What I wonder most of all on reading this post is how much executive education is really as broken as suggested here. Sure, as the article says, an academic classes "affords very little opportunity for executives to get out there, roll up their sleeves and put what they've learned to the test." But my admittedly limited exposure to executive education suggests to me that a lot of it has moved on, offering participants hands-on experience with scenarios, activities, practice sessions, one-on-one mentoring, in-office exercises, and more. This is the right way to do it, and is, I think, more common than the author suggests.
