It’s primary activities include conferences, research, benchmarking, sharing of best practices, staff development, recruitment/job postings, information-sharing, and extensive networking among members, all centered on the business and practice of business-school-based executive education. UNICON is a diverse organization, with representation from over 100 schools. In addition to size and geography, schools are diversified by the expertise, reputation and strength of their faculty, the types and size of their customers, and increasingly the breadth and depth of their executive education portfolios. The ability to represent many perspectives in executive education is a great strength of UNICON and a source of continued learning and vitality in the field. This diversity of views and interests also means that there is no single “UNICON perspective” on its commissioned research topics, including no single perspective on the future of business education – an area which this report ably addresses. The interpretations and perspectives expressed in this report are those of the researchers, professionals who are deeply familiar with the business education field and the needs and objectives of its stakeholders.

    ஽ Academy of Management Learning & Education, 2007, Vol. 6, No. 3, 375–387. ........................................................................................................................................................................ Creating Transformational Executive Education Programs MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES INSEAD KONSTANTIN KOROTOV ESMT—European School of Management and Technology This essay concerns the design of transformational executive programs. A transformational program presupposes a change in behavior of the attending executive so that the latter becomes more effective in personal or organizational change. To understand what influences the transformational process three triangular conceptual frameworks (building on the short-term dynamic psychotherapy tradition) are presented: the mental life triangle, the conflict triangle, and the relationships triangle. The first shows that cognitive and emotional processes need to be taken into consideration to create changes in behavior. The second describes the sources of thoughts and feelings that may prompt anxiety and cause defensive reactions prohibiting change and productive use of talents. The third relationships triangle explains how an individual’s previous experiences create patterns of response that are repeated throughout life and can become dysfunctional. Five major challenges in program design are also examined: selecting participants; identifying the focal issue on which participants need to work; the creation of a safe transitional space that enables the

    AVT Bakker Som Første, Og Eneste, Danske Business Skole Op Om Fnʼs Initiativ Til at Sikre Bæredygtig Ledelse

    AVT bakker som første, og eneste, danske business skole op om FNʼs initiativ til at sikre bæredygtig ledelse København, 21. april 2008. I juli 2007 opfordrede FNʼs generalsekretær, Ban Ki-moon, alle verdens business skoler om frivilligt at påtage sig seks principper for uddannelse af globalt ansvarlige ledere - de såkaldte PRME principper (The Principles for Responsible Management Education). AVT Institute of Executive Education blev den første danske business skole til at følge opfordringen. Og foreløbig også den eneste. AVT håber dog, at alle de andre business skoler i Danmark også vil tilslutte sig. “Vi var ikke et øjeblik i tvivl og besluttede os straks for, at AVT måtte være en aktiv deltager i FNʼs PRME. Det er oplagt at Danmark her skal spille en central rolle. Danske virksomheder er meget aktive i social ansvarlighed og selvfølgelig skal det være et tema i uddannelsen af fremtidige ledere på vores CBA og MBA programmer. Ansvarlighed og bæredygtighed er især væsentligt, når lederne skal tage stilling i globale sammenhæng, hvor lokal lov og ret ikke altid stemmer overens med, hvad vi herhjemme finder ansvarligt. Der er mange dilemmaer at tage stilling til i dagens globaliserede verden.” siger Per Junker Thiesgaard, administrerende direktør i AVT. AVT har besluttet at tematisere AVTʼs Executive MBA så et gennemgående tema er “Ansvarligt lederskab i en globaliserende verden” og der er allerede introduceret nye fag i forretningsetik, social ansvarlighed på AVTʼs Executive MBA, ligesom en studierejse til Shanghai skal give de studerende et førstehånds indblik i kinesisk virksomhedsledelse. “Vi er lidt overraskede over, at vi hidtil er den eneste danske business skole, der har valgt at påtage sig opgaven.

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Abstract Even as the demand for managerial skills continues to grow, executive education worldwide has entered a period of disruption caused by the digitalization of content, connectivity, and communication. The current offerings of many executive education program-providers fall short of creating new skills in executives and developing fresh capabilities for organizations. Based on a study of all the programs offered by the business schools, consultancies, corporate universities, and online education-providers, we analyze the advantages, and the constraints, of the existing programs. We also map the vehicles for skill development – such as case discussions, lectures, simulations, coaching sessions, live projects, et al -- in terms of their potential to develop executives for the future. We then examine the impact of the forces of digital disruption – the disaggregation and disintermediation of activity chains, and the decoupling of the sources of value in education programs – on the future of executive education.

    THE IMPACT of EXECUTIVE EDUCATION a Review of Current Practice & Trends

    THE IMPACT OF EXECUTIVE EDUCATION A review of current practice & trends December, 2017 Research partner: The Impact of Executive Education Page 1 FOREWORD The role and purpose of executive education within business schools, whilst similar to that of the rest of a school’s activity, is also different. Generally speaking individuals and organisations spend money not to achieve academic awards (although sometimes this is very important, too) but rather see their careers and organisations transformed in some way. This can be seen starkly in this report in the data that shows an increased volume of activity in custom programmes. Executive education can sometimes sit in tension with other parts of a school’s operation, accreditation and academic research – yet, in a world where impact is increasingly important, executive education cannot be ignored. This report has sought to understand the impact that business schools have through their executive education activity. At a time when the world is changing, it is important to step back and understand this activity. Business Dr Andrew White schools are no longer competing with just themselves – there are many Associate Dean for Executive private sector organisations moving into this marketplace. Digital learning Education and Corporate is also providing opportunities as it challenges some of the means by which Relations, Saïd Business people learn. The REF is also asking schools to place more emphasis on School, University of Oxford impact – and this type of work is, and could further be, used for this activity. and Chair, Chartered Schools also have a challenge ensuring that the topics their faculty focus on ABS Executive Education are aligned with the learning needs of the participants and organisations Committee who work with them.
