Management Development Courses: Do They Work or Is it Time for Some Changes?
Abstract
Questions whether current management development programmes do or can have any lasting value. Suggests that many are inappropriately focused, seriously limited in their content and unambitious for their recipients. Argues that management development itself needs to change: clients have a right to expect a service which has useful, measurable and lasting effects. The onus is on the providers – internal and external consultants, and business schools – to deliver this.
