The Graduate Management Admissions Council is looking to re-design management education and it wants you to make suggestions. From their press release:
“GMAC is inviting anyone to submit three paragraphs that answer this question: What one idea would improve graduate management education? The GMAC Management Education for Tomorrow (MET) Fund will award a total of US$250,000 in prizes to 15 people whose ideas rise to the top, with the most promising proposal taking home US$50,000.”
Have you often thought of ways to better educate new managers? Do you wish for changes in the MBA curriculum so the managers you hire are better prepared to deal with the issues you face? Here is your opportunity to give input into what the soon to be minted MBA’s learn. If you do have a few thoughts, please share them with us.

Hi there. Thanks for posting news of the GMAC “ideas to innovation” challenge. We like to sing the song, “1 idea. 3 paragraphs. 50,000 dollars” in relation to the contest. If you’re on twitter, so are we: @gmacmetfund. Facebook otherwise. Really, thanks for the help in sharing this info with your network and for the way you put your own twist on the opportunity to participate. ~ Jessie, working with GMAC on this project
