My name is Andreas. I'm the head of the Stoller group. And in this position, I had a look at the beginning of this year.

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.540
What will be the next learnings for my life? Because I am looking forward to new responsibilities and tasks in the future.

3
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:26.370
And we decided to go to the General Management Plus program, which includes academic approach with three courses I visited.

4
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:35.190
And this today is my last course here and also an action based approach with a book Bridge Learning program and the Connected Capability Program.

5
00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:40.670
Um, and the big advantage of this approach, from my point of view, was that, um,

6
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:46.170
now I had this theoretically academic approach in the classes, for example, financial literacy.

7
00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:54.890
And afterwards I had the chance to use this learnings in the capability program by creating a financial planning for our own enterprise,

8
00:00:54.900 --> 00:01:00.060
a social enterprise we built up in Sri Lanka. And this is an experience I'm very grateful for.

9
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:08.489
And yeah, I'm looking forward to the future to to use these learnings also in other, um, action based on practical stuff.

10
00:01:08.490 --> 00:01:16.340
And um, yeah, that's the reason why I'm here. Think what you have to to have in mind us.

11
00:01:16.490 --> 00:01:19.910
What is your current position? So what? What? Where are you standing? What do you know?

12
00:01:19.910 --> 00:01:23.270
What kind of know? How do you have. What do you want to achieve?

13
00:01:23.270 --> 00:01:25.950
And of course, how much time you want to spend.

14
00:01:25.970 --> 00:01:33.620
An option is always to do, for example, an MBA program, but it is much more time consuming that than such a general memory plus program.

15
00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:40.459
This was a reason for me to choose this program. One of the big advantages of this program is that you meet a lot of different people,

16
00:01:40.460 --> 00:01:45.530
diverse people, which are working in total different companies and have a different background,

17
00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:51.410
especially when we were in Sri Lanka, for example, we had a lot of people from very international companies doing,

18
00:01:51.410 --> 00:01:55.040
for example, finance staff and so on and so forth, which I am not very familiar with.

19
00:01:55.310 --> 00:02:01.640
But after what we've done, the finance stuff together, you learn a lot, much more than you would ever learn when you do it by yourself.

20
00:02:04.130 --> 00:02:11.990
Here, it's a more academic approach. You learn a lot of new stuff, sinks, which you maybe may have heard before during your study,

21
00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:15.229
but something has changed regarding leadership, financial stuff.

22
00:02:15.230 --> 00:02:23.360
So you have some kind of upgrade on your already known knowledge because you have different people you discussing with and have different knowledge,

23
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.170
and that's much more hands on a not set academical approach.

24
00:02:27.470 --> 00:02:36.950
Um, so you have to to transfer this academic knowledge to the real life and try to, to bring it to your to, to, in essence, in the long term.
