The result has in all cases without exceptions been a growth rates of 10-20% in sales revenue within year one after the turn-around. These extraordinary results have been obtained because of Agata’s systematic and skilled approach but certainly also because of her international Intelligence and her unique ability to fit into very different and difficult cultures.”

“The Mini MBA really changed me! I believe I am a better leader and a better businessman today. I enrolled in the program while in the process of moving to Singapore with my family and starting up a new business. Throughout the course I was able to reflect upon my career and build up on existing business knowledge and skills. I was really able to apply the knowledge from the course immediately in my every day work situation. During each of the modules I wrote down some of the key learnings, thoughts and new techniques. Very often I was then able to start using it in practice at my work basically the day after. I love the personal development focus of the course via “Design Your Career” module. I gained a deeper understanding of who I am and who and where I want to be in the future.”
