About the Event
Friday, 27th September,2024 – IIC, New Delhi
Relevant education is crucial for growth. Despite rising literacy rates in India, unemployment highlights a gap between academic learning and corporate needs. Prioritizing digital skills is essential for success in a tech-driven global economy. “B-School for A Digital World” addresses these issues by bringing together industry experts, academic leaders, and aspiring innovators. The event focuses on integrating digital skills into curricula and understanding technologies like AI and Big Data. It aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry, ensuring graduates are prepared to shape and thrive in the future.
Key Discussion Points
Curriculum Relevance: What concepts should teaching to prepare our graduates ill-prepared for a world dominated by AI and climate crises? What radical shifts in our teaching approach are necessary to future-proof our students?
Faculty Evolution: Is our faculty equipped to lead or are they clinging to old paradigms? Should we be rethinking the profile of who belongs at the front of our classrooms?
Student Experience: Are we delivering an experience that prepares students for the chaos of the real world, or are we sheltering them in a bubble? How can we shake up our approach to truly engage and challenge them?
Industry Collaboration: How can we disrupt our own relationships with industry to drive real change?
Ethical Leadership: Are we truly instilling ethical leadership, or are we churning out leaders who will prioritize profit over planet and people?
