Some partnerships last. The strongest ones grow over time.

HEC Paris has been a founding academic partner of BMI Executive Institute since 1999. For more than 26 years, HEC Paris faculty and expertise have contributed to the international dimension of the BMI learning experience. Now, that relationship is taking a new step: BMI International EMBA participants will study directly on the HEC Paris campus.

During the Strategy for Value Creation module, participants will learn from HEC Paris faculty and practitioners, analyse real business cases and apply strategy frameworks to the decisions they face as executives.

They will do so at a school recognised globally for its strength in strategy and executive education:
🏆 #1 worldwide – Master in Strategic Management
QS World University Rankings 2026
🏆 #1 worldwide – TRIUM Global EMBA, Joint Programmes
QS Executive MBA Rankings 2026
🏆 9.90/10 participant satisfaction
Highest among the global top 10 in the Financial Times Executive Education Open ranking 2026

This is more than access to a prestigious institution. It is the next chapter of a long-standing academic partnership – brought to life in Paris and made exclusively available as part of the BMI International EMBA.

More than a guest lecture. Far beyond a study visit.

A full Strategy for Value Creation module, delivered at HEC Paris by its faculty and an executive guest speaker – as an integral part of the Executive MBA, jointly delivered by Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain) and BMI Executive Institute.

On 8–9 October 2026, EMBA participants will work on some of the strategic choices leaders face every day. They will analyse real business cases, work with Paris Executive Education frameworks and the Odyssey 3.14 methodology, and leave with tools they can apply to strategic decisions in their own organisations.

And they will do so at an institution that continues to set global benchmarks:
🏆 #1 worldwide – Master in Strategic Management
QS World University Rankings 2026
🏆 #1 worldwide – TRIUM Global EMBA, Joint Programmes
QS Executive MBA Rankings 2026
🏆 9.90/10 participant satisfaction
Highest among the global top 10, Financial Times Executive Education 2026

Participants who complete the module will also receive an official HEC Paris certificate.

HEC Paris has been a founding academic partner of BMI Executive Institute since 1999. This year, that long-standing partnership takes another step forward, with UCLouvain–BMI EMBA participants completing the Strategy for Value Creation module directly on the HEC Paris campus.

What makes a founder go back to the classroom? 🤔

For Thibault Martin, Managing Partner and Co-founder of HumanX Belgium and alumnus of the International Executive MBA Class of 2026 in Brussels, co-organised by BMI Executive Institute and Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain), the answer was clear: experience had taken him far, but he wanted to step back, structure his thinking, and grow beyond learning only on the job.

With nearly 12 years across organisational psychology, consulting and HR technology, Thibault built much of his business knowledge through practice: growing a company, leading consultants and adapting under pressure.

💬 “I was asking myself: how can I evolve, and how can I become a better manager?”

The EMBA helped him bring new structure, international perspective and peer exchange into real business questions.
“You speak about a certain problem during class or with colleagues from the cohort, and it gives you another angle, another way of thinking.”

When you choose an Executive MBA, you are trusting a promise you cannot verify yourself. Accreditation provides that independent assurance.

BMI’s International Executive MBA has been accredited by EFMD Global since 2006 and is accredited for the maximum five-year term in both Brussels and Vilnius.

In practice, this confirms that the programme has been independently assessed against international standards across key areas:
🟠 Academic quality: faculty, curriculum, programme delivery and governance are evaluated against established international criteria.
🟠 International recognition: accreditation provides an external quality benchmark recognised across markets and institutions.
🟠 Executive learning environment: participant profile, international exposure and the overall learning experience form part of the programme’s quality assessment.

The programme’s international dimension is further strengthened through our academic partnership with Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain), which holds full EQUIS institutional accreditation.

📌 The next International Executive MBA cohort starts in January 2027 in Brussels.

🚀 Are you thinking big enough for the age of AI?

As technology reshapes industries, leaders need to recognise disruption early, challenge assumptions, and identify opportunities others may overlook. This is the focus of Moonshot Thinking: Building an Asymmetric Advantage in the Age of AI, an elective module in BMI’s International Executive MBA, jointly organized with Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain).

Led by Ivan Bofarull, Chief Innovation Officer and Teaching Professor at Esade Business School, the module explores how leaders can anticipate AI-driven shifts, rethink innovation risk, and build asymmetric advantage.

📍 Vilnius | 19-20 October 2026

Join the BMI-UCLouvain International Executive MBA in Brussels to experience this level of learning throughout the programme, or attend the module independently and discover BMI’s executive learning approach firsthand.

🤝 A strong community is at the heart of the EMBA at BMI Executive Institute.

