Management education is quickly evolving as the world undergoes several major changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It must adapt to several different challenges, such as new customer needs and new competitors. This increases the need for stakeholders in management education to truly understand what the successful business schools of the future will look like.
This webinar will focus around the following ideas: relevance and excellence in both teaching and research and an institutional dynamic which continually moves the institution to the future through innovation and change. Attendees can expect to leave the webinar with a greater understanding of how to identify current gaps and the change processes that will have to be deployed to effect such changes.

This conference tackles the specificities of both Africa and the Middle East regions in common plenary sessions and in separate tracks, specifically targeting relevant issues for both regions. The conference addresses topics such as ongoing trends and new developments in management education, inside, and outside of the two regions. It promotes an active debate between regional actors and participants from other regions of the world.
Business school professionals that attend the conference will develop higher levels of insights on how to approach challenges in the upcoming years, while also strengthen their networks across the regions.
This roundtable will showcase a multi-country project that mobilizes evidence-based insights in the development of entrepreneurship education and training as drivers of economic empowerment of girls, women and other disadvantaged groups (e.g., youth, informal workers). The GEET+ is the work of Telfer School of Managementâs Professor Barbara Orser and Dr. Catherine Elliott. The tool has been selectively applied in Canada and the United States.  Led by the Womenâs Economic Imperative (WEI) and funded by the International Development Research Centre (Canada), the pilot project is being launched in Peru, Mexico, Kenya, and Nigeria.Â
Join this roundtable and learn how the WEI international team of collaborators and experts is working to:
Strengthen pathways to build viable and bankable women-owned enterprises.
Enhance the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and training within universities and community-based support organizations by addressing biases in solution design and sector knowledge about equity, diversity and inclusion.
Refine measurement and assessment criteria to support gender equality in entrepreneurship education and training.
Facilitate knowledge sharing among academic, industry, non-governmental and government stakeholders, including the catalyzation of networks where they do not already exist.
Attendees will leave the roundtable with an understanding of how entrepreneurship education and training can influence perceptions and better address systemic biases.
Understand how entrepreneurship education and training can better address biases within course content, design and delivery.
Share information about the Gender-Smart Education and Training Action Strategy (GEET+) as an assessment tool.
Grow from lessons shared about shifting perceptions in education, training and business communities to better support women entrepreneurs.
The Telfer School of Management is committed to driving the design and delivery of inclusive entrepreneurship education and training to enhance the UN Sustainable Development Goals of gender equality and womenâs economic empowerment. Telferâs Inclusive Entrepreneurship scholars are informing research, practice and policy to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems around the world.
