2018

Systemic acceleration

In 2018 began a fundamental cycle of transformations of the institution. Audencia Business School will switch to a hyper-connected, international web-world, as highlighted by José Maciel, Administrative and Financial Director of the institution: “The launch of Phase 1 of the work on the Atlantic campus will provide an impetus for that change. We will initiate a major project for the redesign and innovation of the existing areas: the cafeteria, library, reception and Tripod will be reviewed and reinvented to be transformed and connected to the rest of the world. We will also create central living area. These transformations of the campus structure will be the most visible parts of a reform program that will continue and accelerate in every direction – a fully shared purchasing policy, the deployment of new digital networks, etc. – that will irrigate all the components of the school, as José Maciel explains: “This may surprise some, but we want to rely on a concept generally reserved for the world of start-ups and digital stakeholders that move forward and which concerns the user experience. This approach is based on the wide-ranging integration of the expectations of students and employees to define organizational models. Our basics, which are international scope, CSR and collaboration in particular, determine our processes and determine the degree of availability and service quality.” Such an offer implies considerable modularity of spaces and systems, a high degree of connectivity everywhere and agility in the decision-making processes that the Administrative and Financial Department (DAF) intends to promote among all the employees of Audencia Business School.
