### Executive MBA London: “You notice the diversity as soon as you walk into class” | LBS
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wq-Pr0WtVA

Idioma: en

the diversity is very clear it's
something you notice as soon as you walk
into class you'll notice the the
diversity on the basis that you've got
so many people traveling from so many
parts of the world we've got in our
class alone people flying in from Sao
Paulo
every two weeks we've got people from
Bahrain people from Kuwait I fortunately
live in London but I think I'm actually
the minority I think that's what
attracted me to the class itself it was
that diversity of culture and background
that you can see present within any
classroom participation not only is
their experience in the industry but
from their background in how they were
raised and in the industries that they
work in in those locations which is
really attractive so the program
structure itself is I think at the
forefront not only are we reading case
studies on a weekly basis we're also
able to listen in and add value inside
the class with each other so in a case
scenario we had last week where we were
talking about the fast food market we
had individuals that were had experience
on the consulting side but we also had
people that had started up their own
businesses it was that continual
exchange of information back and forth
within the classroom that made it
engaging it's always encouraging to hear
Faculty's point of view but the real
value from me
choosing OBS is having that experience
and the know-how and listening to my own
peers there's a real emphasis for
faculty and students to mix we do a lot
of social events there is no class
divided between faculty and students
which is what I find encouraging it
really does feel like a family

### Sejal's EMBA journey | London Business School
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcaW0pu9ZZQ

Idioma: en

the obvious experience has definitely
transformed me I'm a much much better
judge of character for one I'm much less
naive I'm much more confident as a
person and from a professional
standpoint I think the organizational
behavior and leadership classes that
they run here by faculty have been
exceptional and it's really set me up
very well to be able to present to board
level and and just be very confident all
around as a leader and I think the
learnings you get in the classroom it
really opens your horizons and opens
your mindset to opportunities and areas
that you might not necessarily have
explored thought about before one of the
key highlights for me has been the
opportunity to spend time in different
countries you know spending time in Abu
Dhabi and networking with my colleagues
in Abu Dhabi and having a very local
experience about how businesses operate
there I think also the opportunity to be
able to travel around the world with my
friends and colleagues in class
something that's made the world of
difference I feel like I have contacts
in every major city around the world
which is not something I had before I
came to London Business School

### Executive MBA London - Programme Experience | London Business School

Idioma: en

[Music]
the Executive MBA was of particular
interest to me for the sheer fact that I
was at a crossroad in my life the
network that lbs was going to keep me
exposure to as well as honing in on some
of the subjects that I was going to get
experienced within I knew that was the
next step of my life OBS is a brand that
everyone knows an institution in the
zone right the Executive MBA is the
part-time program and it lasts 20 months
in the first year you have the business
foundation so you have the core classes
and then the second year is the year
where you're going to have a bit more
flexibility because you are going to
have the electives on top of the day
during the first year there are a lot of
extracurricular activities that are
being provided by the school to help us
in the transformation journey and these
are things like coaching mentoring the
Ember London community I'd say is
extremely diverse I've been able to
engage with people from India Middle
East the US across Europe the surprising
learning comes from your colleagues so
you get many opinions coming from
various backgrounds various industries
and various functions the big highlight
for me at London Business School or is
the extensive network of people that
I've now met there are a number of times
when I've had to give people calls at
late nights to finish a project and you
see that prioritization given to you I
think the good thing with LBS is in
terms of elective programs compared to
other executive programs I could really
focus on entrepreneurship Joshy and
organizational design the faculty is
very strong
they all have extensive history but it's
their delivery more than anything else
in terms of activities outside the class
I personally feel it's important to do
it I was involved in Africa Club and
women in business luxury goods the
Africa Club did an annual conference
that which was really interesting for me
it allowed me to get exposure into
what's happening in Africa and actually
getting me to think what are the
opportunities out there the Executive
MBA gives you the resilience that you
need to act in today's challenging
environment what it has helped me to do
in terms of personal development is feel
more comfortable in myself understand my
strengths understand where I can add to
a business it forced me to delegate and
prioritize it's given me the confidence
and the ability to stand in any
situation and be able to build new ideas
work in partnership with others I've
been given a lot of frameworks that I
can use they utilize very easily I can
apply those not just in my current role
but my future aspirations is that in my
own business what I'm learning on a
Friday and Saturday is being applied and
implemented on a Monday there's no
better transition from what I'm learning
into the workforce within these three
days I'd like to think it's allowed me
to step away potentially from what I'm
doing today in the long term and being
ambitious
I'd like to feed that curiosity that's
something that London Business School
will allow me to do

