How Copenhagen Business School Increases Its MBA Program’s Impact through Experiential Learning
The Client
Copenhagen Business School is one of the largest business schools in Europe, with 20,000 students and 1,500 employees. It is also Denmark’s largest educational and research institute within business administration and economics.
All programs at CBS are triple-accredited and its MBA program is one of Europe’s leading business programs.
The Challenge
How can one of Europe’s leading MBA Programs increase the MBA program’s learning impact?
With a long tradition of action-based learning and experiential learning methods Copenhagen Business School has years of experience ‘teaching outside the box’. Lego Serious Play, Design Thinking and other experiential learning methods are standard teaching methods at CBS.
But how could the MBA Program apply new teaching methods to teach the flagship MBA program?
The Solution
- Strategy Tools run one full-day Transform! Simulation embedded into the full-time curriculum (Visiting faculty).
- Simulation integrated into the strategy course
- Considered an integrative module, covering multiple teaching programs in one simulation
- Strong focus on soft skills, team dynamics, leadership, and communications taught in the high-energy strategy simulation
Impact
A highly-engaging teaching method
Highly suitable for the continued development of the CBS MBA program
Now expanding to other programs at Copenhagen Business School
“I wish we had this much earlier in the MBA program.”
