Excellence Awards

Best Innovation Strategy

The Best Innovation Strategy award is a fantastic way to celebrate your school’s achievement in pushing boundaries in terms of creativity in practice.

This prestigious award is a celebration of innovation and radical thinking in business education delivery across all areas of the business school and has been developed to recognise and reward game-changing new practices, risks and creativity around AMBA & BGA school programmes.

It promotes the values of taking risks in pursuit of the new in different areas such as teaching, learning, recruitment and alumni relations.
