Why this GROOC will help you change the world - KARL MOORE, The Globe and Mail

This is Karl Moore of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, Talking Management for The Globe and Mail. Today I am delighted to sit down with my McGill colleague Henry Mintzberg to talk about his new GROOC. So Henry, what is a GROOC? HENRY MINTZBERG – Come on Karl, everyone knows what a GROOC is, you don’t know? No, actually I am just kidding. It is a term we invented – it is a MOOC for groups. A MOOC is a Massive Open Online Course, you know one of these things where, you know, 150,000 people sign up and 26 finish or something like that, but not quite. So we are doing one for groups. It’s not the first time people have tried to do one for groups, but it is the first one called a GROOC so we are laying claim to the term. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/management/transcript-why-this-new-phenomenon-will-help-you-change-the-world/article26369313/
