ESADE ALUMNI 7Annual Report 14/15


The 2014/2015 academic year has been the last year in which we have applied the strategic plan approved in 2011. Over the last four years, we have worked very hard to put this plan into practice, and we have successfully achieved the objectives we set of extending our network and global activities.

During this academic year, we have also focused on drawing up the new strategic plan 2015-2018, a process in which the association’s professional team has been joined by ESADE faculty and staff members, alumni on our Executive Board, Alumni Club members and also external professionals; the participation of all of these people has enabled us to gain a broad overview, which is reflected in a master plan for the future. Taking stock of our changing environment, this plan addresses the important challenges that our as-sociation must face.

The key areas of our work in the academic year 2014/2015, which define our strategic focus, have been:

— A global network, in response to the international profileof the students on ESADE’s programs, who come from more than 100 different countries.

— Support for entrepreneurial activity, helping to look

for funding and providing orientation on business projects.One of the key players in this mission, the ESADE Alumni investors network ESADE BAN, which has doubled its investment to secure 4.7 million euros for 33 business projects, has been named Best Business Angels Network in Spain by the Spanish Association of Business Angels. A genuine success of which we can be proud, spot lighting ESADE as one of the most outstanding schools forentrepreneurship.

— Solidarity, through pro bono consulting work provided by alumni association members. Since the idea waslaunched in 2007, more than 1,500 members have taken part in 170 consultancy projects. On the strength of these figures, our alumni association is quite unique and leads the field in initiatives inspired by solidarity.

— Assisting the professional development of our membersthrough orientation services and activities and programmesfocused on furthering their professional career.

— Networking between members, organising meetups tocreate opportunities for new contacts that will contribute to their professional and personal development. Once again, we must highlight the work performed by our clubs; led by alumni on a voluntary basis, they organise activities and meetings both to update knowledge and to promote networking.

— The avowed intention of enhancing the prestige of ESADE and contributing to its development throughvarious coordinated initiatives and projects, such aspromotion of “The ESADE Challenge for Talent” campaign, a fundraising campaign for scholarships and research, in which the role of the alumni is essential.

I would like to gratefully acknowledge the work carried out by the members of the ESADE Alumni Executive Board, the executive board of the clubs and chapters, the class dele-gates, the pro bono consultants, the mentors and all those who, “gratis et amore”, work together with the excellent ESADE Alumni professional team to enrich our network and make it stronger. Without them, none of the activities described in this report would have been possible.

And finally, I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to our outgoing President, Miguel Trias, for his work over the last five years. It is under his presidency that the suc-cessful results and figures compiled in this report have been achieved, which have placed ESADE Alumni in its current leading position among alumni associations worldwide.

Our aim is to driveentrepreneurial activity in society as a whole, channelling supply and demand between entre-preneurs and investors and helping them to meet and match.

The path of an entrepreneur is a brave one, but sometimes only your own steps will lead to where you want to go. If alumni believe in their idea, we believe in them.

ESADE ALUMNI Annual Report 14/15 16Entrepreneurship

Alumni Entrepreneurship offers support to both entrepre-neurs, through a programme that combines activities and services for project development (business plans, finance, guidance, etc.), and private investors, through ESADE BAN, the ESADE business angels network. Alumni En-trepreneurship makes these investors aware of business projects in which to invest, training activities, networking opportunities and joint investment opportunities with other ESADE BAN members.

SERVICES

1. Orientation for entrepreneursESADE Alumni offers the possibility to arrange a person-alised entrepreneur orientation interview in order to provide the resources for the entrepreneur to define his/her business model and develop a business plan. The dif-ferent stages of definition, launch and consolidation of a business project are analysed.

— Advice following agile methodologies for creating andlaunching a start-up.

— Analysis and detection of strengths and weaknesses in the project.

— Orientation on seeking funding for the project.

2. Legal AdviceWe provide entrepreneurs and investors with guidance and advice on the basic legal requirements that apply to the various stages of development of a start-up pro-ject. This advice is shared in group orientation sessions (Legal Classroom).

3. Mentoring programme for entrepreneursThe mentoring programme is a service aimed at entre-preneurs, through which they receive support from a network of mentors (successful business owners, profes-sionals, entrepreneurs and ESADE BAN investors) over a three-month period.

