Conclusion
What
makes the Accelerated Experience Method™ of significance is that it
offers managers a new way to learn from experience at a time when they
can no longer count on their own experience to teach them how to
perform their jobs effectively, or how to move up the management
ladder. What makes this new method worthy of consideration is that it
demonstrates that there is an opportunity for us to change and expand
the role of management training by improving on improving on
experience as a teacher. It may be premature to conclude that
experience is a teacher whose time has passed, but its time is passing
because it can no longer be counted on to teach managers what they
need to know to perform their jobs effectively.
Sooner or later most organizations will conclude that
experience is too slow, too expensive and too risky to be relied upon
to develop their managers.
The
weaknesses of experience were tolerated in the past because there was
no substitute for experience as a teacher.
There was no way for managers to learn what successful experience in their target jobs would teach them.
As the effectiveness of new teaching and learning techniques
are demonstrated, however, these methods will replace ordinary
experience in developing managers.
If
those of us who are responsible for management training and
development programs take advantage of this new technique, sooner or
later ordinary experience will become a teacher whose time has passed.
