The Power of Teams
Queen's uses an innovative approach to team-based learning that is far more advanced than that used in other programs. We believe strongly in our team-based approach because it mirrors today's progressive workplace. You will learn the best practices for successful team-building and teamwork, and leave the program well-prepared to lead, or be a valuable member of, a high performance team.
What do we mean by team-based learning?
When other MBA programs talk about "teamwork", what they usually mean is "group work" – a very different concept. At Queen's you are assigned to a team of up to 8 participants for the duration of the program, and a significant portion of your overall grade is derived from teamwork.
Team members collaborate on assignments, projects and presentations, drawing on the skills and experience of every team member, greatly enhancing the learning experience.
Team Coaching and Support
A dedicated professional Team Coach is assigned to each team. In the first week, they will work with you through the process of team-building and successfully conducting your first team meeting. Throughout the program, they will monitor your team's effectiveness and provide regular feedback and guidance. They will provide you with proven processes and best practices for overcoming any obstacles that may arise during the year.
"Team-based learning really replicates the workplace, but having a dedicated Team Coach to guide you is a great addition. Through the process, I learned new skills on how to create, motivate and participate in a high-performance team, and had the opportunity to take my leadership skills to the next level."

Developing Your Team and Leadership Skills
One of the greatest benefits of the team-based approach is the opportunity to develop your team and leadership skills. Each team member is given many opportunities to lead projects and contribute to projects led by other team members.
