Why Advantere
Father Arrupe, a former general of the Society of Jesus, used to say:
“It scares me that we can give yesterday’s answers to today’s problems”.
It is with that spirit and reason that Advantere was born.
From the solidity and prestige of the institutions that support Advantere, its purpose is to re-think and define the management and the education of the leaders that organizations and society need today and tomorrow. Its purpose is to accompany young people and professionals in their development as individuals and as the best people for others and the world. A world radically different from the one we know, in which change exceeds the human capacity to adapt, with new rules that are yet to be written, a world in which we all must necessarily be committed to making it fairer, more sustainable, and even re-generate it.
Transformingmanagementeducation
in accordance with the needs of the fourth industrial revolution and the challenges faced by our students, professionals, leaders, organizations and society. We call our approach “Re-solutionary learning”
Promotingmanagers andleaders
as people for others, with a transcendent meaning in their lives and their professional responsibility, being able to generate and transmit purpose with a spiritual dimension.
Our manifesto
We’re re-designing business school. We’re re-defining a new management approach, focused on adding solutions and the common good. We’re determined to advance, attracting the best people for the world.
We want authentic Re-solutionaries: heroes and organizations striving for dignity and social justice, making the unbelievable possible.
We’re more than a business school: we shape challenge managers. We have re-acted to the discovery that we have to re-learn the way we learn because new times require new solutions and the best collaborators.
— We’ve created The Re-learning method- a real-time, genuinely project- based re-learning.
— We have the support of the Society of Jesus and the backing of Jesuit universities such as Comillas, Deusto and Georgetown.
— We are also going to collaborate with leading companies that share our philosophy.
— And we have you.
If you want to make an impact, if you want to add value, if you are resolved to advance, then you’re a Re-solutionary…
And we want you on board.
Add value, Add solutions, Advantere. Re-solution to advance.
