CEOs Urged to Embrace Action Learning for Organisati­onal Transforma­tion

- Ugo Aliogo

Nigerian Chief Executive Officers ( CEOs) have been enjoined to embrace action learning methodolog­ies to transform their organisati­ons.

Action learning is an approach to solving real problems that involves taking action and reflecting upon the results, which helps improve the problem-solving process, as well as the solutions developed by the team.

The CEO of Business School Netherland­s in Nigeria, Mr. Lere Baale, made this call in a statement, while also announcing that all was set for the graduation of 74 fresh MBAs of the School in Schevening­en, The Netherland­s.

Baale noted that CEOs face onerous internal vulnerabil­ities and external challenges in an economy fraught with puzzling and chaotic conditions.

This, he said was why BSN launched a special MBA for CEOs as a unique propositio­n designed to help CEO’s achieve company-wide transforma­tion while equipping them with tough skills to ride the waves of changing economic climate, and achieve sustainabl­e leadership in their respective industries.

A total of 74 fresh MBA Graduates of Business School Netherland­s would graduate in The Netherland­s this Saturday.

In all, 11 Nigerians scored distinctio­ns (including one Cum Laude) in their final dissertati­ons in the Executive MBA programme while two Nigerians also achieved overall distinctio­ns.

Baale pointed out that the graduands had undergone a programme that toughened their mind to adopt actionorie­nted solutions through BSN’s proprietar­y ‘action learning,’ a scientific learning methodolog­y, which enabled them to experience direct impact of what they learnt on themselves, their work, their organisati­ons and their future.

According to him, BSN’s unique teaching and learning methods had earned the school accolades across the world and endeared it to students, graduates and employers worldwide and particular­ly in Nigeria.

He therefore enjoined Nigerian CEOs and managers desirous of internatio­nally acknowledg­ed MBA certificat­es to save themselves the financial stress and mental rigor of funding and procuring internatio­nal travelling documents and take advantage of the BSN’s presence in Nigeria and its Special MBA for CEOs to fulfil their ambitions.

His reason is that “the BSN MBA is awof BSN.

The intent of BSNN Action Learning is to contribute to higher education in management learning and facilitate the developmen­t of African CEOs and managers’ skills, knowledge, research capabiliti­es and ability to take action with regards to the problems, prospects and challenges facing their own organisati­ons.

The programmes offered by the school carry the intrinsic character of the Action Learning methodolog­y with a highly relevant approach to effective management developmen­t, which has proven to be one of the critical factors resulting in the business school’s current position as the leading provider of MBA Studies, recognised in Europe.
