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

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.

Event Details
In a highly competitive global market, being able to integrate the right skills may cause the success or failure of a company. Corporates urge to efficiently measure the impact of their workforce’s skills set and constantly update it with new skills and resources according to the company’s innovation plans. Unfortunately, the low entry barriers of the internet make it easy for anyone to pretend to be whatever they like to be or whatever the market requires. Moreover, easily forgeable badges or certificates, make it even more difficult than ever to distinguish trustworthy credentials from fakes.
TiiQu technologies use transparency and immutability of blockchains to enable certification and verification of credentials about identity, work, education and experience. TiiQu envisions a world where hiring decision-making is objective and fair (TiiQu Code of Ethics) and in which companies and teaching organizations contribute to, and benefit from, issuance of certified proofs of education and work experience that are instantly verifiable. TiiQu wants to contribute to a world where reputation is an asset managed by accountable individuals who control their own data and collect such proofs in a shareable digital professional passport.
TIIQU FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Higher education is under pressure to enhance the employability of graduates by ensuring that they acquire competencies that make them employable in the labour market. The future of business schools is tied up with their future legitimacy. Without it they will have a declining influence on the next generation of business leaders.
TiiQu will enable higher education providers to issue certificates that cannot be faked, significantly decrease processes, exponentially reduce costs associated with data protection, and cancel forever the need for credentials validation. In addition, as universities need to constantly scout best candidates, TiiQu will allow them to benefit from a transparent ecosystem where identity, educational and professional background can be verified by a single click.
As the greatest strength of business education is its ability to form a class of people with highly demanded transversal soft skills which have been so far very difficult to be objectively quantified, TiiQu will collaborate with Business Schools to release irrefutable instantly verifiable micro-credentials of soft skills earned as part of their courses. The result of which will be higher employability for students, demonstrable impact of business schools and decreased costs of recruiting for companies.

Event Details
| Achieving excellence by interlinking the quality, internationalisation and impact agendas The workshop will help participants to think strategically about the positioning of degree programmes in their home institutions. They will explore what the key drivers of quality are and how a developmental focus on the international perspective and (business and societal) impact can help to achieve (international) market recognition. The Learning journey Day 1 will cover the fundamentals of managing degree programmes including how to establish an effective system of intended learning outcomes that is effective in shaping student learning, as well as a sufficiently detailed system of quality assurance with robust programme review processes. Participants will also explore how to best coordinate organizational units involved in the delivery of the degree. At the end of the first day, the main theme of the second day will be launched – how transversal programme features can help shape the competitive positioning of degree programmes. Day 2 will focus on three transversal pillars that also play a central role in EQUIS and EPAS accreditations: internationalisation; corporate relevance & engagement (business impact); and ethics, responsibility & sustainability (societal impact). Participants will explore how to convert developmental ambitions into concrete action plans and what performance metrics can be used to guide these efforts. The day will close with the review of a best practice example, a business school that moved from a teaching-focused school to the premier ranks of triple-accredited institutions. Day 3 will serve two purposes. Most importantly, participants will be asked to relate the workshop discussions to their personal professional achievements and will start building an action plan for improving the positioning of degree programmes in their institutions. The final session of the workshop will link the discussions up to that point to the EFMD accreditation frameworks, EQUIS and EPAS, and seek to answer the provocative question whether these frameworks provide minimum thresholds, general guideposts, development destinations or a compass for developmental wayfinding. Technology will be reshaping the delivery of degree programmes rather fundamentally in the future. This aspect is therefore covered transversally in all workshop sessions. Learning objectives

Quality of Degree Provision – The Transversal Design Perspective
This session will highlight why the transversal design features “internationalization”, “corporate relevance and impact” and “societal impact” play a central role in the competitive positioning of degree programmes; participants will learn how the cooperation of faculty, programme management and the quality assurance department can and should be effected to credibly establish these transversal features.

Transversal Pillar 1: Internationalisation
Participants will learn what it takes to internationalise degree programmes and why enhancing passport and experience diversity in the classroom or facilitating student mobility is by far not enough. With concrete examples, this session will explore how the students’ intercultural awareness can be sharpened and eventually embedded in their professional DNA. It will be further discussed what linkages are necessary between school strategy, faculty profile and the School’s programme offer to truly create an international learning experience.

