1. Full Circle

    Dear readers, It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post – but on my part I have written quite a bit since the last post – from reports to journals to speeches… It’s my last few weeks though and all those are slowing down. I do want to comment on how it feels to be at the “end” of the MBA journey.

  2. Last Tango in Singapore

    I’ve always felt that the vibe at INSEAD is like a rapidly growing, brilliant startup. That it’s one year, that it’s unattached to a larger university, that there are three campuses and expanding into America, that the operations feel very lean. Innovation is in our core, and it’s no small coincidence that the founder of our school is also the founder of venture capitalism. The energy is frenetic, everyone is flush with optimism, and seemingly every day is a scramble.

  3. Learning how to make positive impact - the INSEAD way!

    Did you know that as a generation we are creating the highest level of carbon footprint on our planet than any generation before? With today’s great comfort and luxuries come high levels of global emissions. The burning of coal, natural gas and oil for electricity and heat is the largest single source of global greenhouse gas emissions at 25% of all global emissions. Emissions from industry come in at 21%.[1] Surely, as global citizens, we all notice the impact of depleting our world’s resources and slowly we are changing our ways.

  7. Mattering

    This morning when starting my computer, the desktop paper read, “Because people matter”. It made me think who matters to me? And, who do I matter to? I thought about how it has become important to me to matter in my adult life. Perhaps it was because I was bullied as a child and teen during the school years? But what does – to matter – actually mean? matter verb [ I ] – To be of importance

  8. The Most Valuable Thing I Learned At INSEAD Business School

    In one word, it is definitely COURAGE. It’s not really something you learn in a classroom, but rather acquire during the life-transforming year at INSEAD. To me, COURAGE translates into the ability to challenge conventions, try new things and most importantly pursue what you really love, rather than what the society or family expects from you. There is something special in all the peers at INSEAD, who are so different, yet so much alike.

  9. The Power of Colour

    Diversity, whether cultural, geographic or inter-generational is a fluid concept. For some people it remains a cost, for others, it is what makes life truly vibrant. Being African is unique in the misconceptions and to some degree mystery that a lot of people attach to our continent, its people and almost always the history that has shaped the present but does not define the future. Consequently, the 2018 INSEAD Africa Week provided an opportunity to drive awareness where possible and to educate our community of fellow INSEADers about who we are and where we come from.
