31 July

18057: Amplifying Pedagogical Practice in Management Education with PRME
11:15–12:45 PM ET at Convention Center in 110B

This professional developmental workshop engages faculty and researchers with teaching responsibilities (and passions) in reflective dialogue on how pedagogical practice and classroom-based work are articulated, evidenced, and shared within institutional and global narratives of responsible management education. Drawing on findings from the PRME Global Insights Report (PRME, 2026), the session invites participants to examine how teaching artifacts, assignments, cases, and experiential learning practices are translated, simplified, or overlooked in institutional reporting and recognition processes. Through facilitated peer exchange and small-group discussion, participants will explore how to more intentionally surface their pedagogy and praxis in ways that remain authentic to the classroom while contributing to broader institutional and community learning. The workshop emphasizes agency, reflection, and inspiration, leaving participants better equipped to communicate the educational work they already do within and beyond their institutions.

Attendee:

• Rumina Dhalla, Institute for Sustainable Commerce, Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics

• Dirk Moosmayer, KEDGE Business School

• Laura Steele, Queen’s University Belfast

• Dr. David Steingard, Head of PRME

• Meredith Storey, PRME

• Christian Van Buskirk, Gustavson School of Business (GSB), University of Victoria

• Jessica Wilson, PRME

16973: Teaching with Technology: Exploring GenAI/AI for What Works, What Doesn't, and What's Next
2:00–4:00 PM at Convention Center in 108A

This practical how-to workshop employs a Practice Showcase Circuit format where participants rotate through hands-on tables with demonstrations of practical and operational GenAI and AI (AI) interventions in management education. The 11 table format circuit format maximizes hands-on interaction and practical skill-building. Participants gain ready-to-use toolkits through rotating table sessions focused on what works, what didn’t and next best steps. All delegates will engage in depth with three different interventions of their choice, gaining immediate takeaways for next semester teaching. Each table and the overall PDW explores where we are now by sharing innovative developments that have worked and how they challenge teaching assumptions, and assessment practices. Delegates will leave with realistic and constructively critical ideas, proven strategies, clear implementation roadmaps, trouble shooting ideas and next steps for adoption that complements rather than replaces the vital role of educators

17455: Uniting to Advance the Global RME Network
11:30–1:00 PM at Sheraton in Salon 9

This caucus is designed as a discussion-driven session rather than an audience-facing or networking event. The core conversation will take place among invited representatives from journals, research networks, academies, and PRME who are actively shaping the RME research landscape. The goal is to surface how this work is currently being advanced, where it is getting stuck, and where greater alignment or coordination could strengthen the field’s contribution to SDG-related research and impact. The discussion will be structured around participants sharing critical RME research questions, identifying key constraints, and establishing commitments we can make to compound to meaningful change. The caucus is open to the wider conference community, who are invited to attend as observers and listen in on this conversation, with limited opportunities for input at designated moments. The goal of this session is to provoke meaningful discussion and inspire future collaborations for RME. The session is intended to offer transparency into how the RME research ecosystem functions and how priorities are being shaped, rather than to provide individual networking opportunities. In doing so, the caucus helps participants and observers alike better understand where their own work might connect in the future, while helping participants and observers better understand the RME research landscape and PRME’s role in shaping coordination and exchange across SDG-aligned research communities.

Attendees:

• Mairead Brady, Trinity Business School; AOM

11859: Playing with Uncertainty and Innovation: Pedagogical Transformation in Today’s Management Education
1:15–2:45 PM at Convention Center in 105A

Responsible Management Education (RME) has become a widely shared reference point in management education, yet it continues to be interpreted differently across institutional roles and contexts. Rather than treating RME as a singular pedagogical lens, a departmental pet-project, or an object to be evaluated against accreditation benchmarks; this Symposium approaches RME as a field shaped by multiple stakeholder perspectives and institutional logics. Using the PRME Global Insights Report as a shared empirical anchor, the session brings students, educators, and senior institutional leaders into structured dialogue to examine how recurring patterns in RME implementation are experienced and interpreted from different vantagepoints. The focus is not on the report itself, but on what becomes visible when large-scale institutional evidence is read alongside lived experience, pedagogical practice, and governance realities. By placing these perspectives in conversation, the Symposium contributes to ongoing RME scholarship by treating dialogue, reflexivity, and plural sensemaking as methodological resources for understanding how responsibility is learned, enacted, and sustained in management education. Within the Management Education and Development (MED) Division, the session offers an evidence-informed forum for examining the evolving contours of RME without closing down debate around singular definitions, experiences, or models of progress.

15431: Well-Being AI and the Reawakening of Meaning and Connection at Work
1:15–2:45 PM at Marriott in 302

The purpose of this Panel Symposium is to engage a group of panelists in a formal, moderated, interactive discussion on how Well-Being AI—aligned with the global priority of

mental health and well-being under the United Nations SDG 3—can be designed and governed to restore dignity, reduce human suffering, and sustain meaning in AI-enabled workplaces through

the following guiding questions:

1. How can AI help people feel more seen and valued — instead of invisible or replaceable?

2. Which ethical lines must leaders draw now — before AI advances further into human

decisions?

3. What leadership and design choices allow AI to support genuine dignity and compassion

in healthcare?

4. In what situations is AI currently helping reduce human suffering, and which leadership

and design choices are making those efforts successful?

5. How do we sustain meaning at work when machines take over identity-shaping tasks?

Attendees:

• Dr. David Steingard, Head of PRME

11405: Humanistic Management and Leadership for Flourishing
1:15–2:45 PM at Sheraton in Salon 9

The Humanistic Management Caucus creates an informal space for building community and advancing collaborative initiatives. The overall intention is to spark collaborations that can grow beyond the caucus gathering through ongoing community engagement. In the session itself, we aim to:

1) Build connections among scholars, practitioners, and educators interested in humanistic

approaches to management;

2) Nurture research ideas and potential collaborations through interactive dialogue;

3) Share and develop teaching innovations in an informal, collaborative setting;

4) Create opportunities for spontaneous cross-pollination of ideas across different domains and

Perspectives
