Welcome!

I chose September 11th date to launch this blog "Inspire and Connect" with an open invitation to all readers and followers, to the very first INSEAD Essentials - Our theme, "How to Make the World a Better Place", will hopefully show that our world and our hope in the future can be stronger than the most tragic event celebrated on that day.

It is my deep conviction that the role of business in the modern society is to contribute to the fundamental and global agenda of making the world a better place, together with leaders from politics, economics, religions, education... The INSEAD Essentials series, starting on October 4th, will be a unique and unprecedented occasion in Paris to reflect on this agenda, with a panel of exceptional speakers including top leaders of GE, Unilever, Euro RSCG, KKR, Egon Zehnder, Equistone, INSEAD etc.

I want to urge you to attend this event, which will be truly inspirational and change-conducive.

This Blog will try from now on to provide you with daily and weekly topics along the lines of "inspire" and "connect".

Inspire: Because everyone of us can only grow through learning, creativity, insights, foresights, joy, feelings, emotions... all triggered by positive sources of inspiration !

Connect: Because everyone of us can only become leaders through sharing, informing, exchanging, giving, opening up... in a world where information flows at the speed of light - thus requiring to connect people and ideas all the time !

I will aim, with the full support and contribution of the teams from INSEAD Alumni Association (the Board, the Executive Committee, the Centers of Excellence, the Staff...), to give you a daily dose of inspiration and connections, on which we hope you will be able and eager to react.

Welcome again on this blog. Enjoy and be inspired.

Amicalement,

Jean-Marc
