On 9th April 2024, ESCP London Campus launched its first event in the C-Suite Talk Series: 'The European Way', featuring Eurostar CEO Gwendoline Cazenave. 

Hosted by ESCP London Campus Dean, Prof. Kamran Razmdoost, this event marked the beginning of a crucial dialogue on adopting European values and shaping the future of management and leadership. The series promises this through the exploration of inspiring stories, insight into overcoming challenges, and exploring future visions.

Inspired by mobility, both transportation and that of ideas, innovation and knowledge, the first discussion followed the story of Gwendoline Cazenave, shedding light on her journey, personal values, and vision for leading Eurostar into the future of mobility and sustainable transportation.

In today's episode, we’re talking to Emmanuel Delcourt an engineer with a focus on transforming agriculture and the food industry who also teaches at ESCP.

Emmanuel shares insights from his extensive experience in transforming organizations, highlighting the critical factors that often hinder successful industrial evolution.

Join us as we uncover the secrets of industrial success and explore how to navigate the complex landscape of transformation.

Robin Lenormand observes how industry has gradually scaled back in Europe over the past 30 years. He looks into the societal impact and offers a perspective on how industry can help overcome some of today’s societal challenges.

Alexandre Tissot talks about how a leader can sometimes be a limiting factor in an industrial transformation effort and  what leadership needs to absorb from day-to-day operations to help build their vision.

Why implementing circularity is a necessity? Our speaker Gregory Richa brings together the major environmental challenges of our time and puts them against the traditional business models we still see in the industry today.

This series is a companion to ESCP Business School and Centrale Supélec’s Specialised Master of Science in Industry Transformation Management.

In each episode, we speak with one of the programme’s professors, to get an understanding of the subject they teach, the theme of their class and the importance and impact their area of specialty is having in today’s industrial landscape.

In these one-on-one conversations, they share their views of what they see as novel enabling factors in the transformation of industrial companies. They offer a perspective on what really matters and what will be the keys to success in the years to come.

Whether you are a student looking to gain further education in industrial transformation management, or a consultant guiding industrial clients, or even an industry manager yourself, we hope this podcast will inspire you and hopefully spark new ideas.
