REGION 10
SOUTH ASIAN COUNCIL FOR BUSINESS SCHOOLS & PROGRAMS
Bangalore, August 27 & 28, 2015
THE WORKSHOP
International Accreditation secures and enhances the reputation of a business education campus that is providing high quality business programs. It also builds the school as nothing else would when the accreditaion begins at the campus. The faculty, the students and the stakeholders along with the management are aligned to the common goal of building a glbally benchmarked school on all aspects based on the mission set out by the school. The entire accreditaiton process is dynamic and mission driven.
For achieving such synergy, a strong mentor and peer support eco system becomes essential. At different points of time in the accreditation process, different peers would be involved all of whom would cohesively build the school based on the structure laid out in the ACBSP accreditation process documents ably interpreted by a trained mentor. The process itself involves the school preparing a self-study report with the help of the mentor which is then reviewed by a team of ACBSP evaluators both prior to and during the site visit of the candidate school. Mentors and evaluators are the backbone of any accreditation process!
The two day workshop on August 27& 28, 2015 is being held in Bangalore, Karnakata South West of India, a coastal state with beautiful beaches and Bangalore also being the Indian equivalent of the Silicon Valley ! The workshop is to help reach out the accredited schools of the 17 countries of the Region 10 and help their faculty to become a more proactive partners in the accreditation process of ACBSP being pursued by a number schools in the region.
