The report presents the procedure and findings of a systematic review of international literature on Outdoor Learning (OL) in Vocational Education and Training (VET) contexts. While OL is a widely established and successful practice to promote personal, social and leadership skills in VET settings, very little literature and research directly address the tools employed in this field and the learning effects they produce. Wider literature on Outdoor Learning, Outdoor (Adventure) Education and leadership training and team development programmes provide substantial evidence that OL in VET successfully promotes the transversal and transformative competencies that are called for in international frameworks for life-long learning, e.g. by the UNESCO and OECD. Among key factors leading to these effects are the multi-sensory engagement in the outdoors, real-life challenges and applications, measures for post-course integration of the learning into the work environment, and (self-)reflection. Direct literature and research on OL in VET is called for to expand and refine this body of knowledge.

“…Military generals from Sun Tzu to McChrystal regularly appear on our reading lists, while core topics from supply chain management to business intelligence draw from or originated in military contexts (Hugos, 2018; Schultz et al, 1994). Commando training “assault courses” were rebranded after WW2 as “ropes courses” and are widely used in corporate and business school settings (Kourtesopoulou & Kriemadis, 2020). The military acronym VUCA ( volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous ) coined to describe the post-Cold War strategic landscape (Stiehm, 2002) has been widely adopted within the management literature (Bennett & Lemoine, 2014; Millar et al, 2018) while numerous MBA programs offer military-based courses ranging from boot camp experiences at HEC Paris (Sack, 2013) and Wharton (Laymon & Campbell, 2001), special forces-derived resiliency training at Queens (Gibson, 2017) and the application of combat leadership principles at Ivey (Seijits, 2014).…”

Ninja Training Meets Management Education: Integrating Taijutsu into an MBA Complexity Leadership Course

In this paper I describe the integration of taijutsu, a martial art emerging from the Japanese ninja tradition, into an MBA complexity leadership course. There is broad consensus amongst leadership scholars that intangible qualities such as humility, courage, and uncertainty tolerance are particularly important in complex contexts. There is, however, little consensus as to how such qualities can be effectively cultivated. I review the literature related to martial arts training in management education and discuss the pedagogical challenges of developing both the competencies and capacities required to lead in complexity. I introduce taijutsu and describe several training drills and a facilitation methodology intended to help students develop practical fluency with systems thinking and its implications for leadership and decision-making. Student reflections highlight increased engagement along with potential perspectival and behavioral shifts as promising areas for further investigation. I close by making a case for deeper integration of informational and transformational learning within management education.
