"The Executive MBA has represented a very good solution for the development of our promising talents, complementary to people development programs available internally. Equally important, it offers also the opportunity to interact with talents from different countries and different perspectives, with different expertise. I think that the experience has proven to be a stimulating learning environment, supported by highly referenced professors (London Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, etc.) and a participative learning approach. Shell has participated in all sessions with 8 people coming from different business horizons (Commercial, Retailing, IT, Finance, etc.). The outcome is rewarding: broadening knowledge, gaining in self confidence, improving leadership and management style, efficient networking, etc.: The positive impact on our participating people and business is clear. Many of participants got, successfully, larger and/or higher professional exposure. The success behind our participation in the Executive MBA encouraged me to work with MSB management and professors to develop a fit-for-purpose solution to my company: a Leadership and Team-Building exercise involving managers from various levels. I wish this experience will continue with the same ambition of quality and diversity. We need it as our business future is mainly based on the quality of our talents."