The aim is to attract professionals with relevant experi-ence in a particular area who are willing to share informa-tion and knowledge (as mentors) and put them in touch with entrepreneurs (mentees) who can benefit from the experience, advice and support of these professionals to advance their start-ups.

ESADE BAN

ESADE BAN is a network of private investors promoted by ESADE Alumni. It serves as a meeting point between investors who are looking for investment opportunities and entrepreneurs with innovative projects requiring finance in their early stages.

This network focuses mainly on energising start-ups and early-stage companies. The type of investment the members of our network prefer is co-investment with other network members or venture capital companies.

Notable examples of ESADE BAN investments include Wuaki.tv, Wallapop, Redpoints, Notegraphy and Signa-turit. Key sectors for investment are technology, health, energy efficiency and industry.

ON CAMPUS

Students on international programs at the Madrid and Barcelona Campuses can look to the International Student Chapter as the key point of connection with the school and the Alumni network. And for those students who decide to stay on in Barcelona after the program, there is the Bar-celona International Chapter.

Both chapters organise update activities and networking meetings, among which particular mention should be made of the ESADE Alumni Evenings. These are meetings with entrepreneurs and executives of recognised international prestige, who share their experience through master classes.

The following persons have taken centre stage in the Eve-nings in the 2014/2105 academic year:

— Joe Dispenza, author of the bestseller ‘Evolve Your Brain’ — Jürgen Stackmann, President of the Executive Committee

at SEAT

OFF CAMPUS

The international Chapters organise training activities and leisure events to ensure that alumni are always up to date and to strengthen international networking. Talks given have included: — U.S. ESADE Alumni Meeting 2015— New Technology business models: the power of Big Data— Challenges in leading, coaching and managing people

in Tomorrowland— A look at the NYC entrepreneurial ecosystem— Conversations about entrepreneurship and the

mobile industry— New trends in digital marketing— Seven matters of concern for future leaders— Interview with António Horta Osório in the ‘Jornal

de Negócios’

GLOBAL ALUMNI NETWORKS

Thanks to the Global Alumni Networks, alumni can col-laborate and exchange knowledge with other institutions and business schools around the world, thereby improv-ing the quality of international events. At the same time, the Global Alumni Networks can offer alumni access to a wider network of first-level contacts.

THE ESADE CHALLENGE FOR TALENT CAMPAIGN

Alumni who are based in a city or province of Spain can take advantage of the 12 Regional Clubs as a point of con-tact. All of these organise ongoing training activities and leisure events to keep alumni up to date at all times and to foster networking.

LIST OF CLUBS

Some of the clubs have their own official LinkedIn groups, which provide an opportunity to debate, share information and stay in contact with alumni in the same area.

FUNCTIONAL AND SECTOR-SPECIFIC CLUBS

Alumni have 20 different functional and sector-specific clubs based at the Campuses of Barcelona and Madrid. Their aim is to promote networking, help alumni stay up to date in their professional field, and share experiences and knowledge about the most recent developments in the sector and/or functional areas.

LIST OF CLUBS

Automobile Sports Management Law Digital Business & ICTPeople and Organisation Management Public Management Family Business Energy & Environment Espai Jaume Vicens VivesFinance Tourism Management Global Business Cultural Industry Real Estate InnovationMarketing Business and Social ResponsibilityOperations Health & Pharma Insurance

HOW DO THE FUNCTIONAL AND SECTOR-SPECIFIC CLUBS WORK??

Club members are the first to hear about forthcoming activi-ties, and they are given priority for registration and access. They have the opportunity to learn from the experience of experts in the sector, and they can network with other alumni who share their field of interest, either in person or through the LinkedIn groups and the directory, which can be searched by sector and function. Furthermore, they are allowed to bring a guest to most of the events.

The clubs are managed by executive boards composed of alumni who apply their experience and their knowledge to organising activities in which networking comes to the fore, and members are brought up to date with the latest developments in the sector or functional area of the club.

INTERCLUB COUNCIL MEETINGS

The Interclub Council is a body consisting of a represent-ative of each of the Functional and Sector-specific Clubs. Its aim is to share the best practices of each Club and to exchange experiences with a view to inspiring oth-er groups. The Council meets with the ESADE Alumni management team three times a year, and during these sessions the latest developments in the Alumni Network are shared, new activities are evaluated and a dialogue is established in which those present can put forward their ideas and proposals.

