Forum for Management Education Providers
June 2001 (rescheduled)
Location to be announced
The dynamics of rapid change, heightened global competition and advancing
technology mean that organizational success increasingly is dependent on
learning. Offered for the first time, the Forum for Management Education
Providers, "Collaborative Opportunities in Management Education" is
dedicated to bringing together leaders from a variety of executive
management education providers to discuss the evolving executive education
environment, and challenges presented by the complexity of the environment,
and to instigate new collaborative ventures. The conference is intended to
facilitate learning from one another for possible collaboration. Through the
Forum, management education representatives will help create shared
interpretations and understanding through diversified participation in the
process. Issues include:
What is driving the need for learning beyond traditional university-based
business schools?
What values must leaders promulgate to create the opportunity for deep,
substantive learning to occur?
How is knowledge created and disseminated?
What tools and technologies best support building and sustaining learning
communities?
Why is there difficulty seeing that which would clarify the central
components of new learning models within management education?
What infrastructures and collaborative alliance ventures most quickly
achieve learning objectives and create added value?

chief learning officers, public and private sector, corporate university
