Transformational: My Nanyang Fellows MBA Journey If I were to describe my Nanyang Fellows MBA experience in one word, it would be transformational. As part of the first part-time cohort, serving as Class Representative for two years, and earning a spot on the Dean’s List, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The experience was not without its sacrifices. I often had to take leave to attend day classes and leave work early for evening sessions. Balancing studies, career, and personal life meant giving up precious time with my family. These challenges, however, taught me resilience, time management, and the value of prioritizing long-term goals. Being a Nanyang Fellow symbolizes a commitment to leadership, innovation, and societal progress. This designation empowers me to drive change, influence public policies, and lead with purpose. Two pivotal moments in the program were the immersive overseas modules at UC Berkeley and Tsinghua University, where I gained invaluable insights by blending Western innovation with Eastern precision. Above all, the program’s emphasis on community was profound. Collaborating with two diverse cohorts and networking with alumni and global peers highlighted the power of shared growth and lifelong connections. To those considering this journey: Don’t procrastinate. Procrastination is the killer of dreams. Take the leap—it will transform not only your career but also your perspective on leadership and impact.

I’d be happy to share my experiences and insights to help you embark on your transformational journey. #LeadershipJourney #NanyangFellowsMBA #TransformationalLearning #DeanListAchievement #GlobalLeadership #Networking #Innovation #LifelongLearning #DigitalTransformation #Resilience #WorkLifeBalance #MBAJourney Nanyang Technological University Singapore Nanyang Business School

In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly juggling demanding schedules, leading global teams, or adapting to rapidly changing markets... So, the pressure to keep learning and growing as a #leader can often feel overwhelming to most of us. I personally find it challenging in somehow to keep up with everything, especially when it comes to #ContinuousLearning… such topical subject in today’s reality!

Among my MBA peers at Asian Institute of Management and The University of Western Australia Global MBA Program Batch 4, gathered around coffee cups, anticipation filled the air as we embarked on a transformative journey. As we exchanged introductions and aspirations, the question emerged: "What motivates your pursuit of an MBA?" For me, the answer transcended mere career advancement. While undoubtedly a strategic move to align with my professional goals, the decision held a deeper purpose. My years of managing a business and growing startups from left to rihgt had imparted invaluable lessons, yet I yearned to augment this practical knowledge with the structured learning offered by an MBA. And then, there was the incident with a former client who, upon learning I lacked an MBA, seemed almost disappointed. That moment underscored the importance of credentials in today's competitive landscape, pushing me further toward this academic pursuit. Amidst our dialogue, one classmate's response resonated profoundly. Despite his impressive career trajectory (which for me by the way, I don't think he needs an MBA), he expressed an insatiable thirst for knowledge: "I can't stop learning. My plan after I retire is to teach and pass on the learning." His commitment to lifelong learning and the desire to impart wisdom left an indelible mark on me. In that moment, I realized that the pursuit of knowledge extends far beyond personal ambition. It is a noble endeavor—one that transcends individual gain and enriches the collective intellect. The act of sharing wisdom, long after one's own journey has ended, epitomizes true leadership. As I reflect on that encounter, I'm reminded of the profound impact we can have on others simply by embracing a mindset of continuous learning. Each lesson learned is a gift, a form of light that illuminates the path for those who follow. It's a responsibility we owe to ourselves and to future generations—to pass on not just knowledge, but the passion for learning that fuels innovation and progress. I am so excited about our MBA. I know that together we can keep on writing stories of inspiration, empowerment, and lifelong learning. #MBAJourney #ContinuousLearning #PayItForward #AIM #UWA

What made me choose INSEAD for my MBA ❓❓ When I decided to pursue an MBA, I knew I wanted an experience that would challenge me both personally and professionally. After careful consideration, I chose INSEAD, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Here's why 👇👇 ✅ Truly Global Experience: Having worked across India, and the Middle East, I craved a program that matched my international outlook. INSEAD's diverse student body and campuses in France and Singapore offered exactly that. The chance to study alongside peers from over 90 countries was irresistible. ✅ Intense, Accelerated Program: As someone who thrives in fast-paced environments (hello, consulting life!), INSEAD's one-year program appealed to me. It's challenging, but it minimizes opportunity cost and gets you back into the workforce quickly. ✅ Strong Consulting Focus: Given my interest in strategy consulting, I wanted a program with strong ties to the consulting industry. INSEAD's reputation as a consulting powerhouse was a major draw. ✅ Alumni Network: The strength and global reach of INSEAD's alumni network is unparalleled. As someone who values building meaningful professional relationships, this was a crucial factor. 📍Factors to Consider in Your MBA Decision: ~ Career Goals: How does the program align with your post-MBA plans? ~ Culture Fit: Visit campuses if possible. Get a feel for the student body and teaching style. ~ Location: Consider where you want to work post-MBA. Some schools have stronger regional ties. ~ Program Length: Weigh the pros and cons of one-year vs. two-year programs. ~ Financial Investment: Look beyond tuition. Consider living costs and potential scholarship opportunities. Remember, the "best" MBA program is the one that's best for YOU.  Your priorities and goals should guide your decision.

MBA Crisis Management Case Study: Professional Certification or degrees are having more support and welcome by companies with global sense. MBA is not practical now - #dannyharemark My career transition depended heavily on the people I met and the support they offered - Laura Glaab Declining Relevance and Practical Application One of the main criticisms of MBA programs is the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed in the business world: Many MBA programs are seen as focusing too much on theoretical concepts rather than practical application of knowledge There is often a disconnect between what is taught in business schools and what industries actually need from graduates Critics argue that MBA programs lag behind in providing specialized knowledge for rapidly evolving sectors like technology and digital marketing. ***** In response to many challenges, many business schools are adapting their programs to offer more flexibility, specialization, and practical experience. However, the overall perception of the MBA degree has shifted, and it no longer holds the same level of prestige or guarantee of career success that it once did.
