Philippe Le Carreres, Director Innovation-Operational Excellence, is enrolled in the Executive MBA. He shared a half-day with the participants and lecturer in January before joining the program in April 2016.
Why did you decide to attend this session?
Taking part of such an adventure, that is an Executive MBA, is definitely a thoughfull choice because the investment is so important and the direction is determinative for the next steps of our career.
I took the occasion of this half-day to experience a total immersion and, thereby, definitely confirm my decision. Nothing is better than immersion!
How was this half-day?
After a pleasant welcome and good introduction established, we got into the main topic “Managerial Accounting” with a very didactic course in English, based on practical example, individual or group exercises.
At the end, I could ask questions to the students about the atmosphere of the courses, the rhythm or even the quality of the teaching. We ended with a very quick lunchtime nearby. Many thanks to the team for welcoming me.
What did you learn from that experience?
Many key facts during this day: the way students interact together and also with the teacher, attested that everyone is responsible, that the communication is open and that homework and group work take a real place. From this side, the concept to condense the course for a week is the winning one.
This timing also contributes to create a sense of community and a good atmosphere, which are key elements to build a strong network.
Do you think this helped you to take your decision?
My decision was over 90 % taken. This day allowed me to strengthen my choice. I warmly recommend it for those who are still hesitating in their education process.
