Why did you choose PGPpro programme?

I have been very successful in my career so far with a decade of work experience.  However, at this crucial point of my career I want to move towards management role, in which I will direct and control a Firm’s operations and give strategic guidance and direction to the Board to ensure that the Firm achieves its mission and objectives. As a designer I have fairly good product development knowledge however I can contribute more to product inception and marketing. So, I need to learn and develop Business Acumen and leadership skills which are critical to product life cycle from inception to market. The Immersive nature of education at ISB and spending 18 months doing PGP Pro can bring about a perspective shift in life. PGPPro is modular, weekend only program which gives you chance to continue with your study without leaving your job and other commitments. Also, there is a lot of peer learning by becoming a part of diverse cohort.
