After the Flood: forming green shoots by co-designing management learning

Inquiry-Based Learning, Co-Design, Staff-student partnership

Business schools around the world face changing currents from political and economic forces, as well as changes to the academic profession itself. Looking back over several decades perhaps the biggest change has been the massive growth in student numbers participating in higher education: what we call the ‘flood’. Working within a UK business school context, we are responding to these pressures with a ‘co-design’ approach to ‘inquiry-based’ management education – which is challenging and redefining the nature of academic roles and relationships. We will use this participative workshop to explore the implementation of co-design within undergraduate management education.
