I found it fascinating. The course provided us with a real grasp of the core principles taught on an MBA and how to apply them. It has given me a completely new way of looking at our business and what the drivers of strategies are. It has also helped me understand our clients’ businesses so that I can ask them more intelligent questions. I am very much in favour of the course being rolled out more widely within our firm

Steve Tait - Founder and MD - SME

Great to have a framework to pin our efforts to - we are half-way through a strategic service portfolio review and it provides a reminder to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The Strategy Canvas is something that I want to look at introducing within our organisation to link our market assessment to strategy. Nice and simple way of presenting the information. I am also particularly interested in developing our sweet spot of opportunity.

Jim Sarossi - Lead Designer - NASDAQ Listed Company

All of it was relevant and helped me to understand what goes on behind the strategy of our group and how we can be a more profitable company. It helps to contextualise those changes in the market that should influence our strategy. It has also got us thinking about how we can better organise the various aspects of our business so that they are aligned to the overall strategy of the business.

Angela Craven - Marketing Director - SME

The course is very thought provoking and absorbing. It strikes the perfect balance between theory and practical examples. The worksheets are also an incredibly useful resource that have helped us to analyse not only our own business but also the businesses of our clients. This has been particularly useful in helping us develop more bespoke marketing materials which are finely tuned to our target clients’ businesses.

Juliana Busasi, Founder and Executive Director, Tanzania Health and Medical Education Foundation (TAHMEF), Tanzania

The Most memorable moment about the course for me was the ‘Eureka moment’ I had by the end of the first lesson. The organisation I work with was in a stagnant place and our effort to evolve we're not yielding the results that we hoped for especially from the effect that the pandemic came with, given that more than 70% of our programs involved physical meetings. The Modern Porter's 5 Forces enlightened to me all our weak points and as a leader I was glad to finally see the origin of our problem. Attendance in the mini-MBA Course has been a pivotal moment to me as a leader because it has equipped me with the essentials skills needed to structure our operations so as to maximize impact and evolve in alignment to the external factors.

Partner, Top 10 Law Firm

I really enjoyed the course. It was a completely new way (for me) of looking at the strategies behind business and what the drivers of strategies are. It was useful in terms of background knowledge, being more able to understand what is driving clients and understanding clients’ businesses.

Victoria Coombs, Gamesys

I found the course pitched exactly right – I have some business knowledge gained through osmosis but knowing the theory will really benefit me.

Dr Rhiannon David. MPS Scientific Lead. CPSS AstraZeneca

Really well structured, informative, and engaging. A lot of information is provided but in a way that is easy to follow and remember. I really enjoyed it and I think the learnings I have gained will be really impactful in my role and strategy development going forward. Thanks.

Alejandro Daly - National Coordinator for El Derecho a No Obedecer

The programme activated some major changes in my organisation… including how we work with our suppliers and I even started an organisational restructuring of our team

Justin Hubble, General Counsel, Property Partner

Probably the best seminar I've attended in a very long time.

Marlise Benz, Director Study Management, AstraZeneca

Great quick and easy to understand introduction to business processes and analyses. Fantastic slides and great pace to the course.

Michael Althrope - Senior Engineer - FTSE 100 Company

Really stimulating and motivating. It has encouraged me to ask more relevant questions and think more about the industry that I work in. I now have a much better understanding of strategic business analysis and how to be more solution focused. The worksheets have also helped me to think about why things are done in a certain way, how they fit within the bigger picture, how they can be done differently.

Amisa Patel, Solicitor, Santander

I really did enjoy the course. It was an informative (but not too detailed!) insightful course pitched at the perfect level for me as I had very little understanding of what the MBA was about before this today. Rupert was also an excellent presenter who made it all extremely easy to understand.

Mazbahul Islam, Co-Founder of Safewheel

I believe what I have learned throughout this programme is something very important for my co-founders to understand as well to thrive in doing what we are doing.

Dr. Kelly (Whitley) Padilla, BS, PharmDScientist Director, Global Clinical Development, AstraZeneca

Mini MBA indeed. I felt I really have a good foundation to get started in using the principals. It also removed some of the anxiety around understanding and capability to discuss business aspects (as a scientist).

Yoshiko Minagawa – Supply Chain Manager – AstraZeneca

I enjoyed this mini-MBA course. I was curious about what was taught in the MBA courses and through this course, I was able to get a glimpse and some concrete business skills.

Head of Learning and Development, Leading US Law Firm

The feedback and continued attendance at the workshops was testimony of the value the senior associates saw in his training. Everyone found the sessions informative and useful.

David Henry, Senior Youth Coordinator at St Lucia’s Sacred Sports Foundation

I would never imagine that I could bring forward a suggestion that could be concurred with, and expanded upon, from someone from Singapore or Japan. The discussions were very interactive and fruitful. My public speaking abilities, communication and listening skills, as well as organisational knowledge increased tremendously.

Kate Stevenson, Supply Chain Apprentice, AstraZeneca

Not only did this programme help me with my academic studies but it highlighted the ways in which I can best tackle my leadership perspective in the G7 Youth Summit this year.

Dr. Emmanuel Egbroko Executive Director, Inocul8 (Nigeria)

Using the strategies you talked about I was able to secure a grant funding of about $10k for my organization to invest in key assets.

Jill Meaken - Head of Sales - FTSE 250 Company

This course has broadened our strategic thinking. We’re using the models to think about our market position relative to our competitors. It has also helped us to discover ways of integrating the various departments in the business so that they can work together more closely and exploit each other’s strengths.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority Assessor's Report

This is a very detailed course dealing with competitive strategy and business development. The information should help law firms understand how big business works, thinks and plans development of their business.

Martin Drexler - Lead Engineer

A real eye opener that has helped us to identify what the key assets within our business are and how we can use them to develop a competitive advantage. On a personal level it has helped me to adapt my communication within the workplace so that I can speak to our board using terminology that they are familiar with and get a better understanding of how my current project fits into the overall strategy.
