Dear Alumni,

Don’t miss the opportunity to attend this unique event and join us for the Digital Transformation INSEAD Forum, that will take place on October 25^th (Mr. José Luis Sancho, Partner and Innovation Lead at Accenture, will welcome us), including a masterclass session with INSEAD Professor and Deputy Dean Peter Zemsky, followed by an industry experts panel moderated by Peter himself.

It is not surprising that digital has come to dominate the discussions of global business leaders from New York to Shanghai. How can we make sense of these profound shifts? What are the implication for business strategy and management education? To what extent do you need to change your approach to strategy for an age of digital disruption and transformation? Why the increasing emphasis on strategic agility today What are the limits?

Management education is not immune to these dynamics. Both content and delivery need to adapt. With entrepreneurial spirit as one of its founding values, how is INSEAD rising to the challenge? Come hear directly from Professor and Deputy Dean Peter Zemsky, who is an expert on strategy and innovation and responsible for INSEAD’s digital and tech strategy.

After the masterclass, we will have a round table with three industry leaders moderated by Peter Zemsky:

• Isabel Fernández, Managing Director & Lead of Advanced Analytics Iberia
• Maite González, Global Chief Innovation at Mapfre RE
• Jose Luis Agundez, Chief Strategy Officer at DrumWave

The event will take place at the new Accenture auditorium on the 31st floor of Torre Picasso, with amazing views of Madrid. Then we will move to the innovation Hub (7th floor) to share a dinner/cocktail from 21:00 to 22:30.
