EGADE U Week 2023 is nearly here! The fourth edition of the updating program for alumni and alumnae of EGADE Business School -Tecnológico de Monterrey will revolve around the methodology Moonshot Thinking: The Journey to Leadership Transformation.

This executive learning experience will take place on March 23, 24, and 25 at the Monterrey site of EGADE Business School.

María Livas, director of Alumni Relations at EGADE Business School, explained that, in this edition of EGADE U Week, the EXATEC EGADE community will embark on a journey towards the transformation of their organizations, regardless of whether they are consolidated large companies, small enterprises, or startups.

“We will be discovering the potential of a mental model, moonshot thinking, which, when applied methodically, can serve as a tool to help companies avoid disruption and emerge with enhanced strength from the same,” she said.

Alfonso Ávila, Innovation and Entrepreneurship professor at EGADE Business School and academic leader of EGADE U Week, assured that participants will take away the key points of moonshot thinking as a new organizational habit that can be applied in their company and their daily decision-making.

He added that they will also acquire greater insight into the keys of disruptive innovation.

“Viewing disruption as an opportunity rather than a threat will be the mindset after this journey,” Ávila explained.

• Horacio Arredondo, dean of EGADE Business School
• Iván Bofarull, Chief Innovation Officer at Esade and author of the book "Moonshot Thinking"
• Juan Pablo Murra, rector of Higher Education at Tec de Monterrey
