How MBA Today is different |
Real-world not theory
No wasting time with what-ifs. Lessons from the street-wise entrepreneurs who have graduated from the School of Hard Knocks.
Fast-Paced
Fifteen-minute TED-style topics plus an implementation session immediately after to cement your learning and leave you with tangible action steps.
Unconventional
Anyone can read the “standard answer” to a business situation. But generic answers provide unoriginal solutions. Our courses offer contrarian thinking & sometimes counter-intuitive ideas.
Action not ideas
You are far to busy for another unimplemented idea. Every course has an action planning session afterwards to put the ideas to work in your business.
