The leader in experiential learning

Action Learning embodies the MIT spirit. It really is, 'We've talked enough. Now let's get out of the classroom and roll up our sleeves. We need to get things done.'

Ken Young MBA '14, Senior Director, Nike, Inc.

MIT’s motto, mens et manus, translates from Latin to mind and hand. With intention, MIT’s founders were promoting, above all, that education was for practical application. At MIT Sloan, we seek to apply knowledge and skill in a way that benefits the world.

Simply put, it's not enough to sit in an ivory tower and think about stuff all day—you have to go out in the world and make use of it.

Experiential learning is a centerpiece of the MBA experience. We integrate hands-on learning opportunities throughout the curriculum. Through Action Learning labs, MIT Sloan Intensive Period, and the MIT Independent Activities Period, you practice these management skills over and over again.

WATCH: MIT Sloan Action Learning: Student and Faculty Reflections

Students and faculty discuss the value and benefits of Action Learning at MIT Sloan.

We welcome wicked problems.

There are few management skills more powerful than the discipline of clearly articulating the problem you seek to solve before jumping into action.

Nelson Repenning Associate Dean of Leadership and Special Projects

Daunting problems demand ingenuity. We are attracted to and eager to expend incredible amounts of energy on challenges that would intimidate others. These wicked problems—social or cultural problems that are difficult or impossible to solve: climate change, poverty, health care—these are the problems worth solving. And these are the problems that appeal to us the most.

First, define the problem.
From day one, MBA students are challenged to start every interaction with, "What problem are we trying to solve?" Bold leadership comes together when such brilliant minds take intelligent risks, unafraid of complexity and chaos, always searching for new and better ways.

Because we're not distracted by titles and accolades, we are free to bring together the right team to tackle the right problem—and with this as our orientation, new perspectives, answers, and opportunities emerge. This is at the heart of problem-led leadership.

Problem-led leaders seem to have a natural aversion to being branded leaders. But when an intriguing problem requires it, they step up to the plate.

Share a common purpose with uncommon people.

"If this past month was any indication of what the next two years are going to be like, then I'm nothing but excited about spending them here with these amazing people!" Chandrika Maheshwari, MBA 2019
