COLLABORATIVE ALLIANCE BRANCHES OUT WITH FIRST MEMBER IN LATIN AMERICA SCHOOL : Centrum PUCP, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Peru
Centrum PUCP has become the first institution in Latin America to join the Future of Management Education (FOME) Alliance. The addition marks FOME’s second regional expansion of the year, following on from the recent arrival of Henley Business School Africa. In total, there are now 15 members of the collaborative network focused on digital learning, including EDHEC Business School in France, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School in the US and the Lee Kong Chian School of Business at Singapore Management University. Centrum PUCP general director Ruben Guevara said that the ability to share insights into the latest innovations in online business education with other members of the network would complement the school’s existing strength in this area. “Being part of the FOME Alliance will allow us to exchange best practices and experiences in the use of digital technologies and teaching methodologies with other world-class business schools, to increase the quality and impact of our online programmes.” Centrum currently offers
an online MBA and a suite of online master’s degrees, as well as a wide- ranging portfolio of executive education. Harald Øverby, FOME Alliance chair and a special advisor in AI & technology at BI Norwegian Business School, highlighted the advantages of the network’s international expansion: “FOME is now on its way to becoming a truly global alliance of business schools. The cultural diversity and global mindset of its members will be a key asset for collaboration and moving forward to create cutting-edge learning experiences that shape responsible leaders.” Formed in 2018, FOME pools expertise and drives research across its network with the aim of delivering flexible, engaging programmes that meet the needs of today’s busy and often on-the-go learners. Deputy chair of the FOME Alliance and professor at Vlerick Business School, Steve Muylle explained that members “dare to innovate to stay ahead of the curve in management education”. TBD
