Registration is now open for the TRIUM Global Alumni Module, you can register via this link.

The idea behind this event is to bring together the TRIUM alumni community, in an informal setting, where pre and post-module assignments are a thing of the past.

Stimulating talks and presentations are an integral part of the agenda, but above all, it is an alumni-led event, with emphasis being vey much on strengthening the existing TRIUM network.

This event will be held in sunny Portugal. Among its many attributes, it was the elected country for many of Europe’s Royalty when they were forced into exile during the Second World War. Among these was the King of Italy, Umberto II, who lived in Cascais for 37 years, in what is now the Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel – the venue for Module 7, 2012.

TASC look forward to seeing you in Cascais in June!

Meet the Dean — Bernard Ramanantsoa

Leave a comment

Dean Ramanantsoa is featured in the Financial Times article “Meet the Dean — Bernard Ramanantsoa” by Emmanuelle Smith.

Ça n’a rien á voir,” says Bernard Ramanantsoa when I ask how his experience of an MBA at HEC in 1976 might differ from that of today’s participants. In other words, the two are worlds apart. The classes were smaller then – 70 a year compared with 200 now; there were “four or five foreign students”, compared with 85 per cent; and the programme was taught in a small classroom rather than its own large building. The content, too, has changed, he says, with better-structured teaching of analytical and leadership skills.

Many of the most important changes have taken place in the past 16 years, while Prof Ramanantsoa, 63, has been dean. One of the developments he is most proud of is the globalisation of the school. “We have many more foreign students, many more foreign ¬professors, and many more links with foreign companies. Half of our MBAs do not work in their country of origin.

A prime example of HEC’s internationalism is TRIUM, the three-centre, global executive MBA taught in association with New York University’s Stern school and London School of Economics.
TRIUM is a great experience, in that we really work in great depth and at all levels between the three institutions,” he says. “It’s hard – ‘challenging’ as you say in English – but it’s also enjoyable.”
