Innovating Business School Admission Strategies

Business schools have long relied on resumes, personal statements and interviews to gain insight into applicants’ non-cognitive skills. However, these traditional methods are highly subjective and resource-intensive for program staff. Join us to learn how Acuity Insights assists programs in building innovative admissions strategies that allow them to look at the whole applicant in a valid, reliable and efficient manner.

You’ll learn:

  • How Casper, a situational judgement test, works

  • How business and other non-health related programs incorporate it into their admissions process

  • The meaning behind the Casper score and how it has helped programs gather valuable insight into an applicant’s non-cognitive skills like collaboration and empathy

Societal Impact Leaders: Competencies for Modern Business Leadership

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, sustainability and societal impact have emerged as critical determinants of success. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has identified seven competencies necessary for leaders and organizations to drive positive societal change. As businesses navigate this evolving paradigm, it’s essential for business schools to understand the profound implications of these competencies in preparing students for the new workforce. 

Join us as we delve into understanding how these competencies can supplement existing leadership skills currently taught by business schools, and gain practical suggestions for enhancing curricula to cultivate socially responsible leaders. The webinar will explore the intersection of sustainability, societal impact, and leadership in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and how these factors are shaping the current and future state of businesses and the transformative role of leadership in fostering positive change.
