🎓 Standing Up for Your Values: How Business Schools Can Navigate a New World Order 🌍📢 In an era of political shifts, economic pressures, and societal change, how can business schools remain true to their core values while adapting to external challenges? We'll address this topic, and more, at our Global Conference for Deans and Directors in May in Berlin. Deans are more than academic leaders—they are the face and voice of their institutions, responsible for: 🔹 Navigating political and economic pressures 🔹 Engaging stakeholders and defending academic freedom 🔹 Ensuring research funding and upholding diversity and inclusion 🔹 Promoting ethical leadership and social responsibility In this thought-provoking keynote, Matt Symonds, CEO of BlueSky Education, will explore real-world challenges facing business schools today and provide a communications toolkit to help leaders protect their institution’s culture, reputation, and values. 🔹 How can deans balance external pressures with academic integrity? 🔹 What strategies can safeguard research independence and funding? 🔹 How do leaders effectively communicate their institution’s mission in turbulent times? Join us for an essential discussion on standing firm in a changing world. Let’s ensure that business schools continue to lead with purpose, impact, and integrity.
