Calling INSEAD EMBA students and alumni! Planning your EMBA electives for July 2024? Are you committed to employing your skills to make a positive difference to society? Do you wonder how to best address the biggest social and environmental challenges of our time using business as a force for good? If the answer is yes, please consider the elective "Strategy and Investing for Impact" that I am offering again this year. Detailed description is attached. Specific topics covered: ·      Getting Sustainability Right ·      Addressing the Environmental Crisis ·      Impact Entrepreneurship ·      Investing for Impact ·      Evaluating and Managing Impact The course content does evolve every year based on whatever new I have myself learnt from the latest real-world debates as well as from the latest research related to those. For example, new content related environmental sustainability - including specifically on decarbonization and climate action - has perhaps been the most significant change over the past year or two. I hope to see many of you in July in France! :) Tsinghua-INSEAD Executive MBA Programme INSEAD Hoffmann Institute INSEAD Lifelong Learning INSEAD Alumni Association #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #impact #impactinvesting #socialentrepreneurship #impactentrepreneurship #climateaction #forceforgood #ESG

EMBA11 BROADEN THEIR HORIZONS FROM THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIOPOLITICAL CONTEXT OF THE FIRM In May, EMBA11 participants ventured into the macro business acumen. Guided by Assoc. Prof. Lorena Mathien, participants were: - Develop an understanding of the dynamics of the actors operating along the various dimensions of an organization’s environment - Know the processes involved in the management of socio-economic problems of strategic interest, corporate social and environmental responsibility - Conceptualize the organization’s environment in an open, dynamic way from the perspective of a globalized economy - Apply an effective methodology for gathering information, analyzing and making strategic and responsible decisions The Economic and Sociopolitical Context Of The Firm is not as “arid” as you pictured, isn’t it? #ISB #EMBA11 #UQAM_EMBA

We are excited to introduce the team representing Cornell University at the Cornell MBA Stock Pitch Challenge. Meet Mariana Ferreira!

"First, I can get exposure in a sector of business that I have had little to no exposure in before, understanding who the relevant companies are and building my network. Second, it allows me to apply my skills and knowledge in a completely new setting. As an entrepreneur I have to think critically and strategically daily when faced with decisions; this stock pitch challenge will allow me to test those skills and see how they can transcend into a new industry." #Finance #Investing #InvestmentResearch #AssetManagement #CornellMBA #CornellBusiness

besides taking in methods and cases around understanding the dynamics of change and alternative actionable scenarios to enrich the context within which strategy is executed with strategic foresight and futures-oriented issues, this 'Applied Strategic Foresight' training has made me develop a new appreciation for these questions: -have various perspectives been considered to turn a maximum of blind spots into unforeseen business opportunities? -have all shapes of expertise, both insider and outsider voices, been considered to steer away from a maximum of biases? beyond the market you're in? -when was the last time you listened like the life of someone’s business depended on it? better yet, do you listen to understand or to answer? -are the best conditions in place for a re-perception across the organization? -are you a 'learner' or a 'knower'*? thanks for a priceless experience and learnings, Monika Volgyi & Martin Kruse, Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. *'In times of change the learners will inherit the earth, while the knowers will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.' - #EricHoffer 🙏🏽 Siraj Ahmed Shaikh, Laura Katzensteiner, Valérie Henzen, Ian Thompson #FuturesStudies #Foresight

"16 months of hands-on, #practical experience, blending #in-person and self-directed learning in all areas of #ESG, #Sustainability, #Social #Impact, and #Thought #Leaders. It’s likely the last two areas that will likely have a profound impact on me going forward. I couldn’t be more proud of my fellow graduates, and look forward to seeing the #positive #change they will all make going forward. I want to encourage my #peers in the #financial #industry to step outside their comfort zone of money focused conversations, and think about their potential for #larger, and more #personal #impact. Don’t stop the RI/ESG train, and consider all the stakeholders along the route. I hope my Capstone project gives me some leverage for these conversations going forward", Paul McQueen (Class 2023) – #Vice #President, #Wealth #Management / Coach at Libro Credit Union.
