Best Business School Partnership

The Best Business School Partnership award recognises business schools that share AMBA & BGA’s passion for building networks and have adopted a proactive, innovative approach to strategic collaboration.

It is open to any business school working strategically and collaboratively with (for example) another school / group of schools, an employer, a consultant, education partner or technology provider, a social impact group, an individual, a charity, or another organisation.

Eligibility

• AMBA-accredited and BGA members, validated and accredited business schools are invited to nominate themselves if they are eligible, based on the Award criteria
• When nominating a partnership, please ask the partner organisation’s permission first

Ineligibility

• Ineligible entries may be disqualified at any phase of the competition without notification
• Late submissions will be ineligible
• Incomplete submissions will be ineligible

Award Criteria

• A clear narrative that demonstrates why the strategy was implemented
• How the partnership is having an impact
• Describe the strategic link the business school has with the partner organisation
• Evidence that the partnership supports the values and purpose of the business school
• An outline of how the partnership and development strategy ties in with the goals of both organisations – it should be wider and more innovative than simply placing students in jobs, or selling a product, for example
• Evidence of success: how it has strengthened the position of both partners

Judging Format

Shortlisted schools will be required to provide a school biography, logo (jpeg and eps), partner’s logo and bio, and supporting information for why they should win this award, which we will use for marketing purposes.

No further steps follow shortlisting – judges will select the winners.
