Stirling Management School (SMS) - looking for guest lecturers for spring semester 2020

Some of our colleagues in SMS are looking to enhance their modules through guest lecturers and have provided the following criteria for different slots across their modules. Do you fit the bill?:

- Someone who is very customer focused and would be able to provide an insight into the importance of ‘getting it right’ in terms of the alignment of values
- Someone who has provided financial support to entrepreneurs - perhaps involved in venture capital, angel investment etc.
- A serial entrepreneur who is likely to have both succeeded and failed along the way - willing to share lessons learned and why some ideas worked whilst others didn’t
- An early-ish stage start-up (less than five years) who can provide some insight into the realities of doing business (pros and cons)
- Someone involved in a family business who perhaps post-graduation has gone on to take it in a different direction from what their parents had focused on

If you are interested in taking part, please email Lynn Whiteside, Employability Manager, on [email protected].
