Essay calling for a complete revamp of executive education cites Henry Mintzberg

Published: 24 May 2017

A recent essay in Chief Learning Officer calls for a massive rethink of how executive education is designed and delivered.

It starts with the premise that executive education needs a major overhaul. As Desautels Professor Henry Mintzberg says, “The practice of management, as evidenced in a lot of big corporations and banks, is utterly dreadful. I don’t think business schools really get it, or care to get it.â€

Then, the essayist, Patricia Hind goes on to rebuild the system on a new framework based on consultation with a business school known for the quality of its executive education. The process resulted in a four-pillar model: Communities, contracts, content and contexts.
