Abstract

This chapter describes how executives benefit from exploration when solving business challenges. Similar to the notion of crowdsourcing, exploratory learning is a process, which progresses from problem scoping to executable outcomes. Graduate crowdsourcing can drive innovation and business transformation, and opens opportunities for business, science, and social collaboration. Graduates typically represent a range of competences and cultures, and are typically equipped with a curiosity and eagerness to solve real business challenges. The ultimate challenge for most executives and organizations is to transform or create new business. A business school environment is great for such challenges, as learning takes often place through real-world problems solving with practical implementation in mind.
