“LEarning from Analogies” (LEAN) project

The EU funded “LEarning from Analogies” (LEAN) project, implemented by an EU consortium including Universities, Business schools, and private companies form Italy, Poland, Romania and Cyprus, answers to the increasing need for soft skills development among managers and entrepreneurs, through the transfer and implementation of an innovative training methodology based on the use of “analogies” and cross-cultural cues for management education. Multicultural training is intended to be an effective instrument to help SME’s entrepreneurs and managers to acquire a global vision based on a cross-functional set of information, histories and best practices which are often very far from their way-of-thinking.
Beside developing new teaching material and analogical cases, the project contributed to the capacity building of trainers and the wider awareness on the “Analogical” training approach and its added value.
