My WBS story is one that will be forever fulfilling; it was full of goodness, headaches, hard work, and in the end strong corporate networks and friendships to last me a lifetime. Being a WBS alumnus will give me lifelong confidence, the knowledge that I gained gave me wings to fly and opened career doors…

How fabulous to be treated like my opinions mattered and to be exposed to fascinating classroom discussion with a whole bunch of really sharp people. That is how I remember my year studying the HDPM (as it was called then) in 1987. Loet Douwes-Dekker was an absolute maestro in challenging the views of the class…

The MAP programme shaped my thinking and provided me with a platform to challenge myself. The programme also enhanced my business acumen and leadership competencies including how to be a well-balanced individual.

One Memory that stands out, the Syndicate meetings before classes.
