Call for Session Proposals
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.
GBSN Beyond is about breaking the traditional boundaries of business education. It highlights and supports business school efforts to transform society—to build more inclusive and sustainable communities, especially in the developing world.
We always put people first, enabling and empowering them to create, build, and sustain organizations to solve problems of people and planet. But we can’t ignore the growing power of technology to help people to create a better world, through business and education, and specifically to transform important sectors, such as health, agriculture, energy, and more.
Similarly, we cannot ignore the challenges that technology brings and the tensions it can create between what’s good for people and the environment. There are new and important questions about human rights, privacy, and equality. And there are tensions between the Global North and the Global South, as well as the East and West, that have important implications for how we think about the future of business and business education.
This year’s GBSN Beyond theme is about opportunities and challenges at the intersection of talent and technology. We recognize advances are more often generated through collaboration across borders, sectors, and disciplines. So, we encourage proposals that are international, multi-sectoral, and interdisciplinary. And, GBSN Beyond is about action and impact, so we are looking for proposals that take learners and scholars into the field and put them to work in our communities.

Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character.
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a major port city in the Dutch province of South Holland. The Maritime Museum’s vintage ships and exhibits trace the city’s seafaring history. The 17th-century Delfshaven neighborhood is home to canalside shopping and Pilgrim Fathers Church, where pilgrims worshiped before sailing to America. After being almost completely reconstructed following WWII, the city is now known for bold, modern architecture.

The Social Logistics Challenge
Student Team registration for the 2024 Social Logistics Challenge will open in August.
Quick Links
Contact
Daniella Hafner, Programs Assistant
GBSN welcomes learners from various fields to form teams and engage in an international virtual contest centered on devising solutions for social logistics issues. Upon finishing the competition, participants have the opportunity to earn an international micro-credential.
The Social Logistics Challenge is designed to immerse learners in a digital environment that promotes team-work, encourages collaboration, and stimulates innovation in addressing societal problems using logistics principles and technology. This year’s contest theme revolves around People, Technology, and Logistics.
Background
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, GBSN transitioned to the online GBSN Beyond Virtual Conference. Collaborating with the HUMLOG Institute at the Hanken School of Economics, GBSN introduced the HUMLOG Challenge – a virtual team contest focusing on practical solutions. The task given to students was to pinpoint a systematic supply chain problem in their local community and propose an innovative solution to mitigate medical and/or food supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.
In 2021, GBSN and the HUMLOG Institute once again presented the HUMLOG Challenge, this time focusing on community disaster resilience. Students were tasked to select a natural disaster relevant to their geographical location and address their community’s preparedness response and resilience levels.
Both 2020 and 2021 highlighted the potential of business students to devise captivating and inventive solutions concerning humanitarian logistics. The 2022 challenge reminded students about the essence of logistics: coordinating various activities into a unified movement of goods, services, and people. This challenge integrated this core logistics philosophy into the innovative study of social logistics, introducing a human aspect to the systems and applying logistics principles and methods to solve societal issues. This year, students are to explore the intersection of people and technology within their problem statements and/or solutions.
The transition from the HUMLOG Challenge to the Social Logistics Challenge signifies the competition’s evolution. Social Logistics presents both an unexplored territory and a unique chance for business students to collaborate with peers from different fields, integrating their expertise to create business solutions emphasizing social responsibility and awareness. The 2023 Social Logistics Challenge introduces a human factor into logistics’ systems and applies logistic principles and methods to tackle societal issues.
GBSN aims to utilize the strengths of Social Logistics, including conventional supply chain knowledge, humanitarian logistics, communication, programming, and technology. The Social Logistics Challenge will persist as a team-based virtual contest promoting interdisciplinary and multi-university cooperation.

