The EMLV Advisory Board is a strategic event designed to keep management programmes aligned with market needs. Organised in collaboration with the Corporate Partnerships Department, it offers a space for dialogue with key partner companies, many of which are among the most sought-after employers for EMLV graduates. By involving business leaders in curriculum development, the school ensures that its programmes are constantly updated to reflect real-world challenges and evolving skills requirements.
A key platform for aligning management education with the future of work, the EMLV Advisory Board fosters collaboration with strategic business partners to enhance curriculum relevance and impact.
Active corporate participation in shaping the curriculum
Engaging companies in pedagogical development is a core principle of the Advisory Board.
Through their involvement, corporate partners help shape learning pathways that address contemporary business transformations. Their input allows the school to remain attuned to labour market trends and to prepare students to contribute meaningfully to a rapidly changing professional landscape.
Strategic topics at the heart of the 2025 edition
This year’s discussions focused on the growing importance of Green Skills and their role in corporate strategy.
Green Skills encompass the knowledge, capabilities, and attitudes required to support ecological transition within organisations. These competencies span areas such as sustainable resource management, carbon footprint reduction, circular economy practices, and environmental innovation.
As environmental challenges and regulations intensify, Green Skills have become a priority. Businesses now face the dual imperative of achieving financial performance while meeting sustainability objectives. Professionals trained in these skills are equipped to implement sustainable solutions and respond to shifting market dynamics.
Representatives from leading firms such as Capgemini, Dassault Systèmes, IBM, Inetum, La Poste Groupe, mc2i, SUEZ, Tata Consultancy Services et Total Energies, contributed their insights on emerging skill sets and business expectations.
These exchanges strengthen the school’s mission to deliver an education aligned with social, economic, and technological transformation.
Building stronger academic-business collaboration
The Advisory Board is not a one-time consultation exercise—it is a long-term lever to deepen collaboration between EMLV and its corporate partners.
The session featured a keynote by Jean-Etienne Joullié on transparency and performance, offering valuable perspectives on the relationship between ethics and managerial outcomes.
By engaging high-level business stakeholders, EMLV reinforces its goal of preparing graduates to be immediately operational. Thanks to these close partnerships, academic content is continuously adapted to current and future corporate demands, contributing to students’ employability.
A commitment to continuous pedagogical innovation
EMLV is committed to deepening collaboration with its corporate network to design innovative and relevant educational pathways.
The contributions of partner companies are essential to anticipating future shifts and maintaining a forward-looking approach to business education.
Through the EMLV Advisory Board, the school co-develops future-oriented programmes that equip students to navigate the changing world of work and shape the future of management.
