APPROVAL OF THE

MINUTES OF THE

ORDINARY GENERAL

ASSEMBLY OF

26 MARCH 2018

ANNUAL REPORT

2018

WHAT HAPPENED SINCE YOU ELECTED US LAST YEAR?

1. ALIGN AND FOCUS OUR ENERGY ON OUR MAIN

PRIORITIES (BRAINSTORMING ON MAY 1ST )

Overall vision

we want to make the Association more relevant for more alumni

and

we reconfirm our strong willingness to support the schools.

Key priorities (to reach the vision, taking into account our starting basis)

1. Improve our Communication (messages, volume, channels, relevance,

capsules, …)

2. Find new Sponsors (and define a better way to work with them)

3. Connect with the Students (visibility, support, invite to our events, …)

4. Increase our relevance for Young alumni

5. Further segment the alumni (understand needs, target events, …)

6. Working closely with schools.

12/03/2019 7

1.1 HOW ARE WE MAKING OUR PRIORITIES COME

TRUE?

• Each priority is in the hands of a dedicated group of board

members, one of them being the project owner

• We have started reporting on the progress of these working

groups and will now make it a rule to debrief on one or two

priorities in each board meeting

• We have launched project progress sheets to follow our

progress

• We are reconvening on May 1st to take a picture of where we

are and brainstorm on how to unlock the blockages and

progress faster where needed

• We have recruited new board members according to our

needs, whom we hope you will elect later today.

8

1.2 COMMUNICATION

We will revamp our website, our whole communication

strategy and intensify our presence on social networks.

• Havas realised a free diagnostic of the current situation

• A working group led by our VP, Walter Gelens, is working on that

basis to analyse various options and develop recommendations. They

are close to finalising the first set of those.

• We are investing in a new IT system which will lead to a new website

(a responsive one ☺)

➔ GOAL: Improve dramatically our communication, with a

Marketing plan and Matrix, including measurable KPI’s!

9

ANALYSIS: ULB and VUB MA programmes’ students, and ExEdparticipants benefit from a free membership to the Alumni association but hardly know this.

We need to make sure they know this, and want to let them experience “what’s in it for them”

CURRENT INITIATIVES:

• Survey done on what students expect from the Association

• Mentorship Forum “Alumni meet MA students”

• Support to the organisation of BE Solvay 50th Anniversary: help to find speakers for the evening session, sponsors and organisation of a 2 hours lecture on Negotiation where 40+ students participated.

• Brainstorming being organised with the BE re Communication to the students and transitioning to their future new team

10

1.3 FOCUS ON CURRENT STUDENTS AND THEIR

ONBOARDING

1.4 SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS

❖ We financially supported our schools in various ways in 2018 (105k EUR):

❖ Solvay VUB Fellowship programme

❖ Joint schools’ ABIS membership

❖ From Solvay (printed magazine)

❖ From Solvay Digital version

❖ Chair at SBS-ES

❖ Mini-Chairs at SBS-EM

❖ Summer School

❖ Rebranding project of the School (ULB)

❖ Some projects won’t be renewed in 2019, some will be, some new projects will be proposed. We are in active conversations with the Schools to jointly identify where and how we can have the greatest impact.

❖ Reminder: 50% of our Congresses’ profits are dedicated to the Endowment, financing these projects, and other initiatives.

Financially:

1.4 SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS

❖ We have frequent contacts with both Schools around a variety of

topics such as the Rebranding project, the Executive Education

project (content and finance), the contacts with the alumni re

Equis, finding guest speakers in the alumni network for some

courses in the MA pgrm in the context of their future

organisation...

❖ Both deans came to present their achievement sand challenges

to the Board.

❖ The relationships are very good and constructive.

12

But also:

2. MAKE REAL PROGRESS ON OUR IT PROJECT

We launched an RFP, performed a detailed analysis of the

offers received incl. a presentation by 3 of them.

On that basis, we selected our preferred potential provider:

EXPERT-IT

• Currently working on the exact definition of our

requirements, and prioritization of development

• Next step: a complete offer, including milestones,

deadlines, and precise budget

➔ Expected deadlines:

• June 15: 1st release

• November 15: system completely operational

13

A BIG THANK to the IT Group who has done a fantastic work to guide

us in this difficult field and critical decision. And in particular to Evangelia

who is our Project Manager.

3. FURTHER IMPROVE OUR CAREER SERVICES

ACTIVITIES: JOB TEASER

A “career center”, already used by SBS-EM

14

3.2 PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Personal and Professional Development Program (PPD) and Leadership Club

To provide our alumni with opportunities for personal growth through

insights, tools and practice on several topics, in a neutral, secure and

friendly environment, at a reasonable price.

The PPD is deployed along the three leadership axes:

• leading myself,

• leading my team,

• leading in the organization.

Since its beginning, the following events have been organised:

✓ Centered Leadership

✓ Inspirational Leadership

✓ Organizational Intelligence

✓ How to really change your behavior and avoid New Year's resolution syndrome?

✓ Great, a Crisis! & What’s next? From crisis to transformation?

✓ How to frame the job you deserve, with the people you deserve? & (Re)shape your job for

better fulfillment!

✓ Quand Aristote inspire Google, nos équipes boostent nos entreprises15
