What participants are saying

Each module of the programme brings new knowledge and insights. Now I know how to properly read financial statements and analyse the status of my suppliers and clients. Also, the opportunity to discuss the learnings with the other participants and how they would apply the insights into their contexts was really valuable for me. The exchange of experiences showed me how the problems I face on a daily basis are similar to the problems in totally different businesses. I would recommend the programme for both executives and young professionals. The opportunity to network and get perspectives from the other participants as well as learn from each other is a great joy.

The programme offered real-time perspectives and tools on how to navigate during and post these unprecedented times of Covid-19. A wider contextual reflection and group work with other students offered valuable external perspectives during every module. Having digital and marketing lenses on my day-to-day work, I really liked the comprehensive and holistic approach of the programme, covering the core functions and perspective of a modern business. During every module, I was able to draw concrete ideas and tools to apply to my daily work – on both operational and strategic level. I highly recommend MBA Highlights to everyone who wishes to challenge her/his thinking, get inspired by excellent teachers and expand ones toolbox with modern solutions.

I got new tools to develop our companys creative process as well as tools to understand customers and employees needs in a better way. Also, self-management and the methods of positive psychology gave me many practical improvement tools. I can definitely recommend the programme for every business leader who wants to improve her/his skills in modern business management and leadership.
