Leadership and Innovation Mark FGV Dean’s Interview on the Challenges Facing Business Schools in Latin America

Professor Luiz Brito, Dean of FGV EAESP, is featured on the cover of Ambition magazine, a publication by AMBA (Association of MBAs) distributed to accredited and certified business schools across several countries. In the interview, Brito discusses key topics shaping the future of executive education, such as leadership, innovation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, and internationalization.

The article highlights FGV EAESP’s journey as a triple crown business school, a distinction granted to institutions that hold the three main international accreditations in the business education field: AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), and AMBA (Association of MBAs). This recognition places the School among a select group of globally institutions.

Throughout the interview, Brito addresses the challenges faced by business schools in Latin America, emphasizing the importance of regional connection and constant adaptation to market transformations. “For an organization to survive, it must begin a new path of innovation while the current one is still successful,” he states, referring to the influence of the “second curve” concept.

The Dean also emphasizes the need for continuous professional reskilling:

“MBA alumni need to embrace the concept of reskilling, keeping pace with the accelerated changes in the business environment,” he highlights.

The publication also reinforces FGV EAESP’s role in educating leaders prepared to transform organizations and generate a positive impact on society, aligned with the contemporary demands of education and economic development.
