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
What motivates employees to work hard to serve the public interest? This talk presents the results of a recent book in which my colleague Dr. Christian Schuster and myself systematically review answers from public administration research to the classic debate on how to motivate employees. We locate this research in a novel two-dimensional typology which shows that employees can be motivated for other- and self-interested reasons; and extrinsic (motivated by outcomes) and intrinsic (motivated by work itself) reasons. Public administration research sheds significant light on extrinsic motivators: working hard to help society (public service motivation), one’s organization (organizational commitment) and oneself (financial incentives). Future research should focus on hitherto understudied motivators: symbolic rewards and intrinsic motivators, such as enjoyable work tasks, warm glow, and relatedness with colleagues
The webinar is free to all AHRMIO members
Non members are required to pay a fee of €200 to access the webinar. This is the yearly cost of AHRMIO individual membership.

Event Details
Programme objectives
The Summer School develops the leadership capability of senior managers in higher education involved in large transformation programmes by exposing them to different practices and examples from a range of organisations in different sectors.
Programme pillars
- Thematic Sessions on the changing trends in higher education and the need for different models of service delivery
- Practising strategy appraisal and formulation
- Exercising leadership skills around case and teamwork
Programme themes
The programme has five key components:
- Understanding contemporary approaches to the design and delivery of large-scale transformation programmes (strategic transformation programme design, organisational development and culture, change communication, stakeholder engagement)
- Learning from real-life experiences from higher education institutions that have embarked on a transformation journey
- Gaining insight from large transformation programmes from other sectors (e.g. health sector)
- Understanding the obstacles and drivers for change (organisational culture, digitalisation, governance models)
- Practising leadership, transnational management team building and intercultural competencies
Programme delivery
The five components are delivered through strategic conversations with highly experienced leaders and managers in higher education, practical casework and interactive team building sessions.
Throughout the week, participants will work with peers from other institutions on two large change programmes, appraising the strategy of two case institutions and re-thinking the provision and delivery of their professional services.
The deadline for applications has been extended to 15 June 2019.

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
Target Group
Programme Directors, Associate/Assistant Deans of Teaching & Learning, and Senior Program Managers with a complete overview of (though not necessarily direct responsibility for) the entire academic cycle: admissions, programme design & administration, career services, and alumni management.
For each stream intake, the Executive Academy also seeks to accept managers of corporate universities or executives of corporate talent management departments to cross-fertilize group learning. Corporate participants can improve their understanding of and their ability to interact with business schools.
Context
The Executive Academy journey starts with a preparatory phase, which includes self-study and a comprehensive 360° feedback exercise administered with the support of the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL).
The core of the Executive Academy is a face-to-face week in the selected region, with the maximum of 20 participants admitted to each stream.
Participants will:
- Advance through a self-discovery process to better understand their strengths and limitations, which will contribute to the bridging of self-knowledge and self-leadership.
- Learn how to drive a strategy-driven programme design and review process, how to manage different performance layers and how to interlink stakeholder expectations and satisfaction.
- Understand and implement disruptive strategies in business education and map performance metrics to actions and milestones.
The face-to-face week will be followed by a project phase at the participants’ home institutions with support and feedback provided by faculty facilitators and personal coaches.
A rigorous and challenging admission process ensures that peer-to-peer interaction in the Executive Academy will be meaningful and ability-enhancing for all participants.
Application process:
- Please download and fill in an application form (PDF).
- Your application will be reviewed by the EA Director.
- You will be interviewed during a 30-minute call with the Programme Stream Leader or EA Director.
- Upon completion of the steps above, the EA Director will submit the recommendation for your admission to a Steering Committee which approves each participant’s enrolment.
- Upon admission, we will ask you to formally register for the event via the link to the registration form we will send to you.
Pre-programme materials:
All readings, including CCL 360 Assessments, will be available 4 weeks prior to the start of the face-to-face week.

Self-Knowledge
This session facilitates self-knowledge through the interpretation of the KLIO-CS cognitive-style questionnaire. This test also allows participants to gain insight into their “brain- dominance”, which determines the way information is processed and related to others, as well as how decisions are made. This is a necessary basis for situational leadership and adapting one’s style and communication to different stakeholders.

This session includes half-hour coffee break
16:00 – 18:00
Self-Leadership – The Brain Balance
Participants focus on the skills of managing stress and harmonizing work, family and personal life. The “BrainBalance” is introduced as a model for taking care of one’s mental and physical energy and thereby increasing focus, efficiency and health. Participants diagnose their sources of stress and related responses while learning emotional regulation techniques for managing stress during peak periods.

Fostering Resilience in Program Provision: Navigating Between Bureacrats, Mavericks, Black Swans and Gray Rhinos
Teaching & learning executives need to balance a variety of objectives ranging from meeting revenue objectives, maintaining student satisfaction, infusing innovation into program design, and obtaining external recognition in accreditation and rankings. This session will elaborate how participants can meet these challenges in the face of disruptive influences (such as black swans and grey rhinos) and organisational resistance (from bureaucrats, mavericks, and other colleagues). Participants will study the concept of resilience as a handrail for dealing with these issues in a comprehensive manner.

Content
The Seminar provides in-depth guidance on how to complete the different steps of the EQUIS accreditation process successfully. Participants will gain detailed insights into 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 EQUIS documents and to let participants gain first-hand insights into the Do’s and Don’ts when managing an EQUIS accreditation project.
Target Group
The Seminar is targeted at institutions already awarded eligibility or accreditation. It is relevant for Accreditation Officers (EQUIS Project Leaders), Deans and Associate Deans in charge of accreditations.
Prerequisites
Participants must already possess a good working knowledge of the EQUIS system, which requires at the very minimum the careful study of the EQUIS documents (Standards & Criteria, Process Manual, Process Manual Annexes) before arriving in Brussels. School representatives looking for an introductory overview of the EQUIS system are explicitly discouraged from registering for this seminar.

Event Details
To win the digital challenge and meet its strategic goals, Santander Group has been implementing, since 2017, a new learning strategy to realise its S25 vision: transform Santander into an open financial services platform. A central building block of this global strategy is to put in place a Learning Experience Platform enabling Santander to up-skill and re-skill its employees to stay relevant in a fast changing business environment. The Learning Experience Platform, the name of which is DOJO, will transform the way the 200,000 Santander employees learn while being in the flow of work.
DOJO connects people and content across the geographies, in an intuitive and efficient manner, minimizing the learning time to value. It empowers employees to take ownership of their own learning in becoming knowledge activists in a collaborative environment. Employees will be able to create, share and leverage knowledge in one single digital workspace and Santander will know what Santander knows.
How does Dojo work in practice and what is its impact? This is what Elisabetta Galli, Global Head of Knowledge, Development & Talent at Santander Group will share with EFMD members during the workshop
Target Group
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).

Event Details
Overview
The focus of the Strategic Leadership Programme for Deans is to discuss 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.”
Please note that the programme will be limited to 20 participants.
Target group
Newly appointed Deans or Director General of the entire institution with overall school management responsibility.

The focus on wealth creation and efficiency has had consequences: democratic crises, surge of populism, death of expertise, accelerated inequality and deterioration of the planet. In the aftermath of this, how can business schools be catalysts of inclusive, sustainable growth, and help re-establish trust in critical institutions?
