BSIS : A Decade of Impact

BSIS (Business School Impact System), initially created by FNEGE and internationalised by EFMD, aims to communicate to business school's stakeholders the real impact of the academic institution and help the institution understand its role and importance in its impact zone(s). More than 60 Business Schools in 19 countries involved in BSIS have demonstrated its purpose is much more significant. For a decade, BSIS developed the awareness of the sector with the first framework to propose a global view of impact based on seven structured dimensions: financial, educational, business development, intellectual, ecosystem, societal and image impact. The 62 testimonies of business schools and experts that provide the content of this book prove that BSIS is more than impact indicators and measurements. BSIS creates: – an impact on the communication of schools; – an impact on their strategy, positioning and branding; – their culture of impact; – their organisation and information system on impact; – a fundamental understanding that impact assessment is an actor of change. Michel Kalika is the founder of BSIS and has been the director for a decade. He is the president of Business Science Institute, an international DBA Programme.
