ACTION LEARNING

 

Benefits of Action Learning for Students


The Action Learning projects provide the best opportunity for students who have completed coursework in functional disciplines to integrate their knowledge.

Students also obtain valuable networking contacts through their action learning project managers. In some cases, students have been offered positions in the company for which they completed an Action Learning project.

Feedback about student performance:

“The Product delivered by the MBA team twelve-week program was thoughtful, actionable and reasonable. Some of the solutions discussed during the iterative process of the project were implemented immediately and some found their way into my long-range plans. The team was fantastic to work with. They were professional, respectful of each other’s ideas and dedicated to the project. Their level of enthusiasm was refreshing and infectious!”

“The Action Learning Program allowed us to tap into a great resource that provided additional insights and energy to our project. The team, interdisciplinary and multi-cultural, got right to the task with a professional approach that one would typically expect only from paid consultants.

The project’s results have been very helpful in our planning of the follow-on actions. We look forward to working with the program in the future.”
