A Consultant Turns Professor Discusses the B-School Curriculum | Lynne Segall |

A CMO Confidential Interview with Lynne Segall, Associate Dean at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University, formerly the Director of Talent and Organization Offering Development at Accenture. Lynne discusses the importance of students learning technical and theoretical skills along with the "harder to teach" softer skills like "how to get stuff done," the differences between Millennials and Gen Z, and why core conceptual classes still matter. Key topics include: why experiential learning is so important but so hard to teach; why she pushes students to "fully define the problem" to be solved; and some of the barriers slowing development of new b-school curricula. Tune in to hear why "good showmanship" can't cover up poor thinking.
