You will learn from faculty members who are recognized experts and researchers in psychology, economics, finance, management and marketing, as well seasoned practitioners and trusted advisers to corporate boards, industries and governments worldwide.

You also will discover how the diversity of your classmates — in education, career experience, professional and personal achievements, cultures and life interests — enriches your learning with new perspectives and insights.

Over the course of my career at IBM, I’ve advised Fortune 500 executives, government leaders and military generals. And I’ve observed firsthand that many of the world’s greatest leaders rely on collaboration to generate and exchange ideas, and to achieve something aspirational.

As someone who advises corporate stewards and government leaders, it’s important for me to understand the complexities of an ever-changing, interconnected world. So when I was considering business schools, I knew I needed a place where I could interact with professionals committed to better understanding the transforming world.

Kellogg is exactly that place. It fosters a culture built on collaboration. And it attracts engaged faculty and students who are driven by collective innovation.

Kellogg has helped me become a better version of myself. I came to the program experienced in writing speeches for notable politicians, government leaders and corporate titans, but have been challenged by faculty to com-municate messages with less words and more conviction. And even though I have helped Fortune 500 clients and government agencies achieve sustainable growth, the Kellogg community has pushed me to strive for higher standards of managerial excellence.

Here, business leaders learn how to influence culture, build businesses with entrepreneurial zeal and pioneer unchartered territories. Kellogg’s collabora-tive environment encourages us to build something bigger than ourselves.

“Kellogg’s collABorATive environMenT encourAges us To Build soMeThing Bigger ThAn ourselves.”

do More wiTh A Kellogg MBA.

I’ve been a neurosurgeon in private practice for more than 10 years. I’m not the only physician in Kellogg’s executive program — there are eight of us in my class. We come from different medical disciplines, but we all want to see health care improve.

I first noticed opportunities for business streamlining when I was a resident, and again when I joined a private practice group. In medicine, if you really want to encourage change, you have to understand the fundamentals beyond patient care and hospital protocol. My practice runs well, but I still have a lot to learn. I knew I could do more with a Kellogg MBA.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this program. My field is very self-specialized, so the emphasis on collaboration is very refreshing. The program requires a lot of work, but I’ve already learned so much from my classmates. I can always run ideas past them, and they come up with ideas and concepts I wouldn’t have considered. I do the same for them.

I can apply class material almost instantly to my practice. I’m currently talking with classmates about business ideas that combine technology and medicine. If I were to pursue something entrepreneurial, I’d pursue it with someone from Kellogg. We have the work ethic, skills and talents to make it happen.

ThinK More sTrATegicAlly. negoTiATe More effecTively.

I wanted to move my career ahead. I saw the many positive attributes of an MBA degree and how it would open doors in my organization. When a good friend told me about the Kellogg Executive MBA Program in Miami, it motivated me even more.

At Kellogg, I knew I’d be sharing a learning experience with a great group of professionals. On my first day of class, I learned that “diversity” takes on a whole new meaning at the school. No one has the same profession or home country. That alone is an incredible experience, as it helps you develop sensitivities that are necessary for working in a global environment.

The team environment works beautifully. It promotes open dialogue and helps team members develop strong relationships. My peers have told me that I’ve definitely become more assertive. It’s a great compliment coming from a group with such high standards.

At work, I’ve become a more strategic thinker. In meetings, I know how to deliver a stronger message. I’ve learned how to negotiate better with clients. I’m more effective when communicating with clients, meeting face-to-face with people and engaging in strategic negotiations — which are key to my success.

“i’ve discovered TreMendous vAlue in leArning how To see Things froM differenT Angles.”

Simply put, Haiti has an unsteady environment and faces enormous risks and challenges. Years of business experience have provided me with good instincts, but we all know good instincts alone don’t guarantee success. It became imperative for me to reinforce my practical learning with a more formal knowledge of analytical skills and a true understanding of the latest thinking and ideas.

I chose Kellogg because of the flexibility of the schedule, the convenient Miami campus and the appeal of the collaborative approach. The combination of outstanding professors and the ability to learn from fellow students is one of the most attractive facets of this program. Working together enables us to spend time openly discussing issues and sharing important ideas.

I now realize there are no absolute right answers to business problems. Each person can have a different take on a problem and can offer a perfectly acceptable solution. I’m already a more patient and better listener because of the Kellogg experience.

For me, the focus has always been on the bottom line. It’s been very refreshing to see how classmates from other walks of life — for example, physicians or those engaged in nonprofit organizations — approach business issues. They are more “people-centric.” I’ve discovered tremendous value in learning how to see things from different angles.

This expanded view is woven throughout the academic curriculum. It is embodied in the diversity of our faculty and student body.

Regardless of your perspective now, your view will become clearer and more practically relevant at Kellogg.
