It’s graduation month! Yesterday we witnessed our students and their families gather at the historical Château de Fontainebleau – where it all began for INSEAD – to celebrate with our #PhD students and #MBA Class of July 2023 as they prepared to embark on a new chapter. Dean Ilian Mihov imparted words of wisdom to our graduating PhDs, urging them to stay inquisitive and unleash their creativity to solve some of the biggest problems our world is facing.  Martin Kilduff advised the newly qualified doctorate holders to “hold family and friends close but remember that new ideas come from outside those tight circles.” Roderick Swaab, Director of the PhD Programme closed the ceremony, saying, “I hope you will continue to make an impact, uphold core values and give back.” Later, Urs Peyer told our latest batch of MBA graduates that, “The bonds you have established at INSEAD will last a lifetime,” while Andreas Jacobs MBA’90D spoke of the importance of giving back, and Nicolas Hieronimus shared advice on leadership. Congratulations to all of those who graduated and were awarded in yesterday’s ceremonies – you have done yourselves and your loved ones proud. We cannot wait to see where you go next! #graduation2023 #congratulations #INSEADmoments #thebusinessschoolfortheworld

The 46th edition of the INSEAD Venture Competition (IVC) took place recently, and prizes worth 65,000€ were distributed to the winning teams! This bi-annual event represents a natural and exciting milestone in the development of INSEAD's entrepreneurial students, allowing them to present their #startup concepts and turn their ideas into real businesses. Throughout this multi-stage #competition, our students were immersed in an environment that was both encouraging and rigorous, enabling them to develop and showcase their business ideas. With comprehensive guidance and insights from seasoned #entrepreneurs and #investors, our participants gained valuable knowledge and invaluable experience on how to launch a startup. We are proud of the talent, creativity, and ambition of the IVC participants. A big thank you to all the speakers, mentors, and judges who contributed to the success of this competition. Your support and guidance have been invaluable to our students.  #INSEADmoments #entrepreneurialspirit #INSEADFounders #businessasaforceforgood

We've been celebrating Pride Month with OUTSEAD, who organised a flagship event earlier this week! They hosted a speaker panel featuring LGBTQIA+ students and adorned our campus with pride flags. The event was a resounding success, attracting an excellent turnout. We are grateful to our panelists for their courage in sharing their stories and allowing us to be part of their journey. They also answered audience questions on how to support LGBTQIA+ family and friends, as well as ways to foster inclusivity in our everyday lives. #INSEADMoments#studentlife #thebusinessschoolfortheworld #PrideMonth #Pride #diversity #inclusion

"Extremes of hope and despair are common in #conservation – and as conservationists, we need to find coping mechanisms. One of mine involves engaging #business in finding solutions to biodiversity loss. But why is #biodiversity so important?"   Find out in this INSEAD Knowledge piece by Elisa Dierickx MBA'21J - https://knowledge.insead.edu/responsibility/biodiversity-why-should-business-care (or visit the link in today's story!) #worldenvironmentday #worldenvironmentday2023 #businessasaforceforgood #inseadforgood

Lauren Chung EMBA'17D, the CEO of Strategy and Communications Advisory, Asia Pacific at Teneo, is our INSEADer of the Month!   Lauren advises CEOs and C-suite executives in Asia on their strategic, reputational, transformational and stakeholder relations agendas. She has a particular focus on working with the ‘next generation’ of CEOs and business leaders, who are either inheriting multi-generational companies or building new businesses for the future. She works with both public and private sector leaders, and ensures her work and counsel are focused on generating value for all stakeholders.     She served as a co-founder of a regional consultancy before it was acquired by Teneo in 2017, then became the firm’s COO in Asia Pacific and soon after her EMBA at INSEAD, the regional CEO.   Lauren has deep knowledge of the issues facing business leaders in the region, as illustrated in Teneo’s recent research study, Asia’s Next Generation of CEOs and Corporate Leaders Report, which found ‘purpose’ becoming a central theme of Asia’s rising leaders, as well as building resilience as an organisational muscle and social contribution as a dominant factor in their ESG strategies.   Like INSEAD, Lauren believes that business is a force for good as she lives Teneo’s ethos of partnering with clients to do great things for a better future. Congratulations to Lauren on her achievements and for being our INSEADer of the Month! #businessasaforceforgood #IOTM #businesseducation @inseadalumni
