The Role INSEAD Alumni are Playing to Advance the Gender Initiative in Africa

Gender imbalance and the experiences of women and men in business and society have consequences for both organisations and the communities they serve.Across the African continent specifically, progress has been made in recent years to overcome discriminations, but efforts remain to be made. We spoke to two INSEAD Global Executive MBA alumnae who are playing a key role to advance conversations around gender parity and diversity in the region.

The Power of Support

INSEAD's Limitless campaign celebrates women who have dared to push beyond their own limits and conquer obstacles in their lives to create positive change. We also recognise that change would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support systems they relied on – people who shared their lives, the weight of their responsibilities, and the ups and downs of their friend’s or loved one’s journey to success.

Global Executive MBA - Programme Structure

INSEAD’s leading Global Executive MBA programme (GEMBA) offers an unparalleled experience for senior executives looking to hone their general management skills with a focus on developing a unique leadership style that helps enable careers to progress further. The programme is delivered in a modular format across three fully integrated campuses: Europe (France), Asia (Singapore) and the Middle East (UAE) allowing participants to learn from each other and build a close-kint yet globally distributed network.

How Will a Change Management Programme Change You?

The pandemic has been taxing on most of us and has given many the time to reflect on what is important in life. It has led to the Great Resignation phenomena, various kinds of other career changes, but perhaps most of all to an increased consciousness around why it is we go to work. 

Meet the Class - EMC'23 (Europe)

The Executive Master in Change Class of 2023 (Europe) started in September 2022 on the INSEAD campus in Fontainebleau. 26 participants from 17 countries of residence and 19 nationalities embarked together on a transformative journey towards change leadership, or, as some would say, the journey of a lifetime. 

Who are the people in this class, and what are their dreams and motivations? We caught up with a few of them to find out more.
