| metoCube home | Lucas-blog  MBA or entrepreneurial project? id 288 created 2009-05-12 modified 2009-08-02
Even if I think you learn a lot of things in an MBA, I believe that taking on an entrepreneurial project is a much complete learning experience. After all, there is a lot of high quality educational content out there in the Internet, and you learn things better by putting them into practice. What I miss in an entrepreneurial learning experience is the coherence of learning everything in a logical sequence and in an integrated way, something that MBAs have through structured programs. It could be interesting to try to mix both approaches (MBA + entrepreneurial process) in something like a "Hands-on MBA"... Something similar to this idea is what Seth Goding is putting into practice. Here's the program I'm interested in creating:
One hour a day of class/dialogue
Four hours a day of working on my projects
Three hours a day of working on your personal project
Five hours a day of living, noticing, doing and connecting
Participants learn: design
analytics
strategy
marketing
sales
leadership
community development and coordination
technology (as a user, not a creator)
bravery
clarity
presentation skills By the way, I agree that connectios is an overrated thing you get from an MBA. If you want contacts all you have to do is networking.
