The SIM Division warmly welcomes the AOM community to join this interactive teaching workshop on Transforming Management Education for a timely and actionable boost of inspiration, rejuvenation, and acquisition of practical tools and skills for cultivating flourishing at individual, group, institutional, and societal levels. This workshop features two parts. Part 1 (open to all) is an interactive panel discussion with internationally renowned scholar-educators Donna Hicks, Matthew T. Lee, and Michael Pirson on topics of dignity, love, humanistic management, and flourishing. Part 2 (pre-registration is required) involves focused rotations among facilitated breakout circles for sharing resources, developing teaching skills and tools, and supporting teaching efforts to advance and amplify system flourishing. Contemporary business and management education is occurring within the context of the global polycrisis, characterized by critical risks and existential threats associated with climate change and diminishing biodiversity, war, disease, social and economic inequality, human rights violations, and, political and economic polarization, contestation and instability. These issues can negatively impact students and faculty alike, leading to anxiety, hopelessness, demoralization, exhaustion and a sense of immobilization and isolation. Despite these challenges, management education still often reflects economistic ideals involving short term profit maximization and unconstrained growth, rather than perspectives and skills that protect and promote dignity, and that activate individual and collective flourishing in management education and the intersecting sociopolitical, economic and environmental systems beyond. For Part 1, all are invited to join this SIM teaching-focused workshop to gain insights about transforming management education from renowned expert panelists and through interactive discussion. For Part 2, pre-registered workshop participants will rotate through 2 breakout groups of interest to further hone skills, access resources, and develop actionable teaching tools to address topics including: (1) Catalytic system change for flourishing – business schools and beyond; (2) Course and syllabus design for flourishing; (3) Educator wellbeing and flourishing – tools and practices; (4) Student wellbeing and learning for impact; (5) Navigating discussions of controversial or contested topics; (6) Dignity-related teaching skills and practices; (7) Flourishing in AI-engaged teaching and learning.
