Revolution: From AACSB Red Flags to Golden Stars

Keywords: Accreditation, stakeholder engagement, change management

Abstract: This roundtable will focus on experiential learning of those that have engaged in the assessment of MBA programs for accreditation. Facilitators will share their experiences of working with 4 MBA programs that were viewed as having major AACSB issues to having “gold star” reviews in under 2 years. Participants will be encouraged to tell their own AOL improvement stories to generate themes that could be embraced by future AOL change agents. The themes identified by the group will focus on the most important factors in creating effective change to accreditation processes in order to not only meet but exceed expectations.
