Abstract:

Why would a leading public international organisation venture into an immersion programme for its managers? How difficult is it to organise and sustain such a programme? What are some of the challenges of sustaining it? And what lessons might we learn from the experience? This paper describes the efforts of the World Bank Group in trying to learn through immersion experiences.
