In 1979, the old Institut National des Télécommunications began training the engineers and managers at France Télécom (today known as Orange) on the same campus. As the two different business cultures starting mixing together and sharing their work, new synergies began to emerge. Today, this hybrid approach remains the driving force behind our Business School at Institut Mines-Télécom, France’s leading Engineering School Group. Helping our students achieve their full potential Institut Mines-Télécom Business School has always been at the forefront of digital and societal transformations. As a Public and socially inclusive higher education institution, we take great pride in welcoming and individually supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds. We help them develop the inter-communication skills and personal qualities required for a successful future in a constantly changing world. Bringing talents together Technology is accelerating the transformation of the world as we know it, meaning that business organisations have to be more agile, open and increasingly horizontal in the way they work. They therefore need talented, responsibly-minded individuals who are capable of taking initiatives and inspiring experts from different fields to work together. At Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, this is our mission. We aim to equip each individual talent with the knowledge and skills to make a key contribution to collective change for a more responsible world.

Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM) was established on August 1, 2012. It evolved from the merger of the former Mona School of Business (MSB) that had a 25 year history of delivering master’s level business management education and the Department of Management Studies (DOMS) which had a rich 42 years history of delivering undergraduate and graduate management programmes.

As a result of demands by professionals as well as MSBMS's forward-thinking approach to delivering top-quality education, in September 2017, the School introduced MSc. programmes in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Corporate Finance, Marketing and Data Analytics and Procurement Management. All programmes are offered in an excellent learning environment, using a pool of talented and highly qualified local and international faculty. MSBM complements its unique academic programmes with cutting edge consultancy services and public policy research, the principal business objective being to provide decision makers with expert advice for handling their most critical strategic issues. In this regard MSBM has handled a large portfolio of multidisciplinary projects in Jamaica and the region relating to leadership and management development, strategic thinking and management, project and performance management systems, and other areas of professional services and continues to contribute to the development of a particular ethos within the business community in Jamaica and the region. Like most Business Schools of repute, MSBM includes unique perspectives and relevant business related content in its publication the MSB Business Review which was launched in 2010. In 2012 the magazine was renamed the MSBM Business Review to reflect the school’s merger exercise.

The Forward College is governed by The Board of Trustees, The Academic Council and the President. The Team is organised into five operational groups which include Staff, Faculty, and Senior Advisors: The Bachelor in Business Leadership (BBL) Development Group The Academic Bachelors Development Group The Careers and Partnerships Group The Outreach, Admissions and Inclusion Group The Management Group The Founding Team Having worked in Government, major Tech companies, social business, and higher education in leadership positions, Boris and Leonor have witnessed how positive leadership relies not solely on expertise and rational thinking but also on other forms of intelligences: social, emotional, practical and technological. At the heart of their vision lies a desire to develop a more human and holistic model for higher education that is fit for the future of work and global challenges. VISION Resynchronising Higher Education Our times call for a switch towards a more positive and human model of leadership. This new leadership shall leverage all forms of human intelligences and skills: cognitive but also social, emotional, practical and technological. Blending tradition for excellence and innovation for relevance, FORWARD COLLEGE offers a unique programme designed for bright students who wish to bring about positive change. New Leadership Society and Businesses are evolving from hierarchical structures where leadership is about reaching positions of power into communities and networks where leadership is about engaging people for a shared purpose across areas of expertise, cultures, social backgrounds, and organisations. This engagement-based leadership reflects the changing aspirations of younger generations who wish to make change happen here and now, of employees wanting to feel engaged rather than “managed”, of citizens who seek to participate more actively in decision-making processes. Engagement-based leadership is relevant for business organisations that are increasingly decentralised, co-operative, and immersed in complex ecosystems. It is also more relevant for tackling highly complex challenges in areas including ecology, geo-politics, and economic inequality where top down approaches are proving ineffective. “MY BEST ADVICE: DEVELOP A REPUTATION OF EXCELLENCE IN THE THING THAT YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR.” JEFFREY SAMPSON, FOUNDING MEMBER OF APPLE UNIVERSITY Based on All Human Intelligences Engagement-based leadership emphasises the central importance of human processes, requiring it to draw on the full range of Human Intelligences: “Training promising students into developing all of these Human Intelligences will nurture a powerful yet diverse set of values, beliefs, knowledge, and skills that are the key components of engagement-based leadership.”
Since its founding 25 years ago, the University of Potsdam has excelled in research and teaching and is well positioned both on a national and international scale. Achieving this under consistently difficult economic conditions speaks for the quality and motivation of our professors, research, and administrative staff. Now it is essential to consolidate and extend this position. We want to play an active role among Germany’s leading research universities on a sustained basis. And, of course, we also want to take top positions in our areas of studies. This is the only way to attract the brightest and most-talented minds to Brandenburg and to offer them career perspectives. We are convinced that investments being made in research and teaching today will pay off for Brandenburg in the near future. This is why we actively engage in qualified training of skilled personnel that we urgently need and ensure a rapid translation of the latest scientific findings into practice. It is of particular concern to us to win strong political, economic, and social partners. When we report about our work here, we do not only want to inform you but also arouse your interest and show connecting factors which improve the density and stability of our network for education, science and knowledge transfer – to the benefit of Brandenburg.
