2. The real cost of an Executive MBA

    I have been contacted by several people from my network about my experience at the INSEAD Executive MBA, especially regarding the tuition and the question of the company sponsorship. Although I acknowledge the importance of the financial factor, I would rather advise any subsequent candidates to think deeply about the non-financial costs as well. No more personal time (or almost)

  3. My top takeaways from INSEAD

    Since my rock climbing days at UCL when I first heard about a business school set in the wonderful forest of Fontainebleau, I have wanted to go to INSEAD. So six weeks ago was the culmination of a long-held dream when I graduated from INSEAD’s Global Executive MBA programme. For that, I first have to thank my lovely wife without whom I definitely would not have made it!

  4. 5 Reasons That Make INSEAD’s Global Executive MBA Outstanding!

    Here are my personal reflections aimed to help you in deciding if the Executive MBA experience at INSEAD is for you.   In December 2018 I graduated from INSEAD’s Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) programme.

    This is one of those posts where I reuse and share some of my reflections done for the module. Data, Models & Decisions (DMD) is one of the courses that the class did in module one of the TIEMBA programme. With the explosion of data and now the capability to store and process it, DMD is particularly important.

  7. Friends That Slogged Together, Stay Together

    This post is definitely late in the coming and after reading it, you will probably understand why. The readings are piling up, the assignments are never ending and the pressure is definitely mounting. Not trying to find excuses, but it is getting tougher and tougher to keep up the pace of posting on this blog. The intensity of the TIEMBA programme turned up a few notches right after module two.

  8. Global Executive MBA: Key Management Challenge in Brazil

    Bom dia! Tudo Bem? I was really excited to go on my first trip ever to Brazil, thanks to the Global Executive MBA and Professor Monteiro from INSEAD. We spent one full week in Sao Paulo, with a day trip to Rio de Janeiro in the middle. Unfortunately, I was not able to arrive earlier to spend more time in Rio de Janeiro, contrary to some of my colleagues who enjoyed a VIP tour of Rio led by one of our Brazilian classmates!

  9. It's Not All Chateaus and Skiing...

    It's March already! Us 19D's are now exactly three months into our INSEAD year! It feels like the time has flown by, and yet we have already experienced so much it feels impossible that everything has been condensed into one quarter. It has been hectic for sure. We are like those friends who say they are always busy...except we actually are. P1 and P2 are known to have a particularly rigorous academic schedule, so we can't say we weren't warned. Even so, the timetable feels packed.
