École des Ponts Business School has recently inaugurated its new home on the 5th floor of Leonard:Paris. But there is much more to the relationship than sharing a common space! The move is part of a larger partnership that aims to unleash innovation within the VINCI Group.
All VINCI employees and business units can now take advantage of the business school’s unique network of professors, researchers and experts from around the world:
Don’t hesitate to contact our team, we’ll be happy to discuss your personal and professional challenges!
How can you prepare your teams and yourself to thrive in a rapidly-changing world, and take on new challenging assignments?
This is probably the best program for up and coming VINCI managers – with at least 5 years experience – who want to develop their leadership skills and boost their careers. The LeadTech Executive MBA includes an innovation project that can be oriented towards a VINCI activity.
How can you maintain a competitive advantage when disruption is the new normal of business?
The Executive DBA is tailored for VINCI managers and experts – with at least 10 years of experience – eager to create and share new knowledge on contemporary business challenges. The Executive DBA can use VINCI challenges, innovations and case studies as the focus of the doctoral research.
What is the next smart move when uncertainty is the new normal of business?
Co-Innovation is part of the DNA of the school. From top management to field professionals, we help teams unleash their creativity, build a shared vision and drive transformation.
How can you grow your talent pool and develop the right skillset to future-proof your organization?
We work with leading and innovative businesses to co-design courses and experiences for all organizational levels. It all starts with a “deep dive”!
Is it important for you to establish thought leadership in your industry?
Our research teams partner with forward-looking organizations. Together, we co-develop research projects, analyze megatrends and showcase innovative practices.
What are the skills you need to build up in a time-efficient manner?
Leadership, Agility, Intrapreneurship, Strategy, Finance, Innovation, Operations, etc. Our training portfolio covers the whole spectrum of business and personal transformation.
Innovation and strategic design are not a one-size-fits-all process.
Our network of facilitators and instructors from around the world master a wide range of approaches and methodologies to summon collective intelligence and creativity:

Successfully addressing the challenges of tomorrow, today, requires starting with an empty page, an open mind, and the ability to gain a 360° understanding of your organization and your training objectives. That is something we call the “deep dive”.
Each deep dive is different and takes multiple forms – an exploratory audit, a review of relevant business and academic literature, a study of related technologies and start-ups, discussions with a wide range of experts, including labs and researchers, etc. Only once we are sure we have a deep enough understanding and that we are asking the right questions, do we co-design the specifics of a program with and for our participants and/or their management.
The prism of research, expert, industry, start-up, and business perspectives, augmented by relevant technical expertise and our proprietary co-design process allows us to create programs that are not only unique, but also uniquely able to catalyze long-lasting impact in people and their organizations.

How can you gain clarity on complex and ambiguous business challenges?
Today, École des Ponts Business School has four main research initiatives: the Circular Economy Research Center (CERC), our UNESCO Chair on Futures Literacy & Anticipatory Systems, the Center for Advanced Studies and Expertise (CASE): AFRICA, and the CPC-Paris (Center for Policy and Competitiveness).
The school is also developing additional research initiatives dedicated to Technology Management, Agility & Digital Transformation, to Advanced Leadership, and more. EPBS is a founding partner in the B Academy of B Lab France which is performing research on companies linking purpose and profit.
Writing a case study on one of your success stories and publishing a peer-reviewed article are some of the ways to build a learning organization and establish thought leadership in your industry;
