Theme:
“Partnership in Responsibility: Embedding PRME in Support of the Corporation of the 21st Century” invites a dialogue between business, business schools and other stakeholders around responsible business challenges, needs and innovative business practices. We will provide a platform where educational institutions can interact and react to corporations’ expectations from management education/development.
Who Should Attend:
A must for anyone engaged in the development of responsible business leaders; business human resources executives responsible for the selection of business schools for executive education; leaders of signatory business schools; those responsible for the implementation of the PRME principles and for the preparation of PRME “Sharing Information on Progress” (SIP) reports; business schools who have not yet become PRME signatories.
Aims:
- Insights from business leaders who are signatories to the United Nations Global Compact to unpack the needs of companies in the context of the development of responsible managers;
- Examples of emergent best practice in the application of the six principles of the UN PRME;
- Practical “how-to” sessions on state-of the-art Sharing Information on Progress (SIP);
- To link the UN Global Compact’s current agenda to that of PRME with the goal of understating how to address the current impediments that the corporation faces and what management education/development can do in light of these challenges.
