Importance of the Advisory Board

An advisory board is a body that provides non-binding strategic advice to SSBM Geneva. At SSBM Geneva, we believe that in order to remain “Experts in Business Education”, keeping tight connections with industry requirements and answering to industry needs by providing top educational programs is of strategic importance.

The Advisory Board roles and responsibilities are:

  • provide “wise counsel” on issues raised by SSBM Geneva’s management
  • provide unbiased insights and ideas from a third point-of-view (not involved in the operation of the business)
  • encourage and support the exploration of new business ideas
