I started this month taking part in an AMBA and Peregrine Global Services Roundtable held in London. The topic of discussion was learning outcomes. One of the main questions was 'how do curricula need to change and evolve to secure measurable and current learning outcomes in a constantly changing business world?’ This is a question that has motivated much of the innovation at Maastricht School of Management in recent years and that will continue to inspire us. This month’s newsletter reflects for instance how our curricula are putting more emphasis on management of high-tech and innovation, on complex (soft) skills, on lifelong learning, gender equality and tech-transfer, on assuring quality and to benefit from being embedded in a dynamic, multi-cultural setting. Check out the deadlines for our programs and the dates of our events and experience MSM for yourself.
