Laurent Groteclaes shares his MBA experience from his current program at the Warwick Business School.
"I had very strict criteria for choosing a business school. It had to be triple accredited with a high international ranking; it must have a mature and diverse multicultural and multi-organisational cohort, and the content should be of high quality with good teaching ratios, but at a reasonable price. The Warwick MBA is strengthening my leadership capabilities through extending my strategic and creative thinking. My background is mainly finance focused, but WBS is teaching me to talk to marketeers, operations managers, entrepreneurs, and strategists using their language, terminology, and concepts, and is helping me understand their concerns.
The week-long modules are a mixture of theory, tools, concepts, and practical exercises. They allow me to disconnect totally from professional life, to concentrate on my studies, and to absorb the teaching fully. Lecturers are high calibre; it's exciting to have passionate teachers with a mixture of industry and academic background. Assignments are tough, requiring academic research, speed reading, creativity, and the ability to tell 'the story' within the word limit. Marks are also given for group work ensuring you learn to understand and manage group dynamics. My intake is made-up of engineers, accountants, auditors, project managers, consultants, operations managers, IT-specialists, chemists, lawyers, physicians, risk officers, CEO's, and sales and account managers. There's plenty of experience to be shared."
