A network that opens doors. Today and beyond

At TIAS, you don’t just come to learn; you step into a network that expands your perspective and accelerates execution. You work with peers, faculty, alumni, and partner organizations who understand your challenges and help take them further.

Why network development at TIAS?

Your impact grows when knowledge, experience, and relationships come together. In every program, we connect academic depth with a community that challenges you, holds up a mirror, and opens doors. What you discuss on Friday moves on Monday. Within your team, with your client, and across your value chain.

  • Shared language, shared progress. You build a vocabulary for strategy, governance, and change that you can share directly with your organization.

  • Fast access to relevant expertise.
    Through peers, faculty, and alumni, you quickly find the right perspective—or the right case—to move forward.

  • Value that lasts.
    Your network grows with your role and context—from your first masterclass to (E)MBA and beyond.

How we build your network

  • In your program

    • Learning teams & co-creation — small groups, sharp dialogue, practical assignments around your real challenge.

    • Peer consulting — test decisions with each other and sharpen priorities.

    • Faculty & expert lines — direct access to faculty and guest experts with deep domain insight.

  • After your program

    You remain part of the TIAS community. Through events, knowledge updates, and the Alumni Platform, you meet peers and experts—within and beyond your field. You share cases, stress-test choices, and discover new angles. Your perspective keeps moving, and your impact grows: across your organization and in society.
