Abstract
STARTED more than 20 years ago, the BOSNO programme is still appropriate today. Whilst the principles upon which it is based have never gone out of fashion, the current trend towards ‘hands-on’ experiential learning has stimulated new interest in the BOSNO approach. In 1975, five large Dutch companies – all perceived as leaders in Management Development – realized that by learning together they could extend the horizons of their managers. However, they were unwilling to sacrifice a close integration of their training with their own company practices. Thus, BOSNO was born – a Management Development training programme, executed in a consortium framework, and based upon action learning.
