Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum, opened one of
the WEF's meeting last month by saying *" Complexity,
velocity of global issues means decision makers are always
behind"*. From heads of state to corporate decision makers,
everyone is struggling with the same challenge: too much -
too fast. There is one profession however who has studied
carefully decision making, and systematically trained
thousands of decision makers to allow them to make decisions
in minutes, often in very uncertain conditions : *the
airline and airplane industry*. Managers and executives
could learn from them.
As digital convergence, peer to peer, and global word of
mouth is shaking industry from media to telecommunications
or even banking, there is little evidence that Executive
Management Education is evolving at the same rate. There
seems to be a the discontinuity between trends going on in
adjacent industries, and the way executive education is
taught. As curiosity built, I had numerous discussions with
renowned universities and business schools about the future
of executive education, in particular around management
education. Have those organizations integrated into their
strategic thinking the recent developments in technology and
society? Are they (we) willing to question why the majority
of executive training hours still happen in a classroom? Who
are likely to be the new players in this field?* *
