Euromanager and Instituto de Empresa together with InterSearch Worldwide

Graduates of the Instituto de Empresa (IE) will have from now on the opportunity to access the extensive InterSearch international network of which Euromanager is the exclusive member in Spain.

The agreement Euromanager and the Instituto de Empresa have recently signed aims to provide the IE students with already a solid professional and managerial background easy access to 90+ offices of the InterSearch network – the largest worldwide – and allows Euromanager to establish a strategic alliance to get in touch with a highly valuable Talent pool from one of the most prestigious and renowned business schools in the world.

Alberto Abadías, Euromanager partner, stresses that the agreement “allows IE alumni to get in touch with each of the InterSearch offices to explore career opportunities once they are in the country that interests them and, on the other hand, facilitates Euromanager’s contact with the talent graduated from a centre of excellence that’s recognized worldwide”.

The agreement was announced at an event held at the Paper Pavilion on Calle Serrano in Madrid. Students, alumni, professors, representatives of the Instituto de Empresa and Euromanager, as well as managers from the HR sector and the business world, attended.

A round table took place in which Marta Bretos, corporate HR director of the international Grupo Prisa, Juan Lizariturri, independent director and Mariano Ballesteros participated, with the moderation of Ana Herranz, director of Alumni and EMBA Career Services at IE. It covered topical issues, such as new leadership profiles and the required skills in today’s changing and digitalized environment.

Bretos stressed that “leadership changes, especially to become more collaborative, cross-functional and accessible. We are looking for leaders who share their values ​​much more with their teams and who improve the general conditions of the team.”

Following this line, Ballesteros maintained that “organizations tend to be more cross-functional and training more multidisciplinary. It is very important that people working on different projects can contribute to them differently. In other words, you have people on the same team who come from IT, finance, HR or sales and work together with a common purpose and learn from each other.”

Bretos explained that “in the midst of digital transformation, what we value most is how the candidate moves in the digital environment” and pointed out as fundamental values ​​”collaborative work, innovation, proactivity, resilience and acceptance of some role changing in the organization”.
