Honestly, the value of my MBA curriculum didn't really kick in until I had a P&L and a 100+ org. And even there, it's less a specific set of skills, and more how the case study method gives you indirect experience and context which would be prohibitively painful to learn the hard way.
When your team or scope grows to very large (1000+ person) sizes, the investment of two years of my time to avoid a single major blunder or focus a bit more efficiently becomes worth every minute invested. There's just so much leverage to fuck up so badly and impact so many people.
