• 9:00 Moving from Change Acceptance to Effectual Transformation9:00 - 10:30There is broad consensus that business schools need to become more impactful, technology-embracing, network focused, etc. The bridging from change acceptance to institutional transformation has however proven challenging for many business school leaders.

Based on concrete examples from the business school community and other industries, this session will explore how this approach can help schools benefit from change and move them out of the first-mover disadvantage trap.
