The Lake Forest MBA Learning Philosophy
At Lake Forest, we optimize your MBA experience by helping you gain the competence you need to become a business leader, and the confidence to apply your new learning and skills to your unique workplace challenges.
We do this through our distinctive, three-point approach to management education that we call Leadership Learning®. This "preparation with a purpose" readies you for greater workplace success through development of your competence, confidence, and ability to make significant contributions to your organization.
Structured within a supportive and collaborative learning environment, Leadership Learning is pragmatic, proven, and results-oriented, and combines solid business theory with the practical experience of our faculty and students. As you gain new business knowledge and insights – and practice applying that new learning in your coursework assignments – you build the confidence and skills to successfully apply your new management competencies at work.
Competence
You will acquire knowledge, attitudes, skills, and work habits with a strong focus on practical application built on solid business theory. With emphasis in key business disciplines, our program provides you with new tools to address specific business issues and new perspectives for thinking about business concepts.
Confidence
You will explore and experiment in a stimulating, challenging, supportive, and interactive learning environment and use it as a "practice field" for success. At Lake Forest, we strongly encourage you to incorporate your own individual and unique workplace challenges into your coursework throughout our varied teaching methodologies which include facilitated discussion, case studies, computer simulations, role play, and team projects and presentations. By applying new learning and skills to problems unique to your workplace, you will build confidence to bring those new ideas to your job.
Contribution
You will add value to your organization right away through the immediate application of your new learning, skills, and management competencies to your current business projects. Your access to other viewpoints on key business issues will broaden your perspective and benefit your organization. And the energy and enthusiasm from weekly class sessions will carry over into your on-the-job performance.
With increased competence and confidence, your impact at your workplace will be immediate. You truly will learn something one day and apply it the next, resulting in new and consistently more valuable contributions at work.
