To address the health crisis and its economic repercussions, KEDGE Executive Education is supporting businesses in mastering the new challenges brought about by the current situation and adapting to recent government measures. The School offers a range of initiatives, including a series of online coffee conferences and a specific set of remote training programs and support services designed to help prepare for economic recovery.

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted many certainties and long-held beliefs, making it essential to prepare for new paradigms. Work methods will evolve, strategies and activities will need to adapt, and rely on new, more sustainable and resilient business models.

"The role of a leading business school in these times of uncertainty and disruption is, more than ever, to stand alongside companies to support their strategies and maintain the employability of their teams. The KEDGE Executive Education teams have decided to launch a comprehensive additional support initiative to help businesses navigate this crisis," says Jean-Luc Faye, Director of KEDGE Executive Education.
