Executive Committee
The Executive Committee plays a critical role in providing strategic leadership and operational oversight to ensure the success and sustainability of an international Business School network with learning centers in various countries.
The Executive Committee comprises In-Residence Program Directors, Deans, and Academic Partners representing the breadth of expertise within the SSM Network. These esteemed members bring a wealth of experience and insight to the table, each serving as
a dedicated leader in their respective roles. Together, they form a collaborative body that spearheads strategic initiatives, shapes academic policies, and fosters innovative approaches to education within the SSM Network.
The Executive Committee convenes annually during the Swiss School of Management’s three-day summit, held at one of the In-Residence Program locations. Throughout this intensive gathering, the committee delves into a spectrum of critical topics, spanning
Accreditation, Managerial Challenges, Financial Agreements, Research Initiatives, and Academic Quality Assurance. Discussions also revolve around program delivery methods and potential adjustments to meet evolving educational needs.
At the conclusion of the summit, the Executive Committee compiles its findings and recommendations into a comprehensive report. This document outlines necessary changes and requests for consideration by the Management team. Subsequently, upon
Management’s review, approved recommendations are slated for implementation, ensuring the continual enhancement and alignment of the SSM Network’s educational endeavors.
