The MiNE Program distinguishes itself from other similar courses for the outstanding academic and professional quality and mix of its instructors. It enjoys the personal collaboration and support of a truly top-level international faculty, including professors from several quality US universities (the University of California at Berkeley, San Diego and Los Angeles, the University of Minnesota, the Yale School of Management and Stanford University to name just a few of such institutions). Academic and corporate experts of international reputation (for example, from the Cynefin Centre (formerly IBM Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity) and from several Silicon Valley companies) form a perfect balance. All instructors are invited to the MiNE Program in Piacenza to hold a course (or courses) in person specifically because they have proven theoretical and/or practical expertise in their field. Indeed, of the 29 instructors of the 2003-2004 edition, 12 are experts in the US, the UK and other European countries; 5, including the Director of the program, are regular Università Cattolica professors; the other 12 are academics and/or consultants based elsewhere in Italy.

Some of the instructors are also members of the MiNE Program executive staff; they are regularly present on campus and ensure the continuity of the Program's philosophies and policies.

The Director of the MiNE Program is Prof. Domenico Ferrari.

Note: the MiNE Program reserves the right to change the courses, instructors, or course dates indicated on its websites, even at the last moment. It guarantees, however, that, if forced to change the dates of a course, it will try to minimize the inconvenience to the students interested in taking it, and if forced to replace an instructor, it will try to choose the best available one. In the absence of a good alternative, it will change the course choosing the best possible combination of course and instructor.
