For me this brief interaction pointed to three interesting developments in management education. First, it provided an example of the blurring boundaries between what companies and business schools do. Second, it revealed some of the key advantages of âlearning by doingâ to develop managers and leaders. Third, it demonstrated the importance of context in creating meaningful and effective learning experiences.

The time to think that business schools can continue teaching what they have, the same way, to the same people, in the same places, and with the same faculty is over.