we've made a significant contribution to
the region so many alumni from 10 years
ago just really makes you see how far
the school has come I came in 2008 so I
was one of the original pioneers if you
will or a second year it helped instill
a confidence in me and helped me drive
value for my businesses really Dubai is
the key hub for the Middle East we're
looking for a location which can bring
together people from many different
nations nations that are not so easily
accessible from our London campus and Bs
chose Dubai in 2007 because Dubai was
one of the most prospective markets
there's so much opportunity here if you
can dream it you can conceive it you can
talk to people about it and you're open
and enthusiastic we will give you a shot
the people who come to our Executive MBA
programs are not just learning textbook
material from years ago but they're
learning about cutting-edge research
techniques developed here at the school
it was extremely rewarding to be able to
apply what I learned in school directly
and immediately at the workplace you can
come to class once a month the rest of
the month you can go back to work we
have multiple successes from our program
itself we have students who help each
other established businesses become
cofounders of entrepreneurships we have
students have become CEOs of
conglomerates in Dubai and actually send
us sponsored students to the program
every semester the opportunity to be
surrounded by high-caliber individuals
for very diverse backgrounds not only
in terms of nationality and culture but
also in terms of religion in terms of
industries it is really enriching we
have influence throughout the Middle
East region one of the main channels for
that influence is our alumni they come
to the Dubai campus throughout the
different Middle East nations we also
have alumna from our London campus who
go back to the Middle East region as
well for the past three years I've been
the president of the Gulf Association

achievements that we've been able to
show in terms of raising the number of
members from about 750 in 2013 to well
over a thousand 600 lbs is also known

leadership program to the Kuwait
Petroleum Company

global business consortium this is the
world's longest-running executive
education consortium programme and DP
world of Dubai joined the consortium in
2015 these are just a handful of the
many partnerships we have with leading
organizations in the Middle East and one
of the great success stories of the
Dubai campus has been the global
business assignments that we operate in
Abu Dhabi and Dubai this gives an
opportunity for our London students to
appreciate everything that the region
has to offer we hope to expand in
offering a wider range of electives for
our london-based students as well as I
do bio-based students this is not the
end of ten years it's the start of the
next ten years

### Executive MBA and EMBA-Global l Global Business Assignment in Dubai
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roxsvi6p_rM

Idioma: en

the DBA will have an employment in my
career in the sense that now I see Dubai
as a very attractive destination and I
want to learn more about the lifestyle
in Dubai
I think the DBA experience has given me
another possible destination in my
career I would definitely recommend this
experience to everyone it's an
opportunity that LBS gives us to meet
with important people here in Dubai is
also an opportunity to travel and to
network together with your classmates
and also it's an opportunity to have a
lot of fun the impact that students make
through the global business assignment
is second to none it is the one chance
for students to experience not only a
different culture but to learn how
business is done in a different City
Dubai is such a dynamic and modern city
and they have the chance to truly
witness something that is
once-in-a-lifetime I would definitely
recommend other companies to take part
in the global business assignment it is
a great chance for business leaders to
give back to the community not only in
terms of sharing their experiences and
knowledge with the students but also
associating with some of the best
academic minds in the world London
Business School is a world-class
business school I see a massive value to
students today in an environment where
they they need to compete for jobs and
as global as you can be as
multi-discipline as you can be many
companies I could think of can benefit
from that definitely small businesses
medium businesses those that maybe are
restricted by manpower or certain
experience can definitely leaps and
bounds improve their level of thinking
strategic analytics by bringing on a
body of students that have the tools to
think in a different way and it's a
fantastic way to get exposure to
multiple disciplines what I'm taking
away from this experience is really an
appreciation for how a country with such
a rich cultural heritage has risen to
become a global innovation hub thank the
benefits of completing a gba really
allows you to take the concepts learned
in the classroom and see
was done in on a day-to-day basis by
businesses it really provides context
for what you're learning in the
classroom the networking opportunity is
dead the GBA provided have really been
phenomenal an opportunity to to meet
classmates from both the London Dubai
streams have make new friends as it has
been a lot of fun with London Business
School having a campus here in Dubai
really opens up a rich alumni base to
reach out to there have been many
highlights of the global business
assignment starting from meeting the
different end of students meeting the
speakers from jamero a group Ferrari was
so much fun I specifically selected
Dubai and we have had the opportunity to
serve the companies that we get to visit
you get the academic part but then you
put it to practice through the GB I feel
that I have actually experienced the
business life of Dubai

