Bringing theory to life

Simply put, Action Learning is learning by doing. Following MIT’s “mens et manus,” or mind and hand philosophy, student teams apply classroom learning to real management opportunities and challenges to become principled, innovative leaders. Through this project work with host organizations, students learn how to work in teams, define and address problems, and reflect on their learning experiences. Though the content of each Action Learning lab or course is unique, these central themes remain the same.
