How can business schools prepare leaders to drive both innovation and sustainability?

At the AMBA & BGA Latin America Conference in Lima this September, we will explore the concept of innovability – the integration of innovation and sustainability to create lasting value for organisations, society, and the environment.

While the business world has been discussing innovability for more than a decade, it is now gaining increasing attention in higher education as institutions seek to align teaching, research, and impact with the challenges of the future.

In this thought-provoking session, Ruben Guevara, Chair of the Board, Director-General, and Professor of Leadership and Strategy at CENTRUM PUCP Business School, will share how CENTRUM PUCP is embedding innovability into its approach to business education and research.

Join us to discover how business schools can advance financial, social, and environmental performance while fostering responsible leadership and sustainable prosperity.

What does it really take to lead an organisation when every decision has consequences?

We're delighted to be joined by Fernando Pérez, Director of Operations, Digital Transformation, and Entrepreneurship at PAD - Escuela de Dirección at our Latin America Conference in Lima this September, who will give an inside look at EXSIM, their flagship MBA business simulation that places participants in the heart of a complex, competitive business environment.

Over the course of a simulated two-year period, MBA students take on executive leadership roles, analyse live operational and financial data, negotiate with stakeholders, manage crises, and present results to a Board of Directors. Along the way, they develop the skills that matter most in leadership: strategic thinking, cross-functional collaboration, decision-making under pressure, and resilience when facing setbacks.

As business schools continue to seek innovative ways to bridge theory and practice, EXSIM offers a compelling example of learning by doing at its best.

Barry O'Donoghue had so much to say about his experience of studying an MBA at Kent Business School that we had to split it into two parts! Read on for Part II of his transformational MBA story.

From self-doubt to strategic clarity — Barry O’Donoghue’s MBA journey shows what real transformation looks like.

This isn’t just about career progression. It’s about redefining confidence, leading through complexity, and influencing at the highest levels with clarity and intent.