### Global Business Assignment – Cape Town | London Business School Executive MBA
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpssbzOqNZg

Idioma: en

the Cape Town I a really gave me great
practical insight into an emerging
market like South Africa with both its
opportunities and it challenges I like
the Cape Town I thought it was very
rewarding personally it was a good mix
between having some social opportunities
and having some opportunities for
learning the game world amazing today
was the second day and we went out at
the townships and we've met the real
people you split within the teams and
covered as many jobs as possible it was
inspiring it was wonderful heard their
stories their hardships for me
personally I really like to Cape Town
experience because I got to meet people
from all the different streams on our
project team we had five different
nationalities from three different
classes you work together you socialize
together in a pretty tight environment
away from home obviously we had a lot of
work to do but we had a lot of fun and
there was plenty of time to bond outside
of the project
I had the opportunity to go to a
world-class company i was at coca-cola
and we met everybody from c-suite from
the CEO on down it was pretty
interesting and I learned a lot about
the consulting side of things and I
learned a lot about how a real world
company works and they were world-class
that was a lot of fun
for me the most positive outcome of the
cape town international assignment was
that the recommendations that we
provided to my players a company which
represents the commercial rights of the
south african rugby players were
actually acted on and implemented which
is very satisfying to hear so it gave me
serve an insight into that kind of a
project mentality how you can walk into
a company without really knowing much
about them and just learn on day one how
company folks how they work and
potentially ways they can improve
the Cape Town I is low organized its
hands on your make an immediate impact
and it's not everywhere that you get to
bump into Sean Penn or she'll East
around in your hotel you know I worked
with a world-class company and we did
our debrief with the company in a
vineyard on sunny day in South Africa so
we love the opportunity to see the
country I found it really rewarding

### Executive MBA Dubai - Programme Experience | London Business School
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwV0fpk-uRY

Idioma: en

one of the reasons i decided to go for
my executive mba was because i was
looking for a professional reboot i was
looking for a way to
challenge myself professionally to look
at how my skills compare
with
the best in the industry as well as
upgrade the skills i have and to be
exposed to new things
i got my undergrad degree in the
university of georgia in the u.s and i
wanted to have a more global perspective
i wasn't going to give up working to be
a full-time mba student it's just not in
my dna it was great that i could
actually go to work three weeks a month
and then take a week off and focus on
bettering myself what's great about this
program is that you can make it as
flexible and as global as you'd like it
to be i did most of my electives in
london and i also did an international
assignment in india it was extremely
rewarding to be able to apply what i
learned in school
directly and immediately at the
workplace my colleagues saw and
benefited from the new ideas
perspectives and knowledge that i
brought
the fact that it is that same faculty
that teaches in dubai as it does in
london is is what makes this program
really really attractive having been
through the program i've i have a deep
understanding for the
the rigor it is a very very serious
program that produces high quality
graduates really inspiring lecturers
great at
classes
are well managed with a lot of
participation and a great deal of
application we like to think that the
high quality of our executive mba
graduates at our dubai campus is partly
due to our teaching and the high quality
instruction that we provide at the
london business school
but i think that another major factor is
the high quality of the student body the
fact that they're able to interact with
so many other leaders in the region is
one of the things that pushes them on to
greater success in future business
endeavors having a truly global network
very few universities can claim that the
opportunity to interact with very highly
capable individuals from diverse
backgrounds and cultures is one of the
most exciting aspects of the program i
think it's an added value that's really
priceless
the bay is a great place and i'm sure
that people will tell you every day that
it is it's a melting pot of cultures it
blends east and west together in a
unique way it has all the amenities that
one can think of there's so much
opportunity here if you can dream it you
can conceive it you can talk to people
about it and you're open and
enthusiastic people give you a shot it's
a very diverse place it's very
international it's really booming and
there's a lot happening so there are
definitely opportunities in the business
world and i think that the lbs program
gives you a lot of frameworks and a lot
of angles and approaches that you can
see how you can capture those
opportunities london business school has
changed my perspective on the world it
helped instill confidence in me and
helped me drive value for my corporation
and then afterwards for my businesses i
believe i got exactly what i wanted from
the executive mba program and that it
helped fill certain knowledge gaps but
also gave me skills and allowed me to
build relationships that hopefully would
stay with me
my lifetime the person that i was when i
applied for that application is going to
be
a lot smarter a lot more experienced
with a really big network at my
fingertips

