How did you get a world rank? Over the past few months, I have received the same question from many ACCA aspirants seeking advice on how to excel in the Strategic Business Leadership exam. To benefit the wider community, I've put together this post, offering insights and tips that I hope will be instrumental in helping aspirants achieve their goals and pass the exam with confidence. 1. The paper is primarily common sense based. Hence, I would suggest not spending a lot of time on study text. Rather use it only when you lack understanding in certain concepts. 2. You don’t really need to enroll for classes for this subject. However, some may find it much more effective to prepare in a structured manner under a teacher’s guidance. Hence, it depends upon your own capabilities and preferences. 3. Attempt 100%. Write crisp, to the point sentences. Longer answers don’t fetch extra marks. 4. Time yourself during preparation. Giving mocks will help in this. Know your time allocation for each type of question. 5. Invest time in understanding how to answer specific types of questions. Be well versed with the variety of answer formats and marks allocation for each valid point made. 6. Focus on the pre-seen material. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe doing a deep analysis of the pre-seen and exploring permutations of likely questions will help develop the strategic thinking required with respect to the given industry and company information. 7. Give your exam with confidence and confidence comes only through consistent practice. Get into it, put in the time and ultimately reap the benefits. From personal experience, I know that a little guidance can go a long way in helping to succeed in professional exams. So, please feel free to share this post with others who may find it helpful. If you have any additional questions or need further clarification on any points, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments section - I'm happy to support you in your exam journey!

Alliances with Competitors Competition is not necessarily against us. It pushes us to be better but also can complement our business. Just looking at competition from another angle can bring the conclusion that it benefits more than it harms our business, it’s just about how we perceive it and handle it. Great example is alliance of three leading business schools #LSE, #HEC and #NYUStern and creation of one of the best, for me certainly THE BEST #TRIUMGlobalExecutiveMBA.

🌟 Throwback to My Secondary School Days: A Lesson in Trust and Character 🌟 While going through my files today, I came across this award I received back in secondary school: "Well-Behaved Student (Male)" during Corporate Day. It brought back fond memories and an important life lesson that shaped who I am today. I vividly remember my dad once saying: "Until you graduated from university, I never visited you, nor did your mother know where you stayed." This wasn’t due to negligence; it was a testament to the trust and confidence my parents had in me. They believed in my ability to thrive independently and consistently make the right decisions, even without their physical presence or supervision. Here are some takeaways I’d like to share: ✨ Trust is earned through integrity and consistency. ✨ Confidence comes from demonstrating responsibility. ✨ Discipline and character lay the foundation for self-reliance. To anyone reading this, remember: 💡 When you show others you are reliable, they’ll trust you to accomplish great things—even from afar. This award was just a small token back then, but today it reminds me of the power of trust, self-discipline, and the importance of staying true to one’s values. Let’s keep pushing ourselves to be the kind of people others can believe in! #Leadership #Inspiration #Character #Throwback

To my friends with MBAs: earmuffs please. I used to be insecure about not having an MBA – it felt like a missing credential. But after getting under the hood of the umpteenth organization, I realized a few things: 1. Yes, that’s how you spell umpteenth. 2. They’re all made up of people. 3. The trick is to maximize their talent, then laser focus it on your goal. 4. That gets harder as you get bigger. 5. So you need a mix of strategy, plans, processes, systems, etc. 6. But it can’t be just any mix, it has to be the right one for you. 7. And that’s an art, not a science. 20+ years experience taught me what does/ doesn’t work. And to focus less on the intricacies of each "best practice" out there. (With all due respect to management theory and consulting frameworks –they’re mostly variations of the same thing.) What really matters is that each structure you implement makes your organization more coherent, not less. And unfortunately the people get so enamored by their problems, that they miss the incoherence created by their solutions. Do I still wish I had an MBA? Sure. But am I still insecure? Negative.

🆕 HOCK Blog! We’ve been asked a number of times to discuss the differences between various levels of post-graduate education and professional certifications. In this ongoing series of articles, we take a look at these various options to compare and contrast how each, based on your personal career path and professional goals, would help you achieve your vision. We will start by comparing CMA US certification with an MBA (Masters in Business Administration). Both of these designations offer advanced study in managerial competencies and high-level business strategy. However, there are some notable differences between the two.
