Duke’s cutting-edge MBA program embraces an ethos designed for deep discussion. This approach fosters an environment where students engage in meaningful dialogue, challenge assumptions, and explore complex ideas in depth. The goal is to cultivate critical thinking, collaborative learning, and a comprehensive understanding of the subjects at hand.

Our work with them was twofold. The first aspect, a series called “Math for Decision Making,” focused on traditional e-learning to prepare incoming students in calculus, statistics, and financial modeling. This ensured they could hit the ground running on day one, without using class time for foundational math.

The second, more complex aspect, called “Foundations of Strategy,” emphasized maximum interactivity in the classroom. Students defined modern business cases using a set of strategic models, with the choices and insights of previous cohorts integrated into future discussions. These evolving contributions enriched learning, serving as dynamic touchpoints for both immediate classroom engagement and ongoing analysis as new perspectives emerged.
