Hello!

Hello and welcome to the fifth CarringtonCrisp newsletter. In this edition, Ian Hawkings explores the potential for online games to help business schools engage with an increasingly remote student body. Are schools making the most of gaming? Or are Edtech firms stealing a march?

We also look at the challenges faced by professional staff at the world's business schools, having recently presented research findings at the recent EFMD External Relations conference.

On top of all this, Dan LeClair contributes his thoughts on positive impact, Andrew Crisp invites you to help shape CarringtonCrisp's next study on Executive and Lifelong Learning, and The Executive MBA Council offers you the chance to attend their upcoming conference.

In a special guest post, Dan LeClair, CEO of GBSN the Global Business School Network, lays out his vision for what business schools can do to create a more positive impact for society.

At home, a part of my shelves is filled with books about business education. While browsing the section in recent months, I noticed something that never occurred to me before. All but a small handful of the books are about what’s wrong with business schools....

One giant leap for business schools

Historically, for most students business education has meant an undergraduate degree and perhaps a professional qualification in accountancy or similar.

For some, there has been progression to a Masters degree and maybe an MBA, with a few moving on to DBAs or to PhDs for academic careers.

Small numbers have also had opportunities to take executive programmes, but the focus of many business schools has largely been on their undergraduate and Masters students. All this is about to change

Discover the Executive MBA Council conference for just $300 per school

We're delighted to have been invited to speak at the Executive MBA Council Annual Conference later this month where Andrew will be leading a plenary about The Future of Work and Learning.

The Executive MBA Council have developed an attractive delegate proposition with schools able to register to take part for just $300 which then allows as many members of staff from that school to join as they wish at no extra charge.

The agenda has been put together in a largely time-zone friendly format with some sessions also repeated to accommodate participants wherever you are in the world.
