Flevy Management Insights: Education

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower," Steve Jobs famously stated. In today's fast-paced business environment, forward-thinking corporations are becoming aware of the crucial role played by 'Educational Strategy'—specifically, executive and continuing education—in fostering innovation and overall business performance. It's no longer merely an add-on benefit but an indispensable tool for attracting and cultivating the best talent, creating a vibrant culture of ongoing learning at every level of the company, and staying ahead of the curve.

For effective implementation, take a look at these Education best practices:

The Case for Lifelong Executive Education

According to a report by Deloitte, reskilling and upskilling have emerged as C-suite priorities, not least due to rapid technological advancements that generate a constant need for new competencies. Employers that provide continuous learning opportunities yield substantial benefits, from improved employee engagement and retention—Bain research shows that companies with the most engaged employees are 21% more profitable—to more efficient decision-making and increased productivity and innovation, in line with findings from a recent Forrester research.

A Strategic Approach to Executive Education

Tackling executive education strategically translates to tailored, targeted initiatives that reiterate a firm’s vision and objectives. EY recommends aligning learning programs with business strategy to optimize results, reflecting broader trends in Performance Management. Debunking the one-size-fits-all fallacy, McKinsey emphasizes the importance of customizing learning initiatives to the needs of individuals—even at executive levels—to foster deeper understanding and tool mastery, and consequently, drive improved application on the job.

Real-time, Agile Learning

Digital Transformation has revolutionized education delivery and made learning more agile and real-time. Accenture’s studies show that technology-enabled learning, such as microlearning and immersive reality, enhances engagement and retention. Goldman Sachs underscores the rise of mobile platforms and AI in democratizing education, making it more accessible and enabling individualized learning paths. As part of Change Management, organizations must adapt their strategies to incorporate these emerging trends in executive education.

  • Microlearning: This involves bite-sized learning modules that can be consumed on-demand, making learning more flexible.
  • Immersive Learning: Leveraging technologies such as VR or AR, immersive learning enhances engagement and simulates real-world experiences in a risk-free environment.

Rethinking Talent Development

Talent Development is intrinsically linked to continuous learning. Boston Consulting Group’s work in human capital strategies suggests that firms that adopt a 70-20-10 model—70% of learning on-the-job, 20% through mentoring, and 10% in classroom training—see significant improvements in executive competencies over firms relying on traditional models. 'Leadership Development' programs, for instance, should involve increased exposure to practical, on-the-job problem-solving and less emphasis on classroom-based seminars. This approach refocuses attention on Strategic Planning, Operational Excellence, and long-term business sustainability.

Investing in Future Leaders

Investing in executive education is an investment in the future leadership of the organization. As part of the overall 'Business Transformation', PwC highlights how succession planning using executive education ensures the relay of leadership is smooth and that future executives possess the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the challenges of tomorrow. This builds a culture of continuous growth and learning that permeates every level of the organization, fostering Innovation and facilitating long-term success.

The Value of Educational Partnerships

Partnerships with educational institutions offer another avenue for executive education. MIT Sloan Management advocates for collaborations between academia and industry to create learning programs that address real-world business challenges, enabling an organizational Culture that is proactive rather than reactive. Such tailored executive training facilitates not only topical knowledge acquisition but also bolster insights into Risk Management, Strategy Development, Market Understanding, and much more.

In a world marked by constant change and disruption, taking a strategic approach to education can create a robust and adaptable workforce ready to tackle tomorrow’s business landscape.
