EFMD Dean’s Circles present an opportunity to join a group of deans from the EFMD network to jointly explore strategic questions, concerns and dilemmas that they are facing. Dean’s Circles are designed and moderated to generate rich and diverse content that gives deans information and perspectives when they need it most.
Circle formation and journey
Each circle is comprised of five to seven current deans from diverse EFMD member schools and regions, as well as an expert moderator who has formerly held the role of dean.

The programme is designed for all Deans of EFMD member schools who have completed the EFMD Strategic Leadership Programme for Deans (SLPD). It may be most beneficial to deans in their first deanships or those who have taken on deanships in new environments.
Application process: All deans interested in joining an EFMD Dean’s Circle will be invited to join a conversation which will enable them to learn more about the programme and to be best matched to a diverse circle.
