Keynote speaker Ron Ainsbury, M. Phil. (Oxon) Professor Business Responsibility & Sustainability
During a 40-year business career, as a business strategy consultant, CEO and entrepreneur, Ron has built and led successful teams, driven company turnarounds and developed innovative solutions to business problems.

Over the last decade he has focused on helping businesses develop innovative responses to ESG threats in the fast-changing global markets, often converting risks into business opportunities.

He is a visiting lecturer at two business schools in Vietnam where he leads classes in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Business Sustainability. He is a mentor to former students who are managing start-ups and is a Director of a New Zealand company, Ecadame, which provides online courses combined with hands-on training helping students build vocational careers.

The 21st Century Business School
There is nothing new under the sun.

In this talk, Ron will set out how a modern business school should be operating - and how many of the critical elements he describes have been critical elements in the past but long since discarded, for the wrong reasons.

He will describe how business leaders, in the community in which the business school operates, should play a vital role in the success of the 21st century business school.
