The role of a business school dean has become increasingly pressured and challenging in a highly competitive global environment. After four successful editions, the International Deans Programme (IDP) will run again, starting in March 2012.

Target Group
The IDP is aimed at recently appointed deans/ directors of business schools that are members of the Association of Business Schools (ABS) and/or EFMD. It is a great networking opportunity to collaborate internationally. The IDP enables a group of up to 20 international deans to visit business schools in three countries. You will gain a unique overview of strategy, operations, structures and future markets in business and management education.

IDP Profil

"The programme gave me unique access and understanding about the operations and individual characters of top schools in the world in a very short space of time. IDP also gave an understanding of what other international deans were thinking about and a network of friendly deans as well as EFMD and ABS colleagues to talk to when I need some help."
Professor Baback Yazdani, Dean, Nottingham Business School
