    Dear ODC colleagues,

    I warmly invite you to join me for an interactive PDW at AOM 2025 titled "Why Not Transform Through Accreditation?", taking place on Sunday, July 27, from 8:30–10:00 AM (CEST) at the Bella Center, Hall C-C4-m2, in Copenhagen.

    Together, we'll explore how accreditation can serve as a powerful tool for institutional transformation-far beyond compliance. Using Kurt Lewin's Unfreeze-Change-Refreeze model, we'll engage in simulations, real-world case studies (including ESG-UQAM's EQUIS journey and PMI-accredited programs), and stakeholder role-play to tackle change management, resistance, and strategy in action.

    Whether you're a doctoral student, faculty member, or administrator navigating change, this session offers practical tools, thoughtful discussion, and maybe even a laugh or two to start your Sunday right.