Transversal Pillar 2: Societal Impact
The session will explore the increasing importance of business schools serving as “good citizens” in their wider communities; intellectual, organisational and economic contributions in the areas of Ethics, Responsibility & Sustainability (ERS) can help to address emergent societal challenges, which is nowadays also recognized within international quality assurance frameworks; participants will explore how the ERS agenda can be a core driver of institutional change and a key input into degree programme updating.

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.
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.
- 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 360 Assessments, will be available 4 weeks prior to the start of the face-to-face week.

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.

Event Details
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.
The Santander experience will be enriched by Faurecia, Sberbank and Siemens practices to enhance the culture of learning and collaboration in small work groups.
An interactive session about the impact of Blockchain on learning and development will be facilitated by Kevin Gill (GBS Blockchain CTO) and James Cook (Executive Partner – Strategy & Innovation in Talent and Transformation) from IBM.
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).

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 ring of reciprocity
The Reciprocity Ring is an exercise that has been developed to demonstrate powerful network effects; specifically, how you can achieve success by building positive social capital. It was developed by the Humax corporation and it is used worldwide to aid organisations in building values of generalised reciprocity. In practice, this lowers the barriers for both asking for help and giving help across teams and cultural boundaries. Equally, it generates positive emotions and energy by building high quality connections at work. It creates a platform for knowledge sharing.

Event Details
Going Online: A Strategic Compass represents an intensive 1.5-day course designed to provide participants with comprehensive strategic overview of the value chain in designing online teaching & learning experience. The programme is divided into five parts; the first four parts consist of delivered material which is concluded with an informal wrap-up discussion where participants are invited to reflect on the material in their own context and interact with others. The initial three sessions define the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ in delivering online education, the fourth session draws together this subject matter in how an institute may craft effective delivery in reality. The final part of the course features a group assignment that encourages individuals to apply what they learned while creating a case for online delivery specific to their institution.
Learning outcomes
Different approaches will be combined to enable participants to build a comprehensive roadmap towards online & blended learning encompassing strategic, financial, pedagogical and operational perspectives. Emphasis will be equally placed on critical understanding of both the external environment and the internal conditions which formulate the layout of this roadmap. Ultimately, the participants will gain a sound methodology to start crafting an online strategy in line with their institutional objectives.
By the end of this strategic course, the participants will be able to:
In terms of knowledge:
- Distinguish and compare different models of online & blended courses, drawing on practical experience.
- Analyse key trends, both short and long-term, which shape the environment of online teaching, and represent both opportunities and challenges.
- Identify key challenges in online & blended teaching and its potential solutions.
- Classify relevant online learning tools and attribute them to different teaching models.
- Enunciate the advantages of online education to support and enrich student learning experience.
- Indicate how to use essential learning analytics to get real-time insight into learners’ performance and behaviour.
In terms of skills:
- Design a blended or an online course using acquired knowledge on learning-design principles of different teaching models.
- Apply different pedagogical methods and employ available tools to support online learners.
- Select appropriate tools with respect to learning objectives of particular model.
- Gather the knowledge and critical analysis skills to craft an online learning strategy inspired by international best practices and adapted to the institution’s objectives taking into account resources and competences.
Target group
- Faculty and early-career researchers with either no or basic experience in online and blended learning & teaching interested in acquiring and enhancing their knowledge.
- Teaching & Learning Executives and Learning Designers overseeing a business school’s transition to online teaching space.

