SOSI'S Play Book Training

The Four E's of Learning

We call the various levels of learning the principles of strategy the four E's:

Exploration, Education, Exercise, and Expertise.

  • Exploration shows the

    scope and vaue of these principles.

  • Education is learning

    these principles academically.

  • Exercise develops skills in using these principles automatically.

  • Expertise is practical experience in successfully applying these principles.