2023 Top 5 Team
2023 Winning Teams Announcement
Recorded on Monday, November 13th 2023.
How does it work?
Register your team.
We encourage multi-disciplinary teams of 2-5 students from different schools, disciplines, and levels. Schools are welcome to have more than one team. GBSN will not accept individual registrations. Teams must be made of students who are currently enrolled in an institution.
Identify a local problem.
Use your logistical knowledge and training to improve a societal access problem. Be sure to identify the community of this problem, the multiple stakeholders involved, and most importantly, how this solution supports one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Develop your solution.
Develop a unique and implementable solution that can be used in a locally-relevant context. Demonstrate that solution in a creative format. This year, we are encouraging highlights of technology disruptions or solutions.
The Challenge.
Identify and define a social logistics problem in a community and propose an actionable business solution to address the problem. Social logistics involves applying logistics principles and methods to solve societal issues by considering human factors. The proposed solution should be relevant to the local community, outline the involved stakeholders, and demonstrate its alignment with one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, for the year 2023, teams are encouraged to identify any technological disruptions within the problem and/or illustrate the role of technology in their solution.
Deliverables
Each team will prepare a Solutions Package that will incorporate both written and visual elements. Teams will submit a written report and a visual creative illustration.
Judging Criteria
Each solutions package should illustrate and consider the following:
- The solution must solve a problem related to access
- The solution must clearly demonstrate components of logistics principles, including, but not limited, to supply chain management
- The solution must benefit society whether on a local or global scale
- The solution must be locally relevant and multidisciplinary
- The solution must clearly incorporate one or more of the 17 SDGs
- The problem and/or solution must integrate a human aspect and digital element
Judging Process
Judging for this competition will happen in two phases. Phase 1 involves preliminary judging, that ultimately determines the Top Five teams to advance to the Finals Round. The Finals Round involves LIVE presentations to a panel of judges, that ultimately determines the 1st Place Winner.
Preliminary judges will review all submitted deliverables to ultimately determine the following:
- How well your team describes the problem and its local relevance
- Whether or not your team demonstrates creativity
- Whether or not the solution your team develops is feasible
- How your solution addresses one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- How does your solution address the intersection between people and technology?

- All team members must participate in the LIVE pitch for the team to be eligible to win the prize. Participation is defined as a minimum of 1 minute of speaking during the presentation.
- Teams can include supplemental materials to support their LIVE presentations in the finals round, including their creative illustration.
A 15-minute Q&A with the judges.
- All team members must be present for the LIVE pitch presentation and virtual Q&A
- Judge and team participation will be moderated by a GBSN staff member to keep time and ensure equal distribution of participation between judges and teams
- The LIVE Pitch Presentations and Q&A portion will be recorded and broadcasted LIVE for the public to watch
Examples of Qualifying Solutions
The following are a few examples of previous qualifying social logistics solutions. Please make sure to integrate technology for this year. You can email the GBSN team if you would like us to check your problem/solution!
Example 1
As GBSN has learned from working with CIPE in Papua New Guinea, starting a business is challenging due to economic climate, government regulations, and local support. A student team from PNG could develop a solution surrounding logistically establishing a business incubation site in their local community.
Example 2
Ethiopia is a large producer of honey wine, known as Tej, however, local sellers are having difficulty storing and selling large quantities to wholesalers, especially in the current war-torn environment. Student teams could collaborate to configure a plan for mass production of Tej to assist their local economies, while keeping the businesses safe.
Example 3
Crane and Company has been providing paper for the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing since the late 17th century. As the digital age becomes more apparent and less businesses take cash, there are several problems that can arise. Several emerging economies, especially in the Caribbean and Latin America still rely on the US dollar for forms of payment. How can students find a solution to help the printers, distributors, and users of cash?
Example 4
Even in very economically developed countries, such as Australia, people become equal in the wake of climate change. Floods, droughts, and wildfires are among the largest forces to affect Australia’s natural habitat. How can students develop a safety preparedness logistics solution to protect the natural environment in the event of these wild occurrences and keep people safe?
Example 5
In the United States, school and mass shootings have unfortunately become widely prevalent. California has set itself apart with more shootings than any other state. A logistical solution could explore the supply chain of guns in specific cities within the state, including a look into which stores are selling weapons, and how they are abiding by the law.
Example 6
As we all know, the invasion of Ukraine has affected nations across the globe, especially in neighboring European countries. As countries, such as Germany, are sanctioning Russian oil, there is a massive effect on transportation within the country. German students could look into alternative transportation logistics or even gas/oil supply chains within their communities that do not support the war.
Example 7
Education in several countries in Africa is a challenging feat, but especially in territories affected by militias and war, such as in Northeastern Nigeria, affected by Boko Haram. How can students come together to develop a solution that helps children in these areas achieve education safely?
Example 8
In the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, refugees depend on food assistance, usually in the form of vouchers. Oftentimes, these are not always the most nutritious foods, rather they are inexpensive and easy to ship. What solutions can be developed by teams to provide nutritionally sustainable foods to these camps?

