EVENT DETAILS
Internationalisation is at the core of business schools driven by the mission of developing global managerial and leadership talent for the world.
However, business schools are entering an era of hyper-competition to attract talent, earn reputation and grow resources. The headwinds for internationalisation strategies are especially unfavorable for attracting international students in the context of decreasing post-study work opportunities in some countries, weakening brand positioning and differentiation, and increasing alternatives available through transnational and online opportunities.
How can business schools future-proof their internationalisation strategies? Join an interactive online panel discussion will bring together diverse perspectives from business school leaders on emerging trends, challenges, and best practices for advancing global engagement in times of disruption.
Attendance to this webinar is free but requires registration in advance.

CONTENT
The future of management education worldwide will be very different from the past. Nowadays, we see business schools encounter an unrivalled level of disruption and complexity, starting from demographic changes and geopolitical pressures to the emergence of novel learning technologies and shifts in the way learners want to access and digest information. As the business school sector is growing in Asia, with non-Asian players also aggressively enhancing their footprint in region, they need to adjust their strategies to continue to serve market needs. India will play a significant role in Asia’s development as it is projected to become the 3rd largest economy in the world by 2020, and 2nd by 2030. Indian business schools should aim for a similar development trajectory and become more relevant globally. This EFMD GN Professional Development workshop will enable business school leaders to discover, evaluate, and refine concrete and actionable steps towards this goal that their schools can implement and scale.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The workshop will use an overview of EFMD’s quality services activities as a starting point to discuss workable pathways towards enlarging a business school’s international footprint and recognition. Participants will learn:
- how to rework your school’s institutional strategy to target improvements in international recognition,
- how quality improvement frameworks (e.g. accreditations, rankings, internationalisation & impact agenda) can be used in support of a school’s transformational journey,
- how to become an internationally recognised producer of relevant knowledge in the face of tight financial constraints
- how to respond to current market challenges with an intensification of impact & engagement,
- how to use smart data management to support of institutional development
TARGET GROUP
The workshop is targeted at business school executives with strategic & managerial responsibilities. These include Deans, Associate/Vice Deans, Programme Directors, Heads of Accreditation and International Relations.

Event Details
Objectives
The EFMD – HUMANE Winter School aims to develop the leadership potential of talented Senior Managers by making them fully aware of:
- The concepts and practices of strategic management in a European context;
- The importance of integrating academic matters, finances, human resources, governance, leadership and communication strategy in the elaboration of university strategy.
Themes
The Winter School focuses on leadership skills and the “big picture” of management (how to identify and implement necessary changes). Throughout the week participants work on a case resolution on the internationalisation strategy of a University. The context of university life and the developing scene across Europe provide a unifying thread – this is not just “yet another” management course.
Who can apply?
The Winter School is designed for talented fast-rising managers of administration or services, some of who might become heads of administration. The typical candidate will be someone who has the potential to become an influential senior manager and/or head of administration in the future but who at this moment may not be a deputy or senior colleague. Candidates may be an expert or a specialist with the potential to broaden responsibility and move in due course to a senior management position. Applicants are nominated by their own head of administration, their dean or equivalent in their organisation. They are selected by an EFMD- HUMANE panel with extensive experience of leadership management development programmes.

This workshop is by invitation only and is dedicated to corporate learning and corporate HR practitioners from companies. Free of charge for EFMD member companies and special guests (special guest = ONE free seat to attend ONE workshop for discovery for non-members).
Theme
Learning and development have long been a key strategy enabling function by building the mindset, knowledge and skills necessary to execute strategy. Besides helping individuals navigate their professional careers within a given framework.
Increasingly, talent development evolves into an agent of corporate transformation, becoming more of an organisational development function, pulling many levers enabling adaptive change.
This requires a systemic view and an understanding of how learning, coupled with select other forces, can drive fundamental change in an organisation.
During our Sharing Best Practice workshop, David Jestaz, VP Faurecia University, will share how Faurecia University engages all 110 000 Faurecians on their transformational journey through three levers:
- develop a narrative as a guideline for various activities to help leaders explain, engage and motivate people;
- build a comprehensive learning offer for all to understand and practice the technology & knowledge revolution faced by the automotive industry;
- organise a larger diffusion of agile methods to increase the speed of innovation and integrated client solutions.
Under the theme “Learning at the heart of corporate transformation,” the Sharing Best Practice workshop will be Hosted by Faurecia University, from 21 (evening) – 22 March in Paris.
Join us and be among the first to discover a one of a kind experience, Faurecia’s “Transformer Box” – a unique tool developed to encourage teams to get collectively engaged.
The Faurecia experience will be enriched by other companies’ cases, conceptual inputs from Capgemini, Engie and Parker Hannifin. You will discover related design thinking applications and connect in interactive small groups.

