Maybe business school is not right for you at this time; it is important, however, to understand how MBAs think through problems.

The major benefit of an MBA is the ability to dissect a problem in a comprehensive and structured manner.  Specifically, top MBAs evaluate each opportunity through relevant frameworks in strategy, finance, accounting, and other subjects to provide solutions that integrate the disciplines.

Without this foundation, you run the risk of offering partial, inadequate answers that do not address all concerns.  For example, do you know how to do a discounted cash flow analysis to determine if a project is worth implementing?  Or can you read a P&L and pull the right levers to increase profitability?  In reality, MBA concepts such as these are really not too difficult to learn, they just need to be part of your business toolkit for you to become a better manager.

At MBA Day Camp, we teach the core MBA concepts necessary for any effective managerial decision-making.  We realize that there are obvious limits to what can be covered in one day.  Our goal is to introduce you to the “Big Picture” thinking style taught at top-tier MBA schools in a real-world based learning environment.  After MBA Day Camp, you will have a better feel for the far-reaching implications of any business decision; moreover, you will have the foundation necessary to deliver more holistic, creative solutions to your business problems.

In the end, we feel that intuition serves you better in business than academic concepts ever will.  It is important, however, to guide this intuition and think through all the angles appropriate to a situation.  MBA Day Camp will sharpen your business intuition and help you make more calculated, comprehensive recommendations in the future.
