MBA Action Plan

I don't know how many people are aware of this idea by Julien Gordon. Its a plan for MBA that lists a lot of things I didn't think of. I'm going to use it all the time, I hope. 

Of course being an International means I have to conduct the 'interviews' over email, I think I'm taking some steps in that direction.... lets see how it all pans out.

I think the format for this plan is a good starting point. I would say the action steps below the goals are far too broad and each could have an overwhelming amount of activities.

I would focus on moving from an outline to a grid where you can determine and focus on the areas that overlap several goal. For example an inner circle encompassing the corners of 4 goals.

Also, on the 3rd page where Jullien has the interview questions for 1st and 2nd year students - I would ask those questions of 3 year previous alums to determine whose wisdom was the best in hindsight. Also, ask the professors, and not over lunch, the same questions. Their answers will give you insight into their souls as well as their priorities.

Good luck. You are welcome to contact me to discuss further.

Jill Roy Jolley,

I agree with you that it tends to be way too much work, and that its a good starting point. In fact i have already started to tweak it, maybe i'll post my version, or a collaborative version on google docs
