The
third unique feature of the new method is that it uses a computer to
compress the learning process.
It is the computer that makes it possible for the Accelerated
Experience Method
to teach managers in a fraction of
the time required by their own experience on the job.
It does this mainly by eliminating non learning time.
The
computer performs three functions.
First, it provides immediate feedback on results.
Second, it scores and holds managers accountable and third,
it requires managers to live with the consequences of their
decisions.
When
managers enter a decision into the computer, it immediately
informs them of the
outcome that would have occurred in the real situation.
It also scores them on their performance and holds them
accountable by comparing their performance periodically them to deal
with whatever new problem their decision has created.
