Pas fou comme idée
Semblable à Défi HEC et au projet spécialisé du MBA, mais à la puissance 10: 31projects.
31Projects connects social organizations and businesses with students interested in using their skills to help them tackle
the problems and challenges they face. Organizations can engage students in two ways:
Projects: Individual or team projects where students work on specific problems (volunteer or paid)
Challenges: Crowdsourcing-style contests where the community develops innovative solutions to your challenges

Master in Business Imagination (MBI)
The MBA degree to be replaced by a new MBI – master’s in business imagination. On his blog, he says the degree would no longer churn out administrators but instead prepare students for a fast-paced future by “abandoning any pretence that the skills of yesterday will be important tomorrow.” Here’s what he would expect of graduates.

Rigueur
If a curriculum lacks intellectual rigour, students never realise how little they really know. The arrogance propagated in business school may well have contributed to the financial crisis. I agree this presents an opportunity for business schools—students should get more rigour, and more humility.(à propos des programmes MBA, tiré de The Economist)
MBA + IT
Point de vue de SAS
There is a trend toward staffing IT departments with non-technical employees or “hybrids” (e.g., MBAs with some tech background). More and more, the pervasive thought of CIOs seems to be “I can teach the technology. But getting staff who understand business drivers and speak the same language as the business side of the house is harder to come by.”
[...]
The exec pulled the IT guys from those projects and has actively sought to staff his team with that rare, but highly-sought-after creature – MBAs with some background in technology.
[...]
So if you’re replacing the technologists with those hybrid business types, isn’t it logical to expect an IT backlash? I mean someone has to get down and dirty with the technology to make it all work. At some point more than a cursory knowledge is required, and no amount of business savvy can replace that.

Article de Fortune, abordant le même thème avec l'angle du CIO.
There was a time when the geeks who keep a company's tech systems running could get by without knowing the finer details of corporate strategy. You called the chief information officer when you needed a server upgrade, not a strategic plan.

Ce que les étudiants d'Harvard retiennent de leur passage ?
All their answers are different, but they're all the same: none are about the content of the courses; all are about the experience.

Strategy VS Execution
Question: What role should strategic planning play in the management of an organization?
Answer: Doing the right thing is important, which is where strategy comes in. But doing that thing well—execution—is what sets companies apart. After all, every football play is designed to go for a huge gain. The reason it doesn’t is because of execution—people drop balls, miss blocks, go to the wrong place, and so forth. So, success depends on execution—on the ability to get things done.

Workplace buddies
Période 4, cours de gestion des ressources humaines. Nous avons étudié plusieurs leviers permettant la mobilisation du personnel. Formateur tout ça, mais il en reste à mon avis que les principaux éléments demeurent tout de même les gens avec qui on travaille, notamment les amitiés qui se créent.
Gestion des opérations
À la période 3, petite introduction pour plusieurs au merveilleux monde des opérations et de la production. Dans mon cas, rien de neuf sous le soleil. Mais dans le fond, la GOP, ça demeure d'abord et avant tout de l'exécution et ça, ça ne s'apprend pas nécessairement.
