    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?
    Audience for the inaugural Forum for Management Education Providers includes
    chief learning officers, public and private sector, corporate university
    representatives, independent executive education providers, visionaries and
    decision makers, non-profit organizations, Web and distance education