Stepping into the Online Learning Space
The first session will introduce participants to the broader online learning environment. It will give an overview of the terms and vocabulary used within online education, making distinctions and comparisons between different approaches, models and methodologies.
This session will also effectively define the online learning space by establishing a map of the wider landscape. The remaining sessions will enable us to navigate through this, highlighting the different directions in which institutions can travel in their journey towards online education delivery.
10:30 – 11:00
Coffee break
11:00 – 13:00
Course Planning and Design: Creating Constructive Alignment Throughout the Value Chain
The second session focuses on how an institution can begin to align components of an online teaching system to coordinate intended learning outcomes, teaching methods and assessment to satisfy different digital strategies. Drawing on Bigg’s Model of Constructive Alignment, the session explores how various learning design principles can be employed to achieve organisational objectives in online learning.
Operational factors associated with best practices and current trends in e-Learning design are addressed such as informal learning, personalised learning, simulations, VR and AI. The session will define a number of directions in which an institution may set their path through the online learning space.
13:00 – 14:00
Lunch
14:00 – 16:00
Technology and Tools Available
The next-to-last session is dedicated to the selection of tools available for course design, student interaction and engagement. Relating back to the previous sessions, it will examine how an institution can optimise innovative tools on offer from the EdTech industry to practically design and plan courses for an online learning space.
Also, the session will delve into the options and opportunities that different Learning Management Systems can offer an institution in delivering digital education.
16:00 – 16:30
Coffee break
16:30 – 18:00
Effective Delivery: Online Facilitation Leading to an Optimal Learning Experience
The final session of the day will converge to how the online experience is delivered. With all links of the value chain identified and considered from an institutional point of view the focus will shift to how this translates to creating a quality learner experience. Managing learner expectations, quality assurance processes and the role of student feedback in delivery will be addressed. How an institution can embark upon a student centric approach, achieving student engagement and facilitating an environment for social and peer learning, and community building will also be covered.

Event Details
Over 3.5 billion people worldwide are active social media users. This includes so many of your alumni – and yet do you feel that they are not actively engaging with your school and your alumni community online? From their early days as a novel set of social platforms to experiment with in your alumni communications strategy, social media has now become potentially your most effective channel to build engagement.
Recent alumni research found that the level of engagement felt by both alumni and donors is closely linked to their social media engagement with their educational institution. (GG+A Survey Lab 2019). The study found that the more frequently people engage with a School’s social media, the greater the level of connection. Higher levels of connection are correlated with higher levels of support and giving to the institution. So how do you create and sustain a dynamic presence on social media to appeal to and engage your alumni?
Join fellow alumni practitioners to deepen your understanding and gain new insights into:
- Best practices in alumni social media
- Creating meaningful content to appeal to alumni
- Managing social communications with limited resources
- Involving staff, faculty and key alumni as your key communicators
- Supporting volunteers and groups through social platforms
- Social media, trust and your School’s brand
- Tracking and measuring progress

This seminar will benefit anyone involved in any aspect of alumni relations.

Social Media: A Strategic Approach to Building Alumni Engagement Online
How engaged are your alumni on your social platforms? How mature is your School’s approach to social media as a primary communications channel?
Sarah will share research into alumni social media and engagement, review examples of global good practice (and not so good practice!) across key social media platforms and look at useful planning frameworks you can adopt to guide and enhance your business school’s communication activities.

How can you move beyond broadcasting content to facilitating conversation and increasing participation in your social media groups?

Panel Discussion: A Different Approach to Alumni Communication : Everyone at your Schools is an Alumni Communications Manager
Social media has dramatically changed the way we communicate across networks – and so has changed the way we manage alumni communications within our business schools. The traditional approach of one or two designated staff in the Alumni or Marketing team being responsible for carefully writing content to broadcast to alumni through email or print publications, carefully ‘managing the message’, doesn’t work in a social environment. These days, staff and faculty across your campus, and alumni influencers within your community, have an equally important role in helping you communicate effectively –so how do you adapt your planning and operations to enable this effectively?

Event Details
This conference is tailored to fit the expectations of directors and administrators of MSc and MA programmes from all over the world. The event is a unique occasion for networking, sharing and debating issues and opportunities present in Masters programmes.
When entering a Master programme, the diversity of students’ backgrounds is wide due to their working experience and individual motivations. Keeping in mind the complexity of managing Masters programmes, we base the sessions around topics such as global trends and new markets for Masters programmes while staying relevant to all attendees.
The 2019 Conference will focus on various aspects and elements leading to success under the title “Success Revisited”
Please note: this conference will not deal with MBA programmes as EFMD organizes a yearly event dedicated exclusively to MBA programmes.

