Amelia Peterson is a social scientist with a background in policy and consulting. She is currently leading the development of an entirely new MBA program at the London Interdisciplinary School. In her previous role as Head of Learning and Teaching at LIS, she has led on developing many of the school's internal processes of curriculum and institutional design. Highlights from the conversation include: an opening segment reflecting on March Madness' beautiful combination of math and basketball; examining the difference between intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom; how pattern recognition plays a role in developing expertise; what today's MBA program's often miss and how the new LIS MBA plans to be different; a quick comparison of the DEI landscape in the United Kingdom and United States; why Amelia believes that AI is still in the "crappy intern" phase; and a lightning round that covers toys and namesakes!
