J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management Learning
As a top ranked business school in the world, Kellogg Graduate School wanted to augment its reputation by being the leader in innovative teaching techniques. A partnership was created and case-based learning was taken to a new level by creating a rich, interactive case study “scenario.” The instructive and entertaining story was based on client work done by a member of the Kellogg faculty with a leading European luxury automobile manufacturer. Kellogg students, who were experienced consultants, called the scenario “true to the life of a consultant” and “easy to use, realistic and fun.” The students and professors felt that the scenario went beyond traditional case-based formats to give an accurate and engaging portrayal of a typical consulting engagement “complete with personality conflicts, cultural challenges and what it’s really like to be a busy consultant.” Global Reinsurance and Risk Management
A leading global reinsurance provider needed a solution to these problems: - New hires needed to grasp more quickly the complex terminology, concepts, purposes and types of reinsurance to be effective on the job.
- How to engage their people in business reality, but avoid overwhelming them and losing their attention with standard presentations of insurance and reinsurance concepts.
- Povide the same solution for their clients as a marketing and educational tool.
An engaging story was created involving reinsurance appropriate for new hires and clients with an array of instructional activities along with special tools. The client needed and received a custom-developed solution that could be hosted by them and deployed as a self-paced, independent study course. |
