IMPORTANT-2012 INSEAD Social Entrepreneurship Programme in France & Singapore-ISEP

Hi All and especially ISEP grads!

It is that time of year when the INSEAD Social Entrepreneurship Exec Ed programme (ISEP) applications for the year are coming in and therefore also the time to send around a gentle reminder to ask you to submit your suggestions for participants for this year.

We are now in the eighth year of this extremely successful programme and have made a few important changes. First you should know that this year's sessions are scheduled to take place on 11 – 16 November in Fontainebleau and 25-30 November in Singapore. We have added just over a day to the programme itself to reflect new research and emerging concepts in the field. We have been able to attract some new faculty to the programme, deepen some topics, and add some new ones. This makes one of the most unique and powerful programmes INSEAD offers even stronger.

With the increased number of days and faculty sessions we have had to increase our fees, but managed to keep the daily rate the same. We remain focused on addressing the needs of founders, CEOs and senior executives of social enterprises who are at least 3-5 years into the running of social enterprise as well as those involved in the eco-system that support these ventures. We continue to address some of the specific 2nd and 3rd generation challenges facing social entrepreneurs such as strategic scaling and growth, business model innovation, impact assessment, and developing high impact leadership teams.

This is where you come in. Consistently, many of our strongest participants are referred to us by our ISEP alumni. You know the programme best. You know what the network brings, and you know the value it creates professionally and individually. Many of you have already done so but, for those who haven't, take a moment to think about the impressive social entrepreneurs you have come across this past year. Check through your contacts and address book and see who you come across.

Please go here for a flyer and application for this year's ISEP sessions to give you further details on the programme and admission process for you to pass on. Let us know if you have people in your network you would like to recommend for this year's sessions and if you have any questions.

Thank you for your help. We look forward to hearing from you and remaining updated on your work.
