In designing our customised corporate training programme with EDHEC, we started by detailing our expectations and objectives: We wanted to build a community of global OVHcloud leaders to drive transformation on both a collective and individual level. We also wanted to differentiate ourselves as an employer as we were keen to retain and attract new talent. EDHEC Executive Education provided us with experienced and enthusiastic lecturers with whom we designed each training module. Every session was sponsored by a member of our ComEx team. The finalised programme was a fine balance of academic teaching, business knowledge, and testimonials from OVHcloud leaders. Participants provided very positive feedback. We have since seen an improvement in their financial literacy and communication skills, as well as a better understanding of our business challenges. The bespoke programme has enabled participants to actively contribute to our corporate strategy.

EDHEC Executive Education’s tailored corporate training programmes offer tools that are immediately applicable and in line with contemporary business realities. They provide developmental journeys for your aspiring talent and future leaders to bring concrete business value to your organisation. At EDHEC, we believe that there are 3 pivotal axes to successful leadership:

Our programmes will inspire your future leaders to engage others in achieving their best for a common goal. They will learn to develop their teams within a context of positive transformation, deal with HR complexities and adopt a coaching frame of mind.

Perfect your business leadership

Your rising talent will master strategic management, learn how to develop a durable winning strategy, and feel confident in innovating for the long-term benefit of your organisation.

Our clients

Our clients trust us to develop concrete, tailored in-house training programmes that respect the values and intricacies of the company and provide upskilling and managerial transformation. They appreciate our consultancy approach throughout the course and the quality of our responsive, agile and committed programme managers.

The impact of our customised programmes is very much appreciated by our clients. As tomorrow’s leaders are each unique in their own right, they deserve more than standardised training programmes that don’t respect the further cultivation of their leadership qualities, business skills, and soft skills. Rising talent must engage in cultivated interactions and learn to go beyond typically rational decisions that could prevent them from leading positive change within constantly evolving circumstances.
