    Dear GDO community

    As we flagged at this year's GDO Celebration of Success in Boston, a Strategic Projects Fund has been established in 2019 for AOM's Divisions  and Interest Groups (DIGs), and individuals working through the DIGs,  to support strategic projects that drive our Academy forward.

    The Kinds of Projects We Seek

    We seek strategic project proposals, short and longer term, that creatively and meaningfully advance the Academy's Unifying Vision and Driving Goals. We seek proposals that go beyond our traditional offerings, and beyond the annual meeting, to address our collective needs.

    We easily envision members at work in new and innovative ways of… Connecting members of the global management community … offering unparalleled engagement opportunities … creating indispensable services … building vibrant volunteerism, fostering interactive communities, reimagining governance … AND MORE … such as (but not limited to):

    Creating indispensable services:

    • Increasing student service and combating student turnover
    • Promoting cross-division collaboration to create new member services
    • Serving a diverse global membership in tailored ways (adjuncts, practitioners, others)
    • Experimenting with new content and technologies (podcasts, webinars, videos) to deliver member value
    • Developing scholarly capability in emerging economies
    • Reimagining governance and developing strategic governing capability

    Connecting and engaging members: 

    • Building member communities and virtual engagement throughout the year
    • Connecting and integrating scholars from geographies with little AOM membership (Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, parts of Asia).
    • Facilitating the development of teaching resources
    • Building reciprocal networks that connect scholars to teaching and research opportunities


    The  webpage for the Strategic Project Fund provides all the details. so please take a look and if you have any ideas for the GDO Division, please let me know.

    The closing date for proposals is 15 November 2019.

    Regards
    Alison
