Programme highlights

TRACK “INTRAPRENEURS”: A LIVE IN-COMPANY CASE STUDY BASED ON A CORPORATE CONSULTANCY PROJECT

The MSc programme uses inductive learning. Therefore, students work on a real business case over the duration of their studies.
- The live in-company case study is a real corporate consultancy project which will focus on challenges faced by companies such as implementing a new strategy, strategic management, company’s transformation, how to diversify by innovation, etc.
- Students will get involved in hands-on projects to solve complex business issues where only collective intelligence will enable them to co-build solutions to solve the case using a cross-disciplinary approach.

TRACK “ENTREPRENEURS”: CREATING A START-UP

This option will give you the opportunity to create with the concept of a “Start-up studio”:

  • from an idea, how to launch a start-up with dedicated support and advice from experts, investors…using Kedge Entrepreneurship facilities: incubators, learning labs, developing your network with other startuppers and investors, company leaders
  • from a “wish”, how to co-pilot the creation of a start-up, work with others startuppers.

INDUCTIVE LEARNING, TRAINING AS A SERVICE (TAAS)

The MSc programme uses a flipped classroom pedagogy:
- knowledge is delivered online (distance learning),
- know-how and soft skills are validated by hands-on experience working in group projects throughout the year.


Students have access to online training modules as a digital support to the in-company live case (training as a service concept). Learning platforms facilitate online support for advice at any time, and according to student individual needs. Moreover, this service offers an inductive teaching method encouraging students to be active and to seek out information.

THE HACKATHON, OPEN INNOVATION CHALLENGE

To solve a real business case, the one-month hackathon will gather in a competition internal and external students with different backgrounds: engineers, managers, designers, business executives etc. with the objective of building cross-disciplinary teams, thinking differently and out-of-the-box, and working connected with a different environment.

A STUDY TRIP

A one-week study trip is included in the training. The latter will take place either in Silicon Valley or in Israel (the decision will be taken at the start of the school year by the program's steering committee). This study trip will allow you to discover startups and innovative companies in total immersion in their environment.

Several other study trip options will be proposed, with objective to go beyond the frame of reference and benchmark good practices in terms of innovation or entrepreneurship.
For example: As a partner, visit the Technion Scientific Division, or visit Station F in Paris, or visit the Airbus Bizlab.

EXPERT CONFERENCES

High-level experts or business leaders will give lectures on specific topics to share their experience and expertise: digital, ethics and moral, health and IOT, the impact of new technologies on leadership, agile innovation, start-ups or family business success stories …etc

Get an entrepreneurial spirit - KEDGE
Get an entrepreneurial spirit Georges Klenklé Founder and CEO of DEGETEL GROUP

The stakes for the coming years will be outstanding, because they will be both global and local, disruptive, environmental, collaborative, societal, etc. and the training of new managers who know how to handle all those paradigms simultaneously, then becomes essential to meet those challenges. In this context, we strongly believe that driving innovation and boosting entrepreneurs at the national and international levels are essential. Therefore, we support KEDGE’s initiative in launching this MSc degree. Developing relevant skills will enable young people to get an entrepreneurial spirit, both to create a start-up and to drive in-companies transformation and innovation projects.

Match perfectly the market’s dynamics Sarah Marniesse Development Campus Manager – AFD

Active in more than 110 countries through a network of 85 agencies around the world, the French Development Agency (AFD) assists stakeholders from all sectors towards the transitions necessary for the emergence of a more inclusive and sustainable world through shared growth. As such, we can see the need for the future leaders to integrate an agile and collaborative reflex-based behavior, as guarantors of innovations useful to overcome the upcoming challenges of our world.
The MSc in Innovation, Transformation and Entrepreneurship seems to match perfectly the market’s dynamics by offering students an active learning experience, inviting them to be players themselves in these transitions by integrating the significance of deploying new tools for build-in strategies mobilizing all company’s stakeholders, and by integrating the speed with which the environment is changing. Beyond technical skills offered in this programme, students will develop soft skills needed to be connected to their environment and reinvent more inclusive ways of doing business.

Train managers able to drive innovative projects Richard Caillat Chairman of the HighCo Supervisory Board

This programme aims to train managers able to drive innovative projects within companies with an intrapreneurial spirit, but also to create new businesses. We are convinced that mastering these skills will be an asset throughout their careers in order to promote the emergence of start-ups and the outreach of SMEs, ISEs and major companies at the national and international levels.

Open to innovation-driven culture Christophe Prior Digital Transformation Office Leader – Airbus Helicopters

At Airbus Helicopters, we are leading a transformation process to do even better in our generating value activities. We are making use of the digital dimension as a genuine tool serving the company’s business lines in order to improve the customer relationship and the efficiency of our industrial processes. The aim is to co-build these changes, meaning to boost all stakeholders’ involvement, internally and externally.  This digital transformation raises questions about skills, recruitment and in-house training. Faced with the challenge of a massive need for recruitment in the next 15 years of well-trained entrepreneurs, with strong initiative mindset and open to innovation-driven culture. In order to meet new challenges and build the future together, we support KEDGE’s initiative for this new Msc in Innovation, Digital Transformation and Entrepreneurship.
