Following a successful pilot series in 2025, a number of member schools are planning to host modules exclusively for alumni of Global Network for Advanced Management member schools, in 2026 and beyond. Alumni modules follow the style of Global Network Weeks for students, providing an opportunity to pursue intensive study at a network school, in a focused course that leverages the perspectives, programs, and faculty expertise of that school. Alongside counterparts from elsewhere in the network, participants experience a mix of classes and other activities, and meet with experts focused on current business challenges. Details of future modules will be announced on this page, so check back from time to time to see what is being offered and details on how to apply. General information can be found in these FAQs.
GNAM Alumni Modules 2027
Onsi Sawiris School of Business, The American University in Cairo
“Family Businesses and Startups as Economic Launchpads: Governance, Succession, and Entrepreneurial Growth in Egypt”
Egypt's economy has long been powered by two engines running side by side: multigenerational family businesses that anchor entire industries, and a fast-rising startup scene that has produced some of Africa's most celebrated ventures. This five-day experiential program, hosted at the heart of Cairo, explores where these two worlds interact, compete, and increasingly collaborate.
The course is built around a live consulting role play: on Day 1, executives from a leading Egyptian family business and a high-growth startup brief participants on real challenges their companies currently face. Acting as consulting teams -- split between the two companies -- participants develop recommendations through mentored group work, visit a prominent family enterprise to see multigenerational business leadership first-hand, and present their solutions to a judging panel drawn from both briefing companies.
