developed study program—the Diploma of Performance and Leadership—is presented.
