 One of the highlights of our program, when compared to traditional MBA programs, is that we offer our students the opportunity to work on real life projects with real life companies looking to enter a market overseas. What makes this MBA experience really different is that this is not a study trip. In actual fact we are working with New Zealand companies trying to help them enter an overseas market. So we work with real problems and helping those New Zealand companies build competences that other ways they would not have. I believe there are so many advantages to have such a hands-on learning approach. First of all students work in a team. Teamwork is becoming so important in today's global business world and will make them more employable. Another dimension about this team approach is that every project is unique and in a way students feel that they really learn and contribute to a New Zealand company. I think the entire journey of an executive MBA is to really step up and understand how you can grow in leadership, how you can get context for what you're going through, both in a learning journey but also as a professional. What students are using is the entrepreneur approach. What we try to do is to teach how to do business within conditions of uncertainty. And for us we've set ourselves a very ambitious schedule. Every moment of our time is taken up with the things that we want to do. There's a lot of taste testing and store observations and things like that. We just want to make sure that we can get everything done and then draw out the data to make some really awesome insight for them. I haven't done a lot of international business, it's not been my history. I'd really like to learn more about the difficulties, the challenges, but the course is also delivering on solutions. So teaching me how that I can use various techniques, frameworks to overcome the challenges that I certainly expect to see in China. Well just in trying that entrepreneurial approach, often we don't get that in a corporate environment so getting to test that and play with that I think is really useful. I'm in the Air Force so this is very different to my normal working life and that's one of the reasons why I chose to do this program is to get a bit of an exposure to sort of the more corporate and commercial world. I'm most excited to just get on the ground, learn some stuff, put some learning into practice and actually see how theory plays out in a practical environment in China. Businesses in New Zealand are very small and they need to have an agile tour that allows them to rapidly change their strategy. Having the sort of confidence where things are unpredictable and uncertain, that there is a bit of process now to work through that with some idea of success, the experience will be golden tackling any opportunity before and even recommending to other people want to tackle other markets. Well I hope that my next role will have an international business component to it so I think it will prepare me really well for I guess looking to set up businesses and other markets and we really I guess will follow an entrepreneurial process for this trip. Our students have a lot of management experience, they have middle to senior management positions but there's a benefit to have a project such as ours. They can explore a new industry, they understand to work in a team and also in a very different context. It gives me a bit of credibility in the business arena that I might not normally have. Hopefully I go for my career, there's opportunities where there are things that we do offshore and just being aware of how firstly other people do business in other countries and how you might take a product there and minimise risk in doing so. So these type of things are really hard to learn from a textbook, that's the reason why we give students the opportunity to work with a real company with real issues in real time. I think we've got huge value out of it, it's quite an intense process, they achieved amazing amount in really quite a short time frame. Our students are actually already very successful professionals and where it really adds value is they're being thrown into an ambiguous, uncertain environment and finding out quickly how to find their feet and add real value.
