This presentation outlines the use of an active feedback approach to increase the impact of an experiential teaching opportunity. The teaching was a consultancy project for MBA students which required students to engage with real clients on real challenges and provide insights, recommendations and new perspectives. This activity was designed to enhance the initial client meeting.

This resource is a simple method for applying the Active Feedback approach using an object as a dissimilar resource comparison. In this case, a tangerine. Active Feedback uses the DO, COMPARE, (make) EXPLICIT approach to help students build their own inner feedback. Students are given a piece of fruit, or asked to imagine one, and then this is used to address a concept. In this example, it is the Business Model Canvas, but it could be used in a variety of topics where students need to understand depth, layers etc. Feedback from students is that this is a fun exercise that makes the key components of the topic memorable.
