"I think that the CVO EMBA meets a strong market expectation, with a balanced mix between academic contributions and very operational testimonies to illustrate the ongoing transformation of the measurement, control and audit professions to get them to the “multi-capital” world. I am proud to make my contribution by teaching green investment strategies, especially those related to the energy transition."
Julien Rivals
Co-Managing Partner, Deloitte Sustainability
"The CVO EMBA responds to a growing and urgent need for companies to rethink the measurement and management of their performance, from a more global perspective, allowing a real transformation of their business models. By enrolling in this programme you will acquire both technical skills to define, measure and audit the multi-capital performance of an organization, but also managerial skills to support change through an integrated, systemic and long-term vision, responsible leadership and openness to stakeholders."
Manon Mura
Sustainable development project manager
"The CVO EMBA offers a rich education, with a mixture of theory and practice to update, deepen and acquire knowledge of multi-capital accounting that affects the daily life of the company. Thanks to high-quality professors, it gives access to the latest developments, to ongoing research to change behaviors. The dreamed Executive MBA."
Richard Spencer
Director of Thought Leadership at ICAEW
"I am delighted that Audiencia has become an ICAEW Partner in Learning with its Chief Value Officer EMBA programme. Increasingly public expectations of businesses are for them to take account of nature, people and society in strategic way. This means building business dependencies and impacts on these capitals into mainstream decision-making. We now know from recent our experience of the COVID-19 crisis that this is not optional but necessity: there is a general recognition that the rebuild must be green and fair to build resilience into our systems. The emerging narrative of capitals with its focus on how economic and business success is rooted in thriving societies and an abundance of nature is now becoming normative. As a consequence the Chief Financial Officer does indeed become the Chief Value Officer and this EMBA plays a crucial role in equipping professional accountants for that role."