CONTENT
The future of management education and research is digital. Data management therefore plays a central role in leading the modern business schools forward. Data management supports external compliance, accreditation, rankings, stakeholder accountability, strategizing, benchmarking, risk management, internal management-by-objectives, portfolio performance measurement, assurance of learning, publishing and granting quality assurance more generally – a list that can easily be further extended. As a consequence, business schools (as well as their parent organizations) have to collect, process, analyze and maintain more data than ever before. This trend of institutional management becoming more data driven is likely to continue in the foreseeable future.
As data management is assuming a more strategic and central role in business school development, it also requires systematic senior management attention. This workshop will act as an enabler and platform for the further professionalization of data management in business schools. It will provide an interactive learning environment and ample of networking opportunities to participants and fellow practitioners. Participants will develop an in-depth understanding of Smart Data Management in business schools and higher education context using an ecosystem perspective and they will be able to evaluate the positioning of their institution in the light of the basic principles and best practices of SDM.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will:
- Gain an in-depth understanding of the general principles of smart data governance and learn how to operationalize them in institutional data management;
- Learn how to strengthen their institutional strategy and link it to data management strategy and data ecosystem;
- Share and learn from fellow practitioners on how to best develop a smart data governance framework to support the development of at their respective institutions;
- Develop security awareness by understanding the needs of current compliance and information security issues;
- Increase their knowledge of smart data management as a key contributor to sustainable quality assurance;
Target group:
The workshop is targeted at business school executives with strategic/managerial responsibility for data management involving data governance/strategy, data management and/or quality processes or parts thereof. Deans, Associate Deans (with data management in their brief), CIO and Heads of Accreditation will benefit from this workshop.

The Future of Management Research in Europe in 2030 (FMRE project) Coffee break included
The purpose of this session is to suspend thinking in the here and now and imagine the long-term future of how European business and management education might evolve over the next 15 years. If we have a god grasp of the main driving forces and how they will shape that future, then we can create three or four scenarios of the future. An examination of each one can help us prepare a better strategic response today. This hands-on workshop has been popular in each cycle of the programme as it opens up mindsets to different thinking and to different thoughts.

08:30
Walk to school
09:00 – 10:00
Responsible Research in Business and Management
The research driven craze that has led to a privileging of papers in four-star journals has had some unintended consequences in two main areas. First, the science used in those papers has been subject to great scrutiny and critique, with many papers being retracted before and after publication. Second, the critique from many engaged stakeholders like businessmen and politicians has called into question the relevance and usefulness of such work. The UK Education Minister described business and management academics as a ‘bunch of people talking to themselves’. This session will examine the causes of our current situation and suggest a way ahead.
- Peter McKiernan, Academic Director of the Programme; Professor of Management, University of Strathclyde, UK
10:00 – 11:00
The Future of Business Schools in Europe
Business schools compete in a strategic arena that has been booming while being plagued by several severe issues. The rules of the game have tightened as Business Schools search for ever more resources to build reputation. In this context, research plays a critical role linked to rankings and accreditations. The dynamics at work in the arena and their implications need to be fully understood to discuss how research leadership may navigate the troubled waters of the tense and demanding system now in place in Europe and beyond.

Event Details
THEME AND MOTIVATION
Business Schools are under increasing demand to demonstrate their impact and are referring more and more frequently to the issue of impact when defining their mission/vision/strategy. In 2018, out of the 55 schools to which the AACSB and EFMD board members belong, 42 (that is 76%) use the terms “impact” or “influence” in defining their core purpose. More importantly, schools are becoming increasingly aware of the strategic value in assessing, measuring and analysing impact.
EFMD Global Network in cooperation with HEC Liège will host on 24-25 April 2019, its first BSIS symposium on “Assessing Impact – Questions and Answers”, to take place at the premises of HEC Liege, Belgium.
Since its launch in 2014, BSIS, run as a joint venture between EFMD Global Network and FNEGE, has successfully assessed 32 business schools all over the world and is a proven tool for Business Schools to demonstrate their real impact, meaning and legitimacy within their communities.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This one and half day event aims to widen the debate on impact assessment, examine current trends, share global best practices and provoke insightful discussions. The first day of the event will be open to schools that have undergone the BSIS process to share their experiences and learning outcomes. The second day will explore in detail all aspects of impact assessment including the opportunities, methodologies and challenges and is open to all school representatives interested in learning more about the assessment process.