### Why I did the London Business School Executive MBA | London Business School
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYYT4BCL1DM

Idioma: en

I had two degrees in literature and I
was working at a charitable organization
in the arcs and I thought
want to move on to something bigger and
take on more responsibility whatever
industry that's in I'm going to need to
balance out those arts skills and with
some business skills and some of the
kind of I guess we would call them the
harder skills and I looked around and
thought about how I might facilitate
that so I had to this plan to go to
business school and and then I decided
going to business school in the US was
going to be somewhat less interesting
given that I already had a US law degree
and I wanted to sort of shall we say
jumpstart more international career so I
started to think about European business
schools and London Business School shot
up to the forefront I wanted to move
into general management from IT and I
recognized that I needed to pick up some
very strong finance knowledge and skills
and the finance programs that were part
of the the mbar were enabled me to work
as a finance director although I'm not
an accountant and then that experience
was able to let me into a general
management which I'm in now a lot of the
Executive MBA helps you to do the things
you do do well but to do them better and
and it helped me to really realize i
love the industry omen and i can use the
skills i'm picking up in the industry
i'm in and not try to you know change
entirely keep the things i love about my
career and my industry and what I'm good
at and just make them stronger

### Executive MBA.  How will it impact my career? | London Business School
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG2uTu9BNkg

Idioma: en

we went through a strategic review
whilst I was doing the Executive MBA and
we hired external consultants Deloitte
to do that and it was such a wonderful
experience because I got to be the
member of staff who who sort of
spearheaded the strategic review and
worked very closely with Deloitte
throughout the process and I learned so
much during that and it wasn't something
that I would have you know that would
have been given to me to do had I not
been doing the Executive MBA at the time
I think it just really helped give me
the confidence and the knowledge to take
on more responsibility and the knowledge
that if you don't know something you can
learn it and you can ask questions and
and London Business already gave me that
the course is between the core courses
and the elective courses that the part
of the M bar gives that breadth and
depth of knowledge that allow you to to
control an organization and to run
sensibly and effectively an organization
it allowed me to move from News
Corporation which is a great company but
into Walt Disney which again is another
great media company but into a role that
would I wanted to you know try to move
to and I found very challenging so I had
that that it opened those doors for me
and also because I was then able to move
from finance function into more general
management role the exact of MBA gave me
the credibility to actually move into
that area which is a necessary part of
my functional experience but because
I've been to London Business School or
because I've done have an Executive MBA
there was an appreciation from my
colleagues and also from senior
management but I could move in the
direction and help grow the business as
well for me to be able to walk into a
business and say well I'm a qualified
lawyer but I have a very very strong
commercial side I actually can read a
balance sheet you know I can negotiate
business deals not just legal agreements
you know I think this is quite an
advantage and in fact I saw that played
out you know over the last year as I was
looking for jobs

### Executive MBA: Return on investment | London Business School
URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOXgbwNeWy4

Idioma: en

it was a great return on investment I
mean I think again before I did the
course it was purely a calculation I'm
going to spend this much money on it I
was self-funding um I was very lucky to
be able to apply for the there's a
scholarship here um for women and I was
able to apply for that and and won that
so that paid for a part of my course
fees but I still had to think right when
I finish I'm going to have a loan for
this amount and do I think my salary is
going to go up enough to pay for that
and you know thankfully it has but even
when you finish it's almost like that's
insignificant you because you've gotten
so much more out of it just the
knowledge and the contacts and the
friends um I still go back to portal and
type in my question and find that
there's London business school students
who have tackled the same question or
can advise me here is a great expert to
go talk to about
marketing particularly for festivals or
you know somebody who's done something
similar so to have that resource that
you'll have for the rest of your life
not just for the for the time you're on
the course is so valuable I don't think
you can put an amount on it I've
undoubtedly had my investment back um
certainly you know in monetary terms I
think most of my class have have had
their their investment back but I think
you need to look at return of investment
in a broader way than simply just the
money CU you may well be an investment
banker who comes to the Ember program
and decides to set up your own business
so
financially you might not see your money
back within two years but you're doing
something you're passionate about you're
doing something that you you've
constructed your own business that's
undoubtedly a return in investment my
study group that I know and for the rest
of my stream I do know that uh people
found out had a return fairly
immediately some of them changed careers
um Chang functions change Industries
very quickly they found the Executive
MBA very useful to do that um both
giving them El the courage to make that
change but also allowing them to um to
to move across or move into a different
area I mean simply looking at the money
yes within 5 years i' I've been able to
to return my cash investment but there's
so much more than that I've been able to
have a return on

