Alumni Special Interest Groups
In the UK there are eleven Special Interest Groups (SIGs) which are run by alumni and industry members with interests in particular sectors. Each of these aim to hold at least three meetings a year, usually in London or Henley. These are open to all alumni members and their guests and are becoming increasingly international. We are always looking for new speakers and venues. If you have any suggestions, please contact the Henley Alumni Office on alumni@henley.com or +44 (0)1491 418 843.
The Construction & Real Estate Group
Over the last three years, the Group has hosted a number of engaging and topical presentations, including the Impact of the Olympics, Sustainability in Construction, and Surviving the Downturn. Going forward, the impact of the continuing economic volatility, changing political landscape, and emerging policy agenda, provide many topical themes for future debate.
eBusiness Group
The e-Business Special Interest Group has been running for over 14 years and has had over 45 meetings. The group has evolved over that time from when business was confused by technology, to start up businesses riding the dot come wave to now a more mature business perspective with a more holistic view of technology and change.
FRESHenley
FRESHenley exists to help its members get the entrepreneurial bug! Its members have the opportunity to meet like minded individuals and to hear from those who have taken the 'leap' and set up businesses themselves.
Healthcare Group
The Group provides a common ground for members to network and to learn about the potential for synergies across the healthcare and associated industries, both in the UK and internationally. It has a wide and inclusive remit to cover those policy, strategic and commercial issues facing all areas of healthcare.
The Henley Emerging Markets and International Business Forum
The Henley Emerging Markets and International Business Forum aims to strengthen links, knowledge and insight between practice, policy and research at Henley and beyond across sectors, functions and organisational silos and disciplines. Areas of focus in the next 12 months will include the Gulf, South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) and ethnic minority markets in the West including Islamic Finance.
The Henley Finance Club
The Finance Club established in 2010 has been set up to promote finance related activities and careers development events for Henley Business School alumni and associates. The club will cater to members with a wide variety of finance related interests - whether it is Investment Banking, Investment Management, Venture Capital/Private Equity, or Corporate Finance and Risk Management.
The Henley Third Sector Network
Launched in 2007, the aim of the Network is to provide personal and professional development and networking opportunities for alumni who work in the third sector, who may be thinking of a career change, or who may simply be interested to expand their management and personal horizons.
Leadership of Organisational Change
This group is open to all who are interested and involved in helping their organisations cope with the organisational and people implications of any transformation. It provides a forum to explore experiences, skills and techniques in the leadership and management of change.
The Marketing & Sales Group
Founded in 2010, the Henley Marketing & Sales Group was created to offer a dynamic network for sales and marketing professionals across mediums, industries and geographies.
The Sustainable Business Group
This group aims to be an integral part of a community practice at Henley that is committed to supporting individuals and organisations progress on the journey towards sustainability. The SIG is concerned with the leadership, change, enterprise and innovation required to get sustainability understood and lived in every aspect of organisations rather than contained in specialist departments.
