In Britain, in the field of management training, a new concept is struggling for birth. It is by far the most exciting concept on the whole training horizon at this moment. It is remarkably difficult to communicate and, although it is highly persuasive in itself and exerts a powerful attraction on all who come in contact with it, it is not yet widely or formally accepted as the right way of setting about the training of managers. So far the approach has no official advocates. But it soon will have. It is not the product of any one team of management trainers: several groups are moving towards the new concept independently of each other. Their work is not exchanged and their experience, so far, is not shared. This is because the various teams are still working very hard to work out the full implications of this system and to translate the concepts into real forms of training.
