Interactive Learning Approach

Benefits of the SCS interactive learning approach include an organizational, realistic context for connecting theory and practice, enhancement of internal networking as team members work together in a learning environment, and the delivery of program outcomes that improve business performance. Experienced SCS faculty develop interactive learning experiences and use case studies to connect business content to strategies for solving business problems. Applied learning models, which use simulations, case studies, instructional materials, and small-group exercises, challenge participants to learn new skills and develop creative problem-solving strategies. Directly linked to participants' real business issues, applied learning models inspire a high degree of collaboration and sophisticated analysis that yield practical results.

An organization may choose to participate in the development of learning projects for a custom program. Hands-on interactive learning projects, designed around the company's critical issues, focuses on real business challenges and are typically carried out by small teams. If an organization wishes to become more involved, they can endorse each project and assign a sponsor to shape and champion the project within the organization. At the end of the project, the team presents its results to the sponsor.
