Abstract

Sitting at her desk late afternoon on Friday 21st October 2011, confronted with a slew of emails from the fifteen climbers, Dianne Bevelander, and executive educator and the Associate Dean of MBA Programmes at Erasmus University’s Rotterdam School of Managements (RSM), had no doubt that the Kilimanjaro programme had a profound impact on each of them. The Kilimanjaro programme was developed to be an innovative, experiential MBA elective for women. It was designed to bring female business leaders to learn to work with groups of high achieving women. This case describes the journey up Mount Kilimanjaro of four ambitious women - women of different ages, and from diverse cultural backgrounds and life situations, who have learnt that it is possible to work well in a highly risky and demanding environment with other women. Will they reach the top?
