Webinar: Lessons learned from the evolving corporate engagement model
Thursday, October 26, 2023, 1-2 p.m. ET

The ever-changing business environment and personnel updates in organizations are two key challenges for higher education institutions in building long-term relationships with external organizations. Blueprint is a holistic company engagement model that broadens and deepens targeted corporate relationships. This approach shies away from one-off transactional relationships. Rather, we listen and reflect with key external stakeholders and decision-makers within selected organizations. The process minimizes bias, generates new insights, and facilitates businesses in solving their challenges. With Blueprint, we foster mutually beneficial corporate relationships with Gies College of Business resources.

In this webinar, our audiences will learn (1) an overview of Gies Blueprint, (2) what interview questions we ask the participants before the Blueprint live session, and (3) what the Gies Blueprint team learned in the past 20 months since it was first launched.

Panelists:

• Kristie Paskvan, Associate Director Business Development, Gies College of Business, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
• Ning Zulauf, Corporate Relationship Manager, Gies College of Business, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

*This webinar is open to NACRO members.
