Why did you choose PGPpro program?

Working at SAP has given me multiple opportunities to learn and grow over the years. Being at a mid-career level, I was looking to enhance my business knowledge and network with industry experts. Looking at the curriculum ISB has outlined for the PGPpro program, I was pretty sure these are the core areas I need to understand in management and become competent in for moving up the career ladder and make informed decisions. Additionally, this would help me keep my current job and be able to apply the learning during the course of time. After talking to a few alums, I concluded that ISB PGPpro program is the right fit for me given both my personal and professional commitments.
