Develop your leadership capabilities in core areas of business school strategy
UK business schools are working in a more competitive environment than ever before, with major disruptions in business models, funding, technology, and demands for life-long learning and innovation for growth.
That's why the Chartered ABS provides development opportunities to help you develop strategy, gain confidence, build strong networks and share best practice alongside like-minded individuals.
Whether your focus is on teaching, research, executive education, or the leadership of business schools, we have a range of courses aimed to support you professionally and personally to enhance your personal effectiveness and the reputation of your institution.
Our Development Programmes are co-designed with experienced leaders from the field. We will optimise your time to reflect on your business school's strategy through stimulating dialogue with peers and collaboration with expert facilitators to ensure you return to work confident and re-energised with practical action plans, useful tools, and invaluable contacts.
If you would like to discuss one of our development programmes with us, please get in touch at [email protected].
