The World After COVID-19
At GBSN, we are keen to explore the contours of the world after COVID-19, the world that is emerging as a result of the extraordinary times we are experiencing today. To do so, we are reaching out to our community to better understand the many ways in which the world after COVID-19 will be different for our key stakeholders including governments, businesses, universities and students.
GBSN Beyond
Business schools are ideally placed to be the nexus between government and society in shaping a collective response to our most critical challenges.
From access to healthcare and education to the all-encompassing disruptions of climate change, as leaders in business and higher education, we have to forge a response that recognizes and addresses with intent the disparate ways these issues affect various populations. How do we upskill, collaborate, and innovate across sectors with a need so urgent and vast? Join us at GBSN Beyond to explore these questions and collectively take action to develop sustainable solutions!