For 27 years in Lithuania and more than five years in Belgium, BMI, together with its academic partners, has been building an international community of EMBA alumni – senior leaders and entrepreneurs who share common values, lead organisations across borders, and continue learning from one another.

Now connecting more than 1,500 leaders, this community grows through meaningful relationships across cohorts, countries and BMI’s two locations. Serge Bagieu, an alumnus of the 2023 Brussels EMBA class, reflects this spirit through his active involvement in events, initiatives and projects, and his commitment to bringing the Vilnius and Brussels communities even closer together.

🏆Earlier this summer, Serge received the BMI Ambassador of the Year Award at the BMI Alumni Gala in Vilnius, organised by our core community partner, the BMI Alumni Executive Club.

The recognition celebrates more than individual achievement. It represents what makes the BMI EMBA experience lasting: an active international network, lifelong learning and alumni who continue to contribute well beyond graduation.

Congratulations, Serge – and thank you for helping the BMI community grow stronger. 🧡

📈 Are today’s executives prepared for tomorrow’s pressure? Aad JCM van Vliet on building future-ready leaders.

AI adoption, succession risk and changing workforce expectations are increasing the pressure on organisations to build leadership capability more deliberately.

Aad JCM van Vliet – Global HR Executive, Founder of Avvartes and Visiting Professor at BMI Executive Institute – highlights three connected levels of leadership development:

🟠 Leading yourself: build the self-awareness, resilience and discipline required to perform under pressure.
🟠 Leading others: create trust, clarity and the conditions in which people can succeed.
🟠 Leading together: strengthen how leadership teams challenge assumptions, make decisions and take shared ownership.

💬 “Leaders cannot consistently lead others beyond the level at which they lead themselves,” he notes.

➡️ Read more insights from Aad: https://shorturl.at/3GHyN.

Through executive education, coaching and customised programmes, BMI supports leaders and organisations in building the leadership capability required for long-term success.

💡 Andres Cúneo on the role of Strategic Marketing in executive leadership

The BMI International EMBA programme is delivered by international faculty from leading business schools across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

One of the teaching faculty, Andres Cúneo, Associate Professor and Head of the Marketing Department at Esade Business School, Visiting Professor at BMI Executive Institute, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, Escuela de Negocios UAI and Aalto University Executive Education and Professional Development, brings a top management perspective on Strategic Marketing directly into the classroom. His course focuses on how leaders can create value for customers and capture value for the firm.

What this means in practice for senior leaders:
🟠 Clear strategic direction becomes essential when markets are louder, more fragmented, and harder to read.
🟠 Customer value, firm growth, and market focus need to be considered together – not as separate management questions.
🟠 Strategic Marketing helps leaders decide what to prioritise, what to leave aside, and where adaptation is needed.

For Andrés, the strength of the classroom comes from the participants themselves:
💬 “BMI EMBA participants bring real-world experience, curiosity, and a drive to rethink leadership.”

These are the types of strategic questions we work through in the BMI Executive Institute International EMBA programme, jointly delivered with Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain), together with experienced peers and international faculty.

🎓 Applications for the January 2027 EMBA cohort are open.

🤔 When is the right time to consider an Executive MBA?

For many leaders, the question appears at a specific point: when responsibilities become broader, decisions become more complex, and functional expertise alone is no longer enough.

In the article, we explore this decision through situations that often mark the next stage of leadership: preparing for board-level work, expanding a business, leading across markets, or recognising that a wider strategic perspective has become essential.

It addresses practical questions such as:
🟠 How is an Executive MBA different from a traditional MBA?
🟠 What are the signs that the timing may be right?
🟠 What kind of leaders benefit most from this format?
🟠 When may an EMBA not be the right choice?
🟠 How can you understand whether the programme fits your current professional stage?

If these topics are already on your mind, this piece may help you structure the decision more clearly.

Your next level of leadership starts with sharper decisions.

Experience can take you far. The next step is transformation: sharper judgement, broader perspective, and stronger confidence in how you think, decide, and lead. The BMI Executive Institute International EMBA, jointly delivered with Louvain School of Management (UCLouvain – Université catholique de LouvainUniversité catholique de Louvain), is a 15-month programme designed for experienced professionals ready for that shift.

During the EMBA journey, transformation becomes both professional and personal:
🟠 Sharper executive judgement across strategy, finance, governance, and market context
🟠 Stronger leadership influence through presence, communication, and people management
🟠 Broader perspective shaped by international faculty, real business cases, and experienced peers
🟠 Greater confidence in leading through uncertainty, innovation, and change

The EMBA is not only about adding knowledge. It is about changing how you approach responsibility, complexity, and growth as a leader.

🎓 Applications are open for the January 2027 cohort.
