Hey all!
This appears as a term in a training programme. It appears to refer to an established behaviour, although I cannot find it elsewhere. Anybody know what it might correspond to in English? The full context is:
Experiencia Dirigida: frecuente en los pymes, donde los empresarios se fían más de su capacidad de reacción que en técnicas de gestión.
Thanks!

Hands-on Experience
Could it mean this?
"Hands-on experience: knowledge or skill that someone gets from doing something rather than just reading about it or seeing it being done"

Guided Experience
It is very much a matter of hands-on or on-the-job experience, but crucially "dirigida": under the guidance of experienced professionals. A kind of mentoring approach.
The following is from a long list of tips from attendees at a conference on accounting, but it's applicable to business management generally:
"77. La formación teórica es fundamental, pero no suficiente.
78. Es fundamental la experiencia práctica dirigida por profesionales de mucha experiencia.
79. Debe tenerse en cuenta que la adquisición de criterios es un proceso en el cual hay que ir despacio.
80. La experiencia dirigida es una parte de la formación."

"The case-study method used by Harvard Business School to "teach" management to MBA students is designed to address this shortcoming by making the learning experience more interactive. But Leonard and Swap argue that even this classroom method is unlikely to do the trick. The only way to accelerate the accumulation of tacit knowledge, they suggest, is through what they call "guided experience" - learning by doing with the help of an experienced coach."

The idea behind the ST, I think, is that people who run small businesses tend to be sceptical of the value of theoretical management school training, and put their faith more in learning on the job under the guidance of experienced professionals.

Joss Heywood
: Exactly - also see "mentored experience" as a possibility

Thanks, Joss! I quite agree: that's also a possibility.

: Or coaching.

Yes, perhaps, since I think coaching (as opposed to training?) does imply actually doing it. Thanks, by the way!

AllegroTrans
: "coaching" appears to make sense here

Thanks! I wouldn't use it, though, because although it covers "dirigida" it doesn't really reflect "experiencia". In any case, in this field I think the jargon term is actually desirable.
