Committing fully to lifelong learning could be the only way for business schools to ensure their long-term sustainability.
Many working professionals today pursue continuing education, but very few of these professionals even those with multiple degrees are lifelong learners. Lifelong learning encompasses far more than continuing education. It refers to the process that occurs when people assess their own natural talents and use critical thinking to continually grow and learn in all aspects of their lives.
Unfortunately, the current model of formal business education fails to help students develop this mindset. With technology advancing and new information emerging all the time, people who aren’t true lifelong learners will not be able to keep up with the accelerated pace of change.
