AI-Ready Business Schools: Strategies, Lessons, and the Road Ahead

Following the July 2026 update to A Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Business Education: Exemplars and Critical Themes for Successful Integration, developed by Inspire Higher Ed, AACSB is hosting a webinar moderated by the report’s author and AI expert, Tawnya Means, alongside a panel of globally and institutionally diverse business schools featured in the report.

The report informing this webinar is the result of a multi-year initiative to collect, examine, and share emerging best practices in AI integration across the business school community. Drawing from a wide range of institutional exemplars and experiences, the project aims to help business schools navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape while advancing quality, innovation, and impact.

This timely discussion will explore emerging best practices for integrating AI across business schools and the critical factors shaping successful implementation. The conversation will highlight lessons, challenges, and strategies from institutions that are actively advancing AI integration in their schools.

Drawing from insights and emerging best practices identified throughout the report, this webinar will focus on three critical objectives for business schools navigating AI integration:

• Examine how business schools can strengthen faculty development through sustained investment, training, incentives, and support that build faculty confidence and capability in AI integration.
• Explore approaches for democratizing AI education and advancing pedagogical innovation by embedding AI literacy across all learning pathways—not only specialized programs—and leveraging AI to transform how learning occurs.
• Discuss how institutional leaders can navigate AI-driven transformation while balancing the urgency of adoption with institutional mission, values, and academic quality.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how business school administrators and faculty from around the world are navigating AI-driven transformation while remaining aligned with their strategic priorities and educational missions. The webinar will conclude with an opportunity for audience Q&A with the panelists.
