Top business‑school deans signaled a strategic pivot for 2026: while endorsing AI and digital tools, leaders emphasized cultivating human judgment and consensus‑building. UC Berkeley Haas Dean Jenny Chatman urged a focus on "high‑impact humans," framing judgment as the differentiator; Duke’s Mary Frances Luce highlighted polarization and the need to teach students to navigate disagreement constructively. The preference for judgment over pure technical training has curricular and hiring implications: schools may redesign assessments, expand experiential learning, and recruit faculty with backgrounds in ethics, negotiation and decision science. Deans also warned that classroom redesign must pair tools with pedagogies that measure tradeoffs and context sensitivity. For external partners and employers, the resolutions indicate graduates will be marketed for judgment and leadership competencies alongside AI literacy.
