PROUD TO PRESENT FOUR STUDENTS, FOUR MISSIONS, TWENTY COUNTRIES AND ONLY ONE CAUSE

RIDING FOR WATER AND RAISING AWARENESS ON THE GLOBAL WATER ISSUE IS OUR GREAT STORY.

A group of four students from TBS Education are embarking on a cycling campaign (100 000 km). Their mission is simple: they will cycle for water to raise awareness on water issues in more than 20 countries and with the support of four local NGO partners based in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia, they will install rainwater harvesters, water filters and sanitation solutions in primary schools.

The group started their adventure in New Zealand and made their way to Australia and finally southeast Asia. The overall success of their project is based on communication and dissemination. The university partners of TBS Education have a major part to play in supporting this initiative. A call has been launched to selective institutions asking them to student conference where CycleForWater can raise awareness on GLOBAL water issues withing the collegiate environment of our university partners.

Engagement with our International Network of University Partners

• The first University Sponsored Student Talk will take place on 29 March at James Cook University, Singapore and we hope that this list will continue to grow!

TBS Education wins prestigious Best Innovation Strategy Award 2022/23 in the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards for the project ‘The Blind Search’ developed by Dr. Soumyadeb Chowdhury, Dr. Cameron Guthrie, Guilain Praseuth and Dorothee Thibaut.

The AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2022/23, which were held on December 9, 2022 in London, brought together leading lights from the global business education community to celebrate excellence and commend achievement among business schools, MBA students and graduates, suppliers and employers.

Congratulations to the entire team that made this project possible: Dr Soumyadeb Chowdhury, Dr Cameron Guthrie, Guilain Praseuth, Dorothée Thibaut, Candice Rolland, Damien Biau, Emeric Le Meur, Céline Rodriguez, Sébastien Noguès, Anis Abdmeziem, Katia Santrisse.

The starting point

‘The Blind Search’ was inspired by the reality singing competition The Voice to engage, motivate, surprise and entertain students, as well as to celebrate their return to classrooms amid Covid-19 pandemic restrictions in France. The aim was to introduce educational entertainment (edutainment) and consider educational wellbeing in the teaching pedagogy for a research methods course (and similar theoretical courses) and make it truly student centric.

Such unconventional and unique pedagogical innovation opens new paradigms for designing and delivering courses post pandemic, creating the right balance between using digital tools and inspiration from the entertainment industry to enhance students’ classroom face-to-face learning interactions and experiences.

The team believes the spirit of this resolutely ‘Low tech’, focussing on human-interactions in the digital world, simple and transferable innovation has attracted attention. ‘The Blind Search’ project represents our schools’ pedagogical strategy: Educational Well-Being, Inclusiveness, Collaborativeness and Mission-driven Innovation for our beneficiaries.

What’s next

‘The Blind Search’ team will continue to develop and refine the project for students beyond MSc Digital Marketing and Ecommerce, in other contexts and courses beyond research methods.

The next version of ‘The Blind Search’ will have some new surprise elements (watch the space), focus on sustainability development goals, and enhance cross-departmental and programme collaboration.

Dr. Soumyadeb Chowdhury, The Head of TBS Education Center of Excellence CSR and Sustainable Development and Associate Professor in Emerging Technology and Sustainability Management contributed and co-authored the Sustainability section in the 2022 Word Economic Forum Report Future Readiness of SMEs and Mid-Sized Companies: A Year On.

The report in its second year looks at future readiness pathways on attracting and cultivating talent that will drive digital transformation and sustainable strategies within organisations to boost business productivity and organisational resilience.

The World Economic Forum hopes to make use of the insights generated by this report to provide assistance to SMEs and mid-sized companies on their journey to becoming future-ready.

Soumyadeb Chowdhury representing TBS Education participated in a panel discussion and facilitated a workshop at the forum to co-create knowledge with the Business Champions and practitioners. The panel discussion and workshop unearthed successful and effective strategies to enhance sustainability and digital initiatives within organisations without undermining the role of employees in the evolving and uncertain business environment.

Based on the research conducted in project collaborations between Professor Prasanta Dey Aston University and TBS Education, and funded by various research councils and funding bodies, the report provides tangible recommendations that will help SMEs and mid-sized organisations in their green transition as well as systematic digital transformation in this latest second 2022 edition.

TBS Education, Center of Excellence CSR and Sustainable Development, Soumyadeb Chowdhury and Dean of Research Samuel Fosso Wamba will continue to further develop and evolve this research to include emerging themes such water footprint, sustainable resilience, disruptive sustainability, risk and resilience, supply chain diligence Industry 5.0, employee-centric low carbon practices, emerging technology and wellbeing, by extending multi-stakeholder, transdisciplinary and international collaborations.

TBS Education professors and researchers Akram AL ARISS and Samuel FOSSO WAMBA are among the TOP 2% of the most cited researchers in the world according to the Elsevier BV report drawn up by Stanford University researchers in 2022.

Akram AL ARISS, professor of Human Resources Management at TBS Education, welcomed the accolade, saying,

Samuel FOSSO WAMBA, whose work has figured on the list twice before, said,

Since 2019, scientists at Stanford University have published annual data of the top 2% of the world’s most-cited scientists in 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields. The list is described as :