Belonging to the executive boards of the Functional and Sector-specific Clubs brings a sharp focus to networking and is instrumental in learning about cutting-edge aspects of the particular sector.

FUNCTIONAL AND SECTOR-SPECIFIC CLUBNEWSLETTERS

Some clubs have their own newsletters in which alumni are offered additional information about the sector or functional area, including articles of interest, videos, in-terviews with professionals and official studies and the calendar of the club’s activities.

CLASS REUNIONS

Class reunions enhance professional and social rela-tionships between alumni from the same class, as well as giving them an insight into ESADE’s present and its plans for the future.

At ESADE Alumni we offer support and ideas, custom-ising the reunions according to the needs of each class. Moreover, we have collaborative agreements with vari-ous restaurants, bars and party venues, making it easier and less expensive to organise exclusive activities to suit each class: dinners, tasting events, cultural routes, talks, symposia and class anniversaries.

CLASS SCHOLARSHIPS

More and more alumni are making a commitment to tal-ent and the future of ESADE through class scholarships. An increasing number of classes are setting up their own class scholarship to finance the studies of future ESADE students with their own donations.

— The following classes are in the process of setting up jointclass scholarships: Lic&MBA 80, Lic&MBA 83, Lic&MBA 96, Lic&MBA 97, Lic&MBA 98.

— This academic year, MBA15 and BBA15 have createdclass scholarships.

— The following class scholarships have been consolidated:Lic&MBA 73, Lic&MBA 74, Lic&MBA 81, Lic&MBA 88, Lic&MBA 95, BBA 13 and BBA 14.

CLASS DELEGATE MEETINGS

The meetings with class delegates offer ESADE Alumni a more personalised opportunity to inform the most active alumni in their classes about the latest developments in the Alumni Network and all the services at their disposal. The delegates, who serve as an important link between their classmates and ESADE Alumni, take advantage of these meetings to provide us with feedback from their classes, and this in turn enables the network of alumni to continue growing and improving.

ESADE Alumni supports ESADE’s fundraising efforts by promoting The ESADE Challenge for Talent campaign among alumni, in order to increase the funds raised for the Scholarship Programme.

Thanks to the high profile of The ESADE Challenge for Talent campaign at the most important events staged by ESADE Alumni – such as the Barcelona Annual Conference, where a Giving Back draw was made – and at the meetings of clubs and chapters, it has been possible to reach a large number of alumni and publicise the key message of the campaign: It is of vital importance that everyone close to ESADE be-comes a donor on the Scholarship Programme, in order to give talented students who do not have sufficient financial resources an opportunity to study at the school.

There are now more than 600 alumni who support The ESADE Challenge for Talent, either through individual do-nations or by taking part in joint initiatives such as class scholarships and class gifts.

— This academic year, 2 new joint scholarships have been set up by alumni (MBA 15, BBA 15).

— These join the 7 class scholarships which have already been consolidated (Lic&MBA 73, Lic&MBA 74,Lic&MBA 81, Lic&MBA 88, Lic&MBA 95, BBA 13, BBA 14).

— Furthermore, 7 classes, clubs and chapters are also in the process of creating their respective joint scholar-ships (Lic&MBA 80, Lic&MBA 83, Lic&MBA 96, Lic&MBA 97, Lic&MBA 98, ESADE Alumni Balearic Islands Club and ESADE Alumni UK Chapter).

COLLABORATION WITH FACULTY

ESADE faculty members play an active part in continuous training activities, Matins ESADE presentations and func-tional and sector-specific club events, both within Spain and abroad; their collaboration in the international chapter meetings and their involvement as academic sponsors of the functional and sector-specific clubs and the international chapters contribute to ensuring the quality of the events and reunions with alumni.

— 18 faculty members participate as academic sponsors in the clubs and chapters.

COLLABORATION WITH THE GLOBAL POSITIONING OF THE ESADE BRAND

ESADE has redoubled its social involvement, thanks to an increase in the number of initiatives undertaken by ESADE Alumni both in Spain and the rest of the world.
