Future MBA

100 ways, 100 days to reimagine the sustainable MBA

100天我发布了100种我们可以重新考虑并重新驯化MBA的100种方式,将其转化为创建我们组织和地球需求的可持续领导者的工具。

我ll explore all aspects of the MBA, ranging from curriculum and research to partnerships and campus activities. Some ideas could be put into practice tomorrow while others would require a complete rethinking of the way we view the MBA.

This brainstorming of ideas is meant to encourage discussion, so please share your thoughts and comments and elaborate on the ideas you find the most interesting.

第1天:现在和现在

大量的MBA教学时间侧重于教学生过去发生的事情。当教训使其进入教科书或被写入案例研究时,多年已经通过了。当然,当然,从过去的学习中学到的许多教训,学生和毕业生都需要能够处理现在正在发生的事情。商学院正在教育经理,以便未来的业务现实,我们知道很少或根本没有,而是学生需要能够回应和反应的人。

The Future MBA will have a class called Today. This short class takes place every morning before core courses start. The class looks at current events as they happen and explores what they mean for business, how business should/could respond, exploring potential opportunities and/or risks.

For example, an NGO releases a report which negatively affects Company X. In Today’s class, students will look at this report and explore how they think Company X should respond to this news and track what the company actually does over the upcoming days. In the upcoming week, a representative of Company X will be invited to class to discuss its approach.

该班级将是跨学科,将学生与不同学位课程的混合,并鼓励教师参加。房间将与坐在桌子周围的小组中的学生设置,每个学生都讨论相同或不同的主题。

Day 2: The lifelong MBA

The MBA is a moment in time. After graduation, alumni go through various subsequent phases in their career, phases where they once again could use the lessons and support that an MBA provides.

未来MBA将是三年至四年的计划,延期一生。它在你20多岁的某个时间开始,最常见的是在你有一些工作经验之后。学生将在校园里度过第一年或两个人,完成一系列类似于当前MBA的核心课程和选修课。

The remaining years would be used throughout the student’s lifetime. A special six-month course would be available for students who are considering retirement or have just retired to assist them in planning out their next steps. Another course would be available to parents thinking of going back to work either part or full time. Another section would be open to alumni thinking of starting a business or working independently as sole proprietors or independent consultants. Then, of course, there’d be a range of courses of interest to individuals at different points of their career — managers, CEOs, board members, as well as on specific topics of interest and relevance to the business world today. Not only would this provide a more structured lifelong learning experience but also the opportunity to connect and learn from individuals of all ages and at different stages of their life and career on campus and in the classroom.

Day 3: MBA pop up

MBA programs often operate within a bubble within a community but not often interacting or engaging with that community. How can business schools encourage that interaction in meaningful and innovative ways?

社区充满了空的零售空间。弹出零售运动邀请个人和品牌,众所周知和尚未被发现,简要使用这些空间来测试新的想法,销售产品并分享他们的信息。他们还将能源注入社区。

The Future MBA will have its own pop up business space, either in a building managed by the school or in a range of spaces in the community that the school would have access to. These spaces would be open to MBA-related pop ups, used from an hour to several days by faculty, staff, students and alumni to test out new ideas, give a short course, sell new products or share insights on topics of interest. Most important, it will give students and staff an opportunity to interact with their local community in a tangible way.

Day 4: Checking your progress

The main reason for pursuing the Future MBA will be for education and personal development, and as such students will want to have a better understanding of where they stand when they start the program and how they progress throughout it.

学生将获得一个工具,实时更新,使他们能够深入了解他们所做的良好以及他们需要开发更多的地方。在该计划的开始时,该工具被填充有与他们感兴趣的职业有关的信息,他们的优势和劣势,他们的裁判员和过去老板的意见。在一年中,教授和同学将提供投入。学生将使用该工具定期审查他们的进度,以帮助他们选择选修课和活动,以帮助加强他们在毕业后的弱势或可能需要其所需的毕业后工作的区域。该工具还会将学生与其他学生,教师甚至校友联系在一起,具有类似的优势或缺点,以与之合作和学习。

第5天:众包执行计划

企业在不断变化和调整,or even being created in order to take advantage of new opportunities, risks and technologies. How can business schools also take advantage and respond quickly to new opportunities as they arise with a range of innovative and flexible programs that serve the needs of the business community?

未来MBA的执行方案内容和主题将由高管,校友和业务合作伙伴众挤,并实时开发,以确保他们在出现时涵盖商业区的培训需求。将基于网络表达的兴趣开发新计划。这些同样的商业伙伴将实时参与设计过程,并鼓励提供反馈,因为该计划通过在线和人员的机会创建。一旦社区觉得课程准备就绪,课程将被安排,商界社会将签署他们的团队参加。

Day 6: Expanding admissions

对于大多数潜在的学生来说,MBA是计划需要几年的程度。潜在的学生经常花年考虑决定,做研究然后申请。有了这么多学校,学生如何找到完美的学校?

In the Future MBA, potential students will have access to an online platform similar to LinkedIn. Individuals in any stage of the application process, from just thinking about doing an MBA to waiting for their acceptance letters, can register. They can post their CV and other relevant information, which can be updated regularly. Students also can post a range of general essays applicable to any MBA application as well as a series of password-protected essays for specific schools.

The platform would have a section where potential students can advertise their status: “interested in MBAs”; “looking at different programs”; “writing the GMAT”; “in the process of applying”; “waiting for offers or making final decision.”

通过该系统,该学校不仅可以获得与申请人的简历有关的最新信息,但这些数据也可供世界各地的其他学校使用。如果学校找到申请人,他们完全适合他们的个人资料,他们可以发送申请邀请,甚至是公司提供的邀请。这样,学生可以获得优惠,也许来自学校的奖学金,这些学校可能拥有他们寻求但不知道存在的程序或机会。

此外,这个平台将允许在整个应用程序过程中彼此相互交互的不同阶段。

Day 7: For a day…

许多学生们都是职业变化。他们已经在特定领域或行业工作了几年,并正在制定MBA改变为不同的领域或追求不同的机会。通常这些都是他们以前从未工作过的公司或地区。

Students in the Future MBA can take part in a program called “For a Day” through career services. Students interested in working in a particular company or industry will be given the opportunity to spend one day in a company that interests them, rubbing shoulders with experts in that industry, alumni working in the company etc. to gain a bit of an understanding of what it is like to work in that industry and to confirm whether this would be of interest to them.
