Faculty Skill Building: International Faculty Program

l A total of 24 professors from 14 countries across four continents participated in the 25th edition of the International Faculty Program (IFP) in June. This program empowers professors to enhance their teaching and leadership capabilities. The academic director of the IFP, Prof. Miguel A. Ariño, says the program is designed to challenge the status quo of the participants’ academic work. It helps them identify their strengths and areas for improvement and prepares them to use the case method effectively.

HBS-IESE COMMITTEE MEETING

Sharing Goals: Innovating In Education

lInnovating for progress. This is a clear objective throughout the business world and business schools are no exception, as seen in the Harvard Business School-IESE Committee meeting on June 5 in Boston.

What improvements can new technologies bring? What are the implications on business models and knowledge generation? How can program formats and content be optimized? These were some of the questions addressed at the meeting, attended by Harvard Business School (HBS) Profs.
