Get Ready to Jam
The Jam has been recognized as an important contribution to thinking about the future evolution and innovation in management education. The initial report, Reimagining Business Education: A World of Ideas, was utilized globally by business schools to inform how they might advance their own institutions and innovation efforts. Subsequently, in 2016, the book Reimagining Business Education: Insights and Actions from the Business Education Jam explored more deeply the issues and ideas advanced by the Jam.
Since the Jam took place in late 2014, business education has only faced additional challenges – enrollment pressures are forcing program changes, alternative education platforms are gaining in reputation and participants, and skills required by employers are increasingly disconnected from traditional business education.
It’s time to spark the conversation.
A New Platform For Reimagining Business Education
Moving beyond the initial success of the Business Education Jam, a new platform has emerged to heighten the level of business school and industry engagement and close the skills gap. Business Education Jam 2.0 will bring together schools to directly engage with industry and public policy leaders in their distinctive regions of the world, advancing new ideas and insights, and subsequently bringing those ideas together in a global symposium.
Regional Forums
This new brainstorm includes a series of impactful forums which are led by partner schools from each major region of the world.
New edX Platform
Our new platform will allow anyone in the world to contribute, for free, through an associated edX EDGE massive open online course or engage in person at the local forum.
Global Symposium
The regional findings from these events will then come together at a global symposium to drive forward initiatives to enhance business education across the world.
