Abstract
Business schools are better at teaching innovation than practising it. Yet the external turmoil schools are facing is rapidly exceeding that of internal dynamics and business school leaders are advised to turn their attention outwards. While Covid-19 was a systemic shock that induced a wave of innovation, business school leaders today need to think about how to create a more systemic approach to innovation than one that is driven by a single response to a single external event. Business schools operate in a dynamic environment demanding a solid innovation engine that enables innovation across four dimensions – portfolio, format, pedagogy and partnerships. Schools benefit from paying specific attention to (1) how to organisationally embed innovation in the school and (2) how to build an ecosystem that fortifies its efforts, all while battling the incumbent inertia that stems from sticky mental models and resource dependencies.
