Abstract

‘So how was the business school programme, John? … Oh, you know, I’m really grateful to the firm for letting me go. It was a great choice, pretty tough on the family but worth it nonetheless. I had a great time. It was a terrific experience and just the right programme for me. I learnt so much … Great, what were the highlights in particular? Did you find the sessions on financial strategy as useful as we anticipated? … Well yes they were useful as an update, but to be honest I guess we are as up to speed in what we are doing here. But you know I learnt far more from the other people on the programme than any of the faculty or the case studies they used, and what’s more I guess I’ll stay good friends with one or two of the other delegates for life. We really clicked on the same wavelength. Just having time to think away from the office was a real bonus too; it put so much of what we do into context’.
