GLOBAL MINI-JAM
Following the AAPBS
May 2019 business education mini-jam in Japan, a global jam was held in Boston
University on 11-12 November 2019 sponsored by AACSB and EFMD: http://questromworld.bu.edu/businesseducationjam/ Participants from jams held on all continents with business
schools were represented in Boston. Discussions focused on heterogeneity,
developing communities of practice (tribes) that reflect local values,
challenge-based, ethical, experiential and collaborative learning, and learning
from failure. We reflected on the need for business schools to be more
inclusive in terms of stakeholders and the curriculum and to work with unusual
suspects in shaping our societal value proposition. As a result of the
mini-jams, regional networks have been established, for example in Latin
America. A key output from the Boston University global jam at Questrom School
of Business will be another major project on the future of business and
management education.
THE QUALITY ENHANCEMENT SESSION DURING THE AAPBS ANNUAL
MEETING 2019 BY EILEEN PEACOCK In November 2019 at the AAPBS Annual meeting
AAPBS inititated a new activity. The
activity was designed is initiating a new activity to assist in identifying
quality improvement ideas through developing thought partnership conversations
with business school members. Eileen Peacock offered to meet with schools
at a pre-appointed time to collaboratively address problems/issues raised by
schools individually, and using collective wisdom through consultation to
address possible pathways and solutions. A full afternoon, at a time when
conferences sessions were not in play, was set aside for the meetings. The idea
evolved from the concept of thought partnership:
Thought partnership is the practice of
sharing ideas and experience with others to help them navigate complex
challenges. This sounds a lotlike advice or mentorship, but the key
difference is that thought partnership is always mutually beneficial ..thought
partnership is almost always about problem solving or exploring something of
mutual interest https://www.causeit.org/being-a-thought-partner
The response to a call of interest for this
activity was significant and the afternoon was filled. Schools at different levels of maturity,
status, size signed up to have a conversation. Issues discussed ranged from
assistance with discussions of faculty qualifications and achievements, what to
do to be really ready to discuss quality assurance issues with peers, and how
schools can find a pathway, or pathways to excellence through improving
processes.
All the conversations were very interactive and
Indeed all partners in the conversations gained from the event. A good time was
had by all!
