Navigating the Paradox Mindset: Balancing Opposites for Innovative Solutions
Explore how leaders can harness the power of paradox to tackle complex challenges. Leaders with a paradox mindset recognize that multiple perspectives and approaches can coexist, and they embrace these contradictions rather than rush to resolve them. Learn how to cultivate this mindset in your decision-making processes and how it can lead to more effective problem-solving in the context of business education.

Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Optimizing Productivity and Performance
In the past few years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way teams and organizations work. To combat feeling overcommitted, overworked, and overloaded, we need a new playbook—one that enables each of us to fully leverage the opportunities in front of us and equip ourselves with the knowledge we need to both think more strategically and get more work done when time and resources are limited. In this keynote session, UC Berkeley faculty partner, Dr. Sahar Yousef will review how our brains and bodies work best and provide highly effective and scientifically proven techniques for getting our most important work done, in less time, and with less stress.

What’s Next in Accreditation?
This session will cover the latest standards refresh, equipping you with the knowledge to ensure your institution's compliance and success.
12:05 PM - 1:00 PM ET
Designing One AoL Process to Meet Multiple Accreditor’s Standards
Participants will explore how to develop an efficient assessment process to satisfy the requirements of multiple accreditors. Participants will utilize a typology that captures key AOL process dimensions to identify commonality across their accreditors and determine how to efficiently design an AOL process to address common dimensions. Participants will also identify requirements unique to specific accreditors and determine how to best address these in their assessment process. Lastly, participants will consider the utility of shared measures (e.g., rubrics) across multiple programs at the same level (e.g., undergraduate programs) as a means to gain efficiency in the AOL process.
