Abstract
This section of the book includes three papers that explore the needs of the future learner in executive education. Interestingly, none of the papers submitted or selected focused on curriculum content. There was no offer of a rewrite of the MBA; no suggestion of new qualifications; and no tick list of knowledge and skills that are predicted as necessary for the future. Instead the papers all take a more reflexive approach to development, focusing on what learners are going to need in order to benefit from a learning experience, and how that experience will need to be delivered in order for them to achieve that learning.