Guides
- ARD-C Toolkit
- The ARC-D toolkit is used to determine the level of a community’s disaster resilience, in two parts:
- Part A assesses the general context of the community, capturing local population data, governance structures, built environment and ecosystem attributes, vulnerable groups, and major risk scenarios.
- Part B assesses the community’s disaster resilience level to a chosen risk scenario through a consensus-based focus group discussion, guided by 30 key questions, each linked to a particular resilience component.
- The ARC-D toolkit is used to determine the level of a community’s disaster resilience, in two parts:
- Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030
- The Framework was adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015 and aims to achieve the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries over the next 15 years.

Existing inequalities have been exposed and exacerbated by COVID–19. Our world after the global pandemic is likely to see the proliferation of these inequalities unless we focus on the inclusive management of our multiple challenges. From access to healthcare and education to the all-encompassing disruptions of climate change, as leaders of management education we have to forge a response that recognizes and addresses with intent the disparate ways these issues affect various populations.
GBSN and Universidad de los Andes are partnering to engage university communities (students, faculty and leaders of organizations) across the globe during the month of October, leading up to GBSN Beyond. Race2Imagine is an opportunity for university communities across the globe to convene, exchange and celebrate community impact, while also offering an opportunity to directly participate in the development of proposals and actionable solutions that can be applied in different contexts.
Race2Imagine features three sessions focused on healthcare, climate change and human rights. Each session aims to facilitate the exchange of impact stories from different perspectives: students, faculty and leaders from different institutions to share their story about an initiative they have undertaken within their local community that addresses a challenge related to one of the four GBSN Beyond themes: human rights, healthcare and climate change. These convenings will also share their vision about the strategies, actions and initiatives that need to be undertaken in the near future across different contexts.
Session #1: Friday, 15 OCTOBER I 8:00 am – 10:00 am EDT
Race2Imagine aims to facilitate the exchange of impact stories from different perspectives: students, faculty and leaders from different institutions and government and civil society professionals to share their experience within their local community that addresses challenges related to healthcare.
This convening will share visions of the strategies, actions and initiatives that need to be undertaken in the near future across different contexts. Co-hosted with Miami Herbert Business School, guest speakers will explore and compare approaches to university-health system collaboration to achieve impact, using the example of informing the response to COVID-19.
Session #2: Friday, 22 OCT I 11:00 am – 13:00 pm EDT
This session provides a venue to discuss the role of forests in climate change. It features case studies on the enhancement of forest carbon stocks through both afforestation and reduced deforestation strategies -afforestation of otherwise degraded lands removes carbon from the atmosphere, while avoiding deforestation reduces the influx of carbon into the atmosphere while preserving biodiversity. The ultimate goal of this session is to stimulate a reflection on how businesses may constructively engage in the use of nature-based solutions to help solve the climate crisis.
Session #3: Friday, 29 OCTOBER I 8:00 am – 10:00 am EDT
This seminar will invite participants to reflect on how business research can have a positive effect on the promotion of human rights. To do this, the seminar will leverage the research experience of a group of professors who developed a study during the Colombian peace process with the FARC group.
Co-hosted with Geneva School of Economics, the seminar will feature panel discussions exploring academic and industry insights on human rights in illegal mining; human trafficking; drug trafficking; refugee rights; etc.
