The retreat yielded a number of significant outcomes:
- A summary of the vision and its key components drawn up from input that participants provided on day 1 of the meeting. This summary sets the tone for the final version of chapter 4 of the report which is currently being completed
- For each of the main stakeholder groups (providers of management education, funders and policy makers, participants in and buyers of management education, influencers) a number of suggestions were developed on how that group may progress the 50+20 vision. These suggestions feed into chapter 5 of the report
- Practical suggestions for improving on and adding to the overall report content, style and tone were developed and documented
- Plans were outlined for the presentation of the report findings in Rio+20 in June during the PRME Global Forum
One of the highlights of the meeting took place when participants delivered impromptu “elevator pitches” describing the vision of 50+20. The following 18 min segment of video captures many of the “elevator pitches” that were delivered.
