Background

The task of universities and business schools is “to prepare graduates for jobs that do not yet exist.” These jobs of the future are being created right now by leading businesses worldwide.

Korn Ferry and the Global Business School Network are excited to announce their partnership to deliver a series of conversations with business leaders who are catalyzing innovation. These include chief strategy and innovation officers and other c-suite executives working where industries and ecosystems are intersecting in spectacular ways to generate the jobs of the future. These conversations will be designed for a global audience of business students and alumni, as well as the staff and faculty who are helping them navigate careers in a rapidly changing world. The live sessions will involve interactive components, such as Q&A and chat. The sessions will be recorded and packaged as a series. Live sessions will be offered once every other month.
