Here the focus is on developing mental flexibility and emotional intelligence, in order to thrive in complexity, balancing seemingly opposite demands. Drawing on the neuroscience-based SCARF model, in this session participants develop ways of anticipating and dealing with resistance in others. The session outcomes are behavioural scripts for managing paradoxes and aligning the expectations and actions of clients, students, faculty and administrative staff.

Plenary 4 – Partnerships for Impact
This session introduces the stream dedicated to partnerships and impact. Business school Deans and institutional representatives will discuss how to provide positive impact through partnerships.

10:00 – 11:15

Sharing Best Practice Sessions: Partnerships

B1 The Nova Case: Partnering with business

• Marta Assunção, Head of Communications, Nova School of Business & Economics, PT

B2 What is the local impact of international partnerships?
Local stakeholders are often dubious about the impact of international partnerships on the Business School’s local or national impact zone. Yet, based on the experience of business schools involved in impact assessment, we know that international partnerships, but also international implantation of campuses, have a significative impact on local or national economy.
The aim of the workshop will be, based on testimonies of Deans, to identify this impact, and in doing so, help business schools to convince their stakeholders of the importance and relevance of international partnership and strategies.

Each group will work on the same case study and will have the possibility to share their findings with the rest of the audience.

Structured Workshops – What Does This Mean for Me?
Aim: in the morning, participants will have heard from Santander and worked on a case study. It is now time they ask themselves what they already do, should explore, consider or even invent, and more importantly what they need to change or stop in regards to the way they work in order to move forward. They will share and discuss in smaller groups. Each group will be given the same frame where they should apply their own case. It will then be easier to identify where it “hurts” for each institution and peers in the room can even possibly help with a solution.