Event Details
AINP Europe is unlike anything currently offered in the market. Designed as a cohort learning, executive education experience, this comprehensive program utilizes a combined learning methodology that includes lectures, cases, group discussions, workshops, and individual contribution to help participants master the admissions profession. Experiential learning is key. As part of an interactive classroom environment, you will discuss the Cave Hill Business School Case Study. Cave Hill, which is a fictitious business school based in the European city of Londrid, faces a myriad of challenges including a fall in the Financial Times ranking and a need to increase total applications to ensure intake quality.
The program will provide you with a deep dive into three foundational modules: Context, Outreach, and Evaluation.
The Admissions Institute is a robust program essential for every new professional in recruitment, admissions and marketing – participants must have between six to 36 months of work experience within these different areas of graduate management education to be eligible to apply.
More information is available here.

Sharing Best Practice Sessions: Partnerships
B1 The Nova Case: Partnering with business
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.

Event Details
Content
The Seminar provides in-depth guidance on how to complete the different steps of the EPAS accreditation process successfully. Participants will gain detailed insights on how to compile a Self-Assessment Report, how to organise an effective Peer Review Visit and how to manage the post-accreditation phase including the write-up of progress reports. The objective of the Seminar is to move distinctly beyond the EPAS documents and to let participants gain first-hand insights into the Do’s and Don’ts when managing an EPAS accreditation project.
Target Group
The Seminar is targeted at institutions already awarded eligibility or accreditation. It is relevant for Accreditation Officers (EPAS Project Leaders), Deans and Associate Deans in charge of accreditations.
Prerequisites
Participants must already possess a good working knowledge of the EPAS system, which requires at the very minimum the careful study of the EPAS documents (Standards & Criteria, Process Manual, Process Manual Annexes) before arriving in Brussels. School representatives looking for an introductory overview of the EPAS system are explicitly discouraged from registering for this seminar.
Preregistration
Participants need to use the online pre-registration form if they wish to attend the seminar. Following receipt of participant details, the EPAS office will send an email informing whether the registration will be accepted.

Event Details
The EFMD Job Fair for PhDs in Business and Management is a 2-day event that brings together job-seeking PhD candidates in Management (all areas) and faculty and recruiters from European and international business schools and universities. For the first time this year, the Job Fair is hosted outside of Brussels.
Why?
This Fair is the first event of this kind in Europe, gathering PhDs from all areas in Management and recruiters from the most prestigious European and international schools.
During the 3 first editions, more than 100 schools from all over the world sent their representatives – recruiters and candidates – to take advantage of this opportunity. China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), Monash Business School, Audencia Business School and IE Business School, just to mention few of the recruiting schools, interviewed and recruited talented young researchers to complete their academic team.
What makes this Job Fair unique?
- 3 WEEKS before the event: the option for the recruiters to schedule on-site interviews with the candidates
- 2 DAYS to bring PhD candidates and recruiters from International business schools and universities together
- 15 MINUTES for PhD candidates to present their job market paper and get interviews
- RECRUITERS will hire to complete their academic body
This event is sponsored by:
How does it work?
In the morning, the candidates present their job market paper to recruiters in a 15-minute research presentation, followed by 5 minutes Q&A session. In the afternoon, the recruiters schedule on-site interviews with the candidates they are most interested in.

Event Details
Overview
The Strategic Leadership Programme 2019 provides an ideal platform for learning and sharing best practice and for establishing and fostering a powerful international network of deans and directors as a lasting resource for ideas, exchanges, joint actions and mutual support.
Please note that the programme will be limited to 20 participants.
Aim of the programme
The new Strategic Leadership Programme 2019 brings together new deans and directors of business schools with experienced leaders of leading business schools to discuss developing and implementing strategies in a combination of case studies/experience sharing, intensive discussions and workshops on problems faced by participants.
The focus of the program is on five interconnected, central themes that any dean and director faces in one or another form, and with priorities that may vary between business schools and over time. Hesburgh (1999: 59) noted:
“To be great, an academic institution needs a great faculty, a great student body, and great facilities. In order to have all these things, it needs substantial endowment, which means you have to learn how to raise money – lots of it. And finally, a great university needs to be imbued with a great spirit, which is an inspirational and cohesive kind of ambience, and not just a lot of separate parts that operate around a central heating plant.”
The five themes, with sub-themes that we aim to address, are:
- Managing faculty (e.g. recruitment, retention, remuneration, research support, etc)
- Students (e.g. selection, international students, curriculum, career services, etc)
- Providing facilities (e.g. campus location, class-room design, technology, etc)
- Managing revenue and costs, and raising funds (e.g. fee structure, government support, financial viability of programs, corporate links, etc)
- Creating and fostering identity and spirit (e.g. vision, mission, unique value proposition, reputation management, alumni network, advisory boards, rankings and accreditations, etc)
Deans and directors participating in the programme are expected to present practical strategic challenges – present or past – from their own institutions in innovative “What-could-I-do” sessions.
Target group
Newly appointed Deans or Director General of the entire institution with overall school management responsibility.
