Listen "Towards a progressive MBA"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode our Punks discuss Ben's ambition to create a progressive MBA programme, one that leaves the formulaic traps of established MBAs for dust and prepares the leaders of the future with the skills that the 2020s demand. After all, with large parts of the workforce working flexibly, AI looming large over everyone, and Gen Z entrants to the labour market no longer interested in climbing the corporate ladder, traditional leadership skills (whatever they are) no longer fit the bill. Listen to our mavericks' debate on the subject and let us know what key skill you would want to be tought at a thoroughly modern MBA. Colin's quote is from Geoff Marlow, the full version of which is “a future-fit organisation is one where sense making, decision making & action taking are tightly coupled, rapidly and repeatedly iterated, deeply embedded and widely distributed throughout the organisation.” For more context, Geoff suggests the following edition of his newsletter, although it doesn’t include this exact phrase https://geoffmarlow.substack.com/p/fr...
