‘This will be the widest research conducted with MBAs’
R egular readers of Ambition will know that a core focus of AMBA’s insight strategy is to bring relevant, practical and challenging research to our network and, with that in mind, we’re in the process of gathering information and data for what we hope will be most in-depth study into Business School strategies and MBA student and graduate behaviours. The first phase of our 2022 Business School survey will be launched this month, and you should receive an invitation to take part in the study. Throughout this year, this groundbreaking piece of research will investigate the demographics of the Business School; opportunities to democratise business education; strategies for Business School elevation; teaching and learning methods in business education; the commercialisation of higher education; the purpose of Business Schools; student user experience (including student recruitment, personalisation of course content, and wellbeing), and lifelong learning methods, including digital credentials. We hope that this cutting-edge research will empower you to benchmark your own strategy against those of your peers all over the world. It will also inform you on potential trends to look out for as we move forward in the volatile and uncertain world. At the same time, we will seeking the opinions of your students and graduates – among AMBA’s 60,000 members. We believe this will be the widest piece of research ever conducted with MBAs, canvasing their views on careers and the future of work; the impact of the pandemic; social and upward mobility; responsible management; the climate emergency, and international and political relations. In order to paint the most comprehensive picture of Business School outlooks and student and graduate experiences and aspirations, I’d urge you to share these surveys with your teams and with your cohorts and alumni; if you need any more information or the links to complete the questionnaires please email me. I look forward to sharing the results with you on these pages, later this year. David Woods-Hale , Editor, Ambition

Over the past two years – as we’ve grown accustomed to remote and hybrid ways of working – cybercrime has been on the rise. Research from Doherty Associates found that a small business falls victim to a hack every 19 seconds. As we move forward in this ever- uncertain new way of working, employers are coming under pressure to secure the buttresses of their cyber forts, and minimise their cyber risks. On The AMBITION Podcast, Terry Doherty, CEO of tech firm Doherty Associates, teaches listeners how to build virtual armour in the battle against the cyber criminals.
