Business schools are ideally placed to be the nexus between government, business and civil society in shaping a collective response to our most critical challenges.
2020 will be known as the year of realization. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled us to acknowledge a global need for communication and cooperation as existing inequalities present multiple challenges. Business, civil society, government and academia have a role to play during this crisis and in collectively shaping the world that will emerge from it. In order to create a space to tackle some of the critical challenges we face, GBSN is excited to host our second GBSN Beyond: Virtual Conference Reimagined. Business, academia, government and civil society each have a role in developing talent needed for today’s society. To build better societies and communities, we must collectively build trust, understand the role of each stakeholder and embrace the notion of adaptability. At GBSN Beyond, we hope to collectively explore multi-sector collaboration in developing actionable solutions.
GBSN Beyond features three parallel track experiences during the month of October leading up to a condensed and impactful 3-day virtual conference, November 15-17. These tracks engage Learners, Educators, and Leaders in the weeks leading up to November 15th. The culminating event will focus on four themes: humanitarian logistics, climate change, healthcare, and human rights.
With an innovative approach to what a virtual conference can be, we invite you to join us as GBSN Beyond utilizes a versatile event platform filled with a variety of engaging activities, distinctive content and unique opportunities to connect with a diverse international audience. GBSN Beyond will bring together members of business, academia, government and civil society to capture new insights on some of the complex problems our societies are facing. The goal is to translate current experiences into lessons for sustainable development.
“According to BCG research, 81% of respondents believe that better aligning educational curricula with job openings and skills gaps could resolve the skills mismatch their businesses face.”
As the global pandemic accelerates the shift to remote work environments, the skills mismatch is increasing quickly. What is clear is a strong need for closer collaboration between higher-education institutions, employers and governments.
GBSN’s vision reinforces the central role of business schools to our mission. Our efforts to connect them to business, government, and non-profit organizations is viewed as a critical enabler, one that accelerates innovation, augments capabilities, and amplifies impact. Business and industry, in turn, should support this collaboration by investing in their people and working with higher-ed institutions to offer upskilling and reskilling opportunities along a lifelong learning path. COVID-19 has accelerated the need for action.
A vibrant hub of exchange, learning, collaboration and discussion.
