Pr. Frank Bournois, Dean of ESCP says « "Business schools operate in the same fast paced contexts that companies experience every day. We owe our stakeholders a full presentation of what we do and how we are getting for tomorrow. Being EFMD accredited for a specific programme is an incredible guarantee that the programme has been thoroughly scrutinised by peers and experts. It is also a way to demonstrate the robustness of our programmes. It can be carried out for different reasons depending on how a business school makes its portfolio of programmes evolve over time. The EFMD Programme Accreditation is clearly filling a strategic need in the current offering of programme evaluation."
