Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This paper identified that experiential learning is critical for ensuring learning outcomes are met. Research limitations/implications This paper acknowledged that it would be difficult to fully measure the extent of influence from experiential learning unless there were follow ups studies involving employers on those students that received this learning and those that did not. Practical implications This paper recommended that business programs do more to incorporate experiential learning to provide a more student focused approach. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
