They seek to know what their usefulness is and how they can help businesses and the world evolve in a more positive way.
The great wealth of the Executive Programme en Management & Philosophies is to bring together recognised top managers – often people who are not very available, or even untouchable – and renowned philosophers to have them debate without taboo. In my opinion, it is the first training which combines deep questions of philosophy, those of ethics, the meaning of life... with those of management and pure economic issues, to invite us to rethink our practices and to make ourselves more creative.
Beyond the year of study, a dynamic of constructive and continuous critical thinking is initiated. This is not at all training for utopians. It’s a unique programme, very pragmatic, closely connected to the reality on the ground.”

The EMM has guided me through this transformation with training in essential soft skills and management techniques tailored to today's dynamic business environment.
Previously a highly directive leader, I have evolved into a more collaborative one, embracing generational shifts.

The Executive MBA programme was a transformative experience for me, fundamentally changing who I am and helping me become a better version of myself. With my technical background, I initially had a narrow perspective; the programme equipped me with the tools and insights to broaden my view and understand the intricacies of business and strategic decision-making.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of leading by example. If you want to drive change, it must start with yourself. The Executive MBA emphasises critical thinking and a pragmatic approach to learning, which are crucial for effective leadership.
The international scope of the programme, combined with the real-world experience of the faculty, provided a comprehensive understanding of global markets and strategic considerations. This has been instrumental in helping me identify new market opportunities and stay ahead in my career.
Overall, the Executive MBA has not only enhanced my ability to manage and lead effectively but has also reinforced my commitment to lifelong learning and adapting to new challenges. It’s a powerful journey that nurtures your potential and prepares you for a broader leadership role.

I began to assess my career path and realised I was feeling stuck, unsure of how to explore new options or connect with professionals outside my industry. I lacked knowledge in areas like entrepreneurship and struggled to expand my network. Enrolling in the Executive MBA at Solvay was driven by my desire for a significant challenge and growth.
The programme's Advisory Lab, where you work on real-life business problems instead of a traditional thesis, was particularly appealing to me. It provided an opportunity to tackle complex, real-world issues and contribute meaningfully to solving them.
The Executive MBA programme was instrumental in my transition from a background in finance, administration, and HR to a managing director role. It helped me develop essential skills like leadership and working under pressure. The experience made me more confident and resourceful, significantly changing my approach to business challenges. I’m no longer easily impressed or intimidated by complex issues, and I’ve become more aware of the resources at my disposal.

"I studied chemistry and the scientific approach is very important to me (gathering and analysing data, defining models, creating insights, etc.) But when I started working in management I wanted something more actionable. And for me the programme in business analytics was the best way to combine these two things: getting the scientific approach and the business impact that you can create. It gives you a broad view of what business analytics can be: the different tools, the different technologies, the right connections and how to leverage that in your own company."

The training was very well organised and conducted by recognised lecturers in the subject who relayed a wealth of experience and knowledge, delivered in a manageable and structured format. I have been able to adopt all aspects of the course and successfully integrate them, which importantly has developed the Risk Culture in the business. I would recommend the course to other professionals looking to gain further knowledge of Risk Management and how to put it into practice."

They seek to know what their usefulness is and how they can help businesses and the world evolve in a more positive way.
The great wealth of the Executive Programme en Management & Philosophies is to bring together recognised top managers – often people who are not very available, or even untouchable – and renowned philosophers to have them debate without taboo. In my opinion, it is the first training which combines deep questions of philosophy, those of ethics, the meaning of life... with those of management and pure economic issues, to invite us to rethink our practices and to make ourselves more creative.
Beyond the year of study, a dynamic of constructive and continuous critical thinking is initiated. This is not at all training for utopians. It’s a unique programme, very pragmatic, closely connected to the reality on the ground.”

“In the company I work for, there is regular management training. I realised that these were crossed by the question of “how”. How to be a good boss? How to be empathetic? How to motivate your teams? It was certainly useful but something was missing for me. Making people happy at work is certainly an interesting program, but I needed to know what it was to be happy and even understand what work was.
It is to answer these metaphysical questions that I registered. It was a way of moving from how to why. During the sessions, seeds are sown in the mind, they continue to grow by initiating another look at reality.”

Previously a highly directive leader, I have evolved into a more collaborative one, embracing generational shifts.

The Executive MBA programme was a transformative experience for me, fundamentally changing who I am and helping me become a better version of myself. With my technical background, I initially had a narrow perspective; the programme equipped me with the tools and insights to broaden my view and understand the intricacies of business and strategic decision-making.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of leading by example. If you want to drive change, it must start with yourself. The Executive MBA emphasises critical thinking and a pragmatic approach to learning, which are crucial for effective leadership.
The international scope of the programme, combined with the real-world experience of the faculty, provided a comprehensive understanding of global markets and strategic considerations. This has been instrumental in helping me identify new market opportunities and stay ahead in my career.
Overall, the Executive MBA has not only enhanced my ability to manage and lead effectively but has also reinforced my commitment to lifelong learning and adapting to new challenges. It’s a powerful journey that nurtures your potential and prepares you for a broader leadership role.

I began to assess my career path and realised I was feeling stuck, unsure of how to explore new options or connect with professionals outside my industry. I lacked knowledge in areas like entrepreneurship and struggled to expand my network. Enrolling in the Executive MBA at Solvay was driven by my desire for a significant challenge and growth.
The programme's Advisory Lab, where you work on real-life business problems instead of a traditional thesis, was particularly appealing to me. It provided an opportunity to tackle complex, real-world issues and contribute meaningfully to solving them.
The Executive MBA programme was instrumental in my transition from a background in finance, administration, and HR to a managing director role. It helped me develop essential skills like leadership and working under pressure. The experience made me more confident and resourceful, significantly changing my approach to business challenges. I’m no longer easily impressed or intimidated by complex issues, and I’ve become more aware of the resources at my disposal.

I used to think that finance and environmental friendliness couldn’t coexist, but the programme showed me otherwise. It provided a solid foundation for achieving financial success while remaining environmentally responsible.
This new perspective inspired me to integrate sustainability into my company and develop a new line that aligns with both economic and environmental goals.
