Summary

The age-old dilemma for academia—how best to teach—really is about how best to learn. To produce the innovative, inspired, and visionary leaders that institutions need today, business schools must rethink the learning process and their management education curricula, while retaining their distinctive methods and traditions. This two-session colloquium seeks to improve the learning model by building a global community of management educators who are committed to innovative teaching and course design.

Please note that this program is open only to educators who have been nominated by a participating institution.
