The partnership between Hanken & SSE Executive Education and social impact bond fund manager Epiqus Oy received the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) gold award in the category Talent Development for the integration program Business Lead.

The EFMD Excellence in Practice (EiP) Award 2018 winners were presented and awarded during the EFMD Executive Development Conference 17-18 October 2018 in Lausanne, Switzerland, hosted by IMD in partnership with Richemont.

Since 2011, the EFMD Excellence in Practice Awards (EiP) has recognised outstanding and impactful learning & development partnerships in the domains of leadership, professional, talent, organisational and ecosystem development. The winners are selected based on the review of 4 key areas: a documented challenge, an effective partnering commitment, the appropriate L&D initiative and a proven business impact.

“We sincerely appreciate the recognition that the Integration Program Business Lead and our partnership with Epiqus received through this award. The case was received very well and we look forward to continue the discussions we started at the event on how to scale the program globally”, says Marc Hinnenberg, CEO of Hanken & SSE Executive Education.

The integration program Business Lead® is created and run by Hanken & SSE and it combines education, mentorship and internship work and is a fast-track for unemployed educated immigrants and refugees into business life. The full award-winning Business Lead case can be found here.
