Big Surprise:Own Service Org not treated as a Business Case
My way of Teaching:Only Applied Education makes Sense to me
I am a SOSTAC / 3M Thinker: No Strategy at ‘CoM’ only Goals / Actions
Got a Culture Shock: Reactive ECTS vs Pro-Active Change Culture
Looking for Leadership:Dependency (Fear) vs Professional Culture (Trust)
See Four Silos: CoM Cooperation is Utopia – No common Goal
Action Learning: Logical Bizz Edu
Action Learning Perspective:Education will only be significant for the manager if it leads to solvingproblems that are encountered in the workplace…Nothing can be proven beforehand: all answers are found while the manager is busy with his real task…Together with three or four others they try to find out what they actually seeas the problem… what they decide to do about it, what results they want to achieve…
In Practice this means:Aquired Knowledge is not enoughLearn while doingAction Learning implies working togetherTutors do not possess the wisdom but question helping capturing the problemPersonal network of the entrepreneurial managerWorking on strategically relevant problemsDare to take riskResponsibility of the OrganisationCompetent IncompetenceReflection in Action
