Strategy is Performance, Episode 6: Professor Julia Ivy on EDGE [Elucidate, Develop Trust, Generate Value, Excite] Method

"In this episode, I interview Dr. Julia Ivy, who is a professor of at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business. She is a passionate advocate of a certain approach to case methods in the classroom called EDGE (Elucidate, Develop Trust, Generate Value, Excite), which she describes in some detail. If it is true that strategy is performance and that performance requires practice to achieve competence, Julia's approach to cases is something military educators should consider. Her approach focuses on real-world challenges, the importance of practical research, and the necessity of producing something of value. I think there is a resonance between how she approaches teaching practitioners (in her case, business practitioners) and what PME educators need to do to develop and cultivate military and national-security professionals."