Event Details
Quality assurance managers are instrumental for business school development. They act as organisational integrators, enforce the institutional quality improvement agenda, often host and manage performance data, and communicate with external stakeholders. The QAA focuses on the first three items, the supplementary workshop acts as an enabler for the latter.
The Quality Assurance Academy
The main focus of The Quality Assurance Academy is to offer a comprehensive ‘quality assurance curriculum’ and highly experience-focused training to professionals engaged in achieving and/or sustaining quality assurance processes. Attention is set on the quality assurance competencies, skills (technical and professional) and leadership attributes necessary to manage quality in its multiple dimensions across a wide range of activities within a business school.
Participants will learn:
- how they can become more effective leaders of their school’s quality assurance activities (even if only endowed with limited authority);
- how to align quality assurance with the business school’s strategic development trajectory;
- how quality assurance work can be supported with smart data management and how data analytics can make quality assurance more effective (and what its limitations are);
- how to manage (multiple) quality assurance projects in parallel involving external validation and review;
- how to establish and manage an assurance of learning system and how to organize effective reviews of educational offerings;
- how quality assurance focused on degree provision can be complemented with activities targeting research, stakeholder engagement and internationalization.
Programme format outline
1. Preparatory phase (approx. 20 hours)
Each participant will be assigned an experienced mentor at the beginning of the course who will support and enhance the learning experience with dedicated and repeated interventions. The preparatory phase involves:
- Guided study of international quality assurance and enhancement frameworks.
- Formalization of participant’s own quality assurance and enhancement journey.
- Multiple interactions with the assigned mentor via Zoom/Skype to discover learning interests and development needs.
2. Face to face workshop (approx. 24 hours over 2,5 days)
3. Capstone activity (approx. 20 hours)
The third phase will enable participants to convert workshop learning outcomes into tangible improvements in their professional work:
- Design and launch of tangible improvement project at participant’s home institution with multiple interventions by mentor and workshop facilitators.
- Structured reflections with peers of the same cohort moderated by one of the course’s mentors.
The Quality Assurance Academy is complementary to the accreditation seminars delivered by EFMD’s Quality Services Department. It seeks to develop the competencies needed for advancing a school’s quality agenda rather than support a specific quality enhancement project or cover a specific quality assurance framework.
Supplementary Report Writing Workshop*
F. Scott Fitzgerald said that “You don’t write because you want to say something…you write because you have something to say”. Unfortunately, in our business school world, there is a dearth of people with report writing skills who can capture and convey ideas and decisions that schools’ make in a powerful way. This workshop fosters those report writing competencies so that delegates know how to convey their school’s strategic positions in the text of SARs and other strategic documents so as to convince stakeholders.
The purpose of this one-day supplementary workshop is to help delegates develop persuasive writing skills, geared to the producing School Self-Assessment Reviews (SARs) for accreditation processes. Our objective is to help delegates understand what is needed, learn from good examples, share experiences, and begin the process of learning to write effective SARs that persuade. At the workshop, you will share experiences of your different journeys to date, discuss the role of the written SAR in preparing for the PRT visit, and construct personal development plans for follow-on 1:1 discussion with the Facilitator.
The workshop blends together theoretical ideas and practical inputs to identify what works well in practice. It recognises the theoretical role that writing accreditation documents like Self-Assessment Reviews (SARs) play in structuring relationships (e.g. staff, universities, accrediting bodies), conveying the ‘meta-discourse’ of a school in a strong way, marking and signposting a school’s attitudes towards key imperatives, building relationships with the reader, conveying the ‘stance’ of a school and how it intends to exert itself, and constructing a ‘voice’ that gives a report attitude, presence, and purpose. The indicative content of the Workshop is given below, and a final version will be circulated in due course.
*Supplementary Report Writing Workshop is intended exclusively for participants of the Quality Assurance Academy, kindly note that attending the workshop only is not possible.
Target group
The seminar will be of value to professionals, administration officers and faculty members responsible for, or engaged in quality assurance. This includes individuals in charge of achieving and sustaining external quality recognition, or those ready to assume such responsibility; those who see themselves as programme management accelerators; prospective or new quality assurance managers and professionals. People who would like to excel their career in quality assurance, and all other staff members wishing to strengthen their ‘quality assurance competencies’ are welcomed to apply.
