This panel symposium, "Playing with Uncertainty and Innovation: Pedagogical Transformation in Today's Management Education," addresses the critical skills gap in management education and explores transformative pedagogical approaches. Anchored by the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative, the session highlights the urgent need to develop holistic skills such as systems thinking, futures thinking, and sustainability science, essential for addressing the 21st century’s grand challenges. Panelists will discuss four core themes: navigating uncertainty, fostering lifelong learning, bridging the skills gap, and leveraging technology for transformative education. The session emphasizes the role of innovative, play-based pedagogy in cultivating creativity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. Drawing on evidence and experiences from the PRME community, the symposium advocates for integrating students as active stakeholders and incorporating human-centric skills into curricula. Through interactive activities and open dialogue, the panel explores how playful, inclusive, and tech-savvy approaches can prepare future managers to thrive in dynamic industries. By examining uncertainty as an opportunity for innovation, the discussion will illuminate strategies to enhance well-being, build psychological safety, and create risk-tolerant cultures. The session concludes with actionable insights to inspire educators to embrace pedagogical transformation and guide their institutions toward responsible management education.
