Abstract
Innovation in information and communication technology, deregulation, and progress in skill development bring immense dynamics to the field of executive education, as they do to education in general. Web-based training apps and massive open online courses (MOOCs) create virtual learning spaces that are accessible any time and from anywhere. Most of them are free of charge. Accreditation of earlier achievements to further studies, as elaborated for instance in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), make lifelong learning more flexible and efficient. Experiential learning is a mandatory element of training designs, and competence models serve as standard instrument of human resource management. Based on this, four trends headlined "From content to context", "From input to impact", "From teaching to coaching", and "From mass production to ‘lot-size of one'" are treated in more detail.