### Why should my employer support me on the EMBA? | London Business School

I think that really important cell on
this program is that you know at first
blush it looks like you're going to be
in the office less and that this is
going to be a negative for the company
you know well one out of ten days you're
not here what are we supposed to do I
think the big thing to convince your
company is that in fact for the two
years that you're in the program you're
far more engaged with business and in
particular with that business than
you've ever been before you spend your
weekends discussing it you spend your
weekends bouncing ideas about business
off of very senior very experienced
classmates this idea that you're not
there and that you're distracted is
actually very inaccurate and if anything
you're far more focused on business
during those two years and that it's
really in their best interest both in
the short term during your absence and
then of course in the long term once
you're back full time you know there's
nothing to be lost for a business to
support you in this

### Executive MBA learning experience.  What makes it distinct? | London Business School

Idioma: en

the plan is we're going to just jump
pretty much right into the SAS case talk
about that find out what you think about
it we'll talk about the role of pay and
incentives I want you to walk away
understanding that money is not a bad
thing because I'm sure you some of you
had that opinion but I don't want you to
walk away thinking that money is the
only way you can get people to do things
teaching the Executive MBA students is
really exciting they come in uh they're
very interested in the material they're
very engaged in the material because
it's what they live with every day in
their jobs in their day jobs these
people know so much and my job is to get
out of their way and let them talk about
the things they need to talk about
worked for a company that started off
private and very unique and had this
kind of aspect to it though I didn't
work for it in those Heyday and then I
came in when they were uh public and
also moving more and more towards about
to be bought by a larger Corporation and
these things couldn't last they you just
saw them drop off one by one I want them
to be thinking about what it's like when
they work what issues they're facing
what their day-to-day experience is and
so if I can replicate that in the class
I'm I'm very happy happy rewards can
discourage risk-taking alternatively I
think uh Jenny pointed out that there
are ways in which they can encourage bad
risk-taking um and sometimes they
undermine the true interests in the
organization Philip I would just like to
add one to the list and that is that
people get used to money incredibly
quickly so there there comes a point you
you have your pay rise you're very
flattered for for a few days or or weeks
but then you're used to it and you're
looking for the next step and I I think
that happens quite quickly yeah I know
there's a great line in the SAS case a
raise is only a raise for 30 days right
the professors are incredibly uh high
level so they know what they're talking
about and they're very good at guiding
the whole class but a great part of it
is really the involvement from the class
and and and and you really get different
views on things you know it's not just
the stock options or the money they
might be motivated by something else why
why do why why do we always generalize
that successful people are the ones that
are motivated by the the explicit
benefits like going let har respond yeah
I'm not going I'm not saying that they
are motivated ambitious you just make a
lot of money it's about ambitious about
what you want to do you get to hear
other people's view people that you
wouldn't uh in your daily life have
contact with you know if you stay in
your business in your line of business
um you wouldn't meet this kind of view
um being in that business so this really
helps bringing people together with with
a with a very different background I
think they would trade those stock
options and everything Silicon Valley
has to offer because they they go to
work they work 35 hours they have all
the resources they need to do a great
job they're motivated and they're
ambitious about doing a good job in what
they're doing they live near you know
friends and family in a nice area that's
what's important to them teaching the
Executive MBA students is a little bit
different than teaching the full-time
mbas they have a lot more experience
they are still working every day they
spend 5 days at their job and what they
bring to the classroom is a wealth of
experience he has a competitive
advantage in a sense that when the bad
times come if he really lives the values
he would probably U sacrifice some of
his profit to keep his team uh while
other public companies probably wouldn't
be able to do that during the first week
we had a course on leadership and that
really allowed us to focus on what were
our strengths and weaknesses as Future
Leaders and identify things to work on
and I actually implemented that
immediately after and discussed it with
my manager and even saw the effects a
couple of months later on so I I saw
that was actually really useful from a
personal point of view there's something
I can do with this class of people with
the executive mbas that I can't do with
the full-time mbas which is I can
instead of giving them a case to write
up at the end of the class I can ask
them to write up a case themselves based
on the experiences in their own
organizations whatever you learn here in
the first semester you will keep on
working within your in your business so
this this way of combining your daily
work with education I think this is the
perfect way of learning and that's it
see you tomorrow
