As a consequence of this review, we redesigned and re-launched our French MBA program in the fall of 2012. At the centre of this upgraded program are an integration of management disciplines and business strategy, an emphasis on leadership and high performance in the program’s flexible hybrid delivery, and a pedagogical model based on experiential learning. Link learning with leadership Maintaining our accreditations with EQUIS and AACSB also inspired us to forge links with more leading businesses to make real-life, hands-on learning a central requirement of every curriculum and program. Two notable results of this effort stand out: We refreshed our CEO-in-Residence series and our graduate program’s MBA professional development series to give students and alumni more opportunities to interact closely with accomplished business leaders.
