LEARNING MORE EFFECTIVELY ON A GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

Learning by doing is not the sole process of learning for managers. Experiential work on programmes can be improved if the opportunity is offered of going through all aspects of the learning cycle. Deliberate analysis of learning situations and managerial and learning preferences can be productive of extra learning. Use of instruments designed by Belbin, Saville and Holdsworth, Honey and Mumford, and Schein is described, with interesting case examples taken from a BAT Industries' management development programme.
