#EGADE2021: A year full of transformation, impact and purpose
Dec 17, 2021
Dec 17, 2021 -

DEAN'S MESSAGE

​

Dear EGADE Business School Community,

We are immersed in an environment of many challenges characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Yet, in a world that continues to be conditioned by the impact of COVID-19, we have learned to adapt to unexpected events and demonstrate resilience, agility of response and innovation, and exercise our leadership with responsibility, solidarity, and empathy.

During this time, adaptation has been one of the most important lessons. As organizations and individuals, we must adapt by redefining our vision and strategy to meet the challenges and take advantage of this juncture's opportunities.

As the year draws to a close, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for your unwavering commitment and enthusiastic participation in the various projects and initiatives we have promoted over the past year. In the 2021 Report that we have prepared, you can learn about the highlights of EGADE during the year.

We know that the coming year will bring us new challenges to face and opportunities to capitalize on, but with all the lessons we have learned throughout these months, I am convinced that we are better prepared.

I can only wish you happy holidays and may the year 2022 be full of health, well-being, peace, harmony and prosperity for you and your loved ones.

Osmar Zavaleta
Interim Dean of EGADE Business School
Associate Dean of Research of EGADE Business School and Undergraduate Business School

#EGADE 2021 IN REVIEW

Over the past year, at EGADE Business School, we have been able to continue leading the transformation of our institution towards our purpose of empowering omni-entrepreneurial leaders who create shared value and transform society.

Our students have acquired the knowledge, skills, vision, and experience to transcend in a complex world and positively impact business and society. Our professors have strengthened their commitment to educational innovation, inspiring students to imagine and create opportunities in the challenging times we live in. And our graduates have excelled as innovative business leaders, helping redefine the future of their industries in an environment of constant change and disruption in business.

In 2021, we have adapted our portfolio of academic programs in an agile and flexible manner; incorporated new and innovative learning formats, methodologies, and tools; promoted applied and highly relevant research; and strengthened our ties with strategic, business, and academic partners at the international level. This enormous effort has been achieved through projects and initiatives linked to the school's four pillars.

  • Leadership with Purpose
  • Conscious Enterprise Development
  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation with Impact
  • Digital Transformation of Organizations

TRANSFORMING OUR INSTITUTION TO TRANSFORM THE WORLD

In the last year marked by a conscious return to a new reality, we have strengthened our leadership as a global business school based on our flexible, innovative, and cutting-edge educational model, the impact of our centers of excellence, the quality and prestige of our academic programs, and the careers of our graduates. This transformation effort has been recognized once again by the most important international rankings, which place EGADE Business School as the leading school in Latin America, topping the rankings of prestigious rankings such as QS and Eduniversal.

Conscious Return

  • In January 2021, the gradual reopening of facilities began.
  • The return to face-to-face classes began in a controlled and voluntary manner at all EGADE sites starting in the summer period, the August semester, and the September quarter with the implementation of the hybrid format of the HyFlex+Tec model, with part of the students present in the classroom and the other part, connected remotely.
  • Likewise, in September, 25 international students from 13 business schools were welcomed to the Monterrey campus for exchange studies in a hybrid format.
  • EGADE held its first on-site graduation ceremonies in Monterrey, Mexico City, and Guadalajara between June and July since the beginning of the COVID-19 contingency.
  • Counting these and the face-to-face graduation ceremonies in December, more than 690 purposeful and conscious women and men leaders graduated from EGADE Business School's graduate programs in 2021.

Centers of Excellence

  • The research strategy of EGADE Business School and the Tecnológico de Monterrey Business School is deployed through a network of Centers of Excellence and Research Groups with a Strategic Focus, whose objective is to contribute solutions to the most pressing challenges facing organizations and society. As part of the global scientific community, we continue to co-create applied knowledge and build a robust ecosystem of relevant research that helps catalyze solutions to critical societal challenges.
  • In 2021, we launched the Center for Financial Access, Inclusion and Research (FAIR), in alliance with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth (CIG), which is part of the ecosystem of Centers of Excellence of EGADE Business School and the School of Business, to promote the development of a fairer and more inclusive financial system and a sustainable economy, which contribute to improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable people in Mexico and Latin America.
  • The institution also launched the Center for Conscious Enterprise (CEC), which also lives within EGADE Business School and the Tec Business School, and will promote the principles of conscious capitalism in a cross-cutting manner. To provide further impetus to these efforts, Raj Sisodia, co-founder and global leader of the conscious capitalism movement, joined the Center as Distinguished University Professor of Conscious Enterprise.

PREPARING RESILIENT LEADERS FOR THE NEW GLOBAL CONTEXT

The accelerated process of digital transformation that we experienced this year and last year has undoubtedly allowed us to be more innovative and ambitious in our project to train our students to transform their organizations and communities. Therefore, in 2021, we have strengthened our portfolio of EGADE programs for the challenges and opportunities of a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment.
