Development Programme for Leaders of Engagement (DPDoE) 2023-2024
DPDoE supports those leading, or aspiring to lead, on engagement within their institution to develop their leadership and strategic capabilities to manage engagement performance, strategy, and funding in a rapidly changing engagement landscape. This programme has been designed for both academics and those working in professional services within the global business school community, and aims to create a self-sustaining international cohort through a combination of expert input, peer support and networking opportunities.
The new DPDoE is delivered as four sessions intended to explore and inspire participants to think imaginatively about how they lead engagement in their own business schools, by creating a culture that encourages, enables and supports colleagues to engage with individuals and organisations in what they do. The programme is structured around the following topics:
- What is engagement and where does it take place?
- Engagement as strategy
- Engaging with who, why & how
- Supporting and scaling engagement
-
Embedding engagement
