Good-bye, Prof. LPO!

Time flies faster at IMD! This is already the 10th week into our Building Block I, a whole week of exams have been scheduled at the end of March which leaves us only the Easter weekend to take a break or take a deep dive!

Anyway, most groups survived happily after last weekend's 1st Integrative Exercise which we dug into an interestingly long case of Two-Wheeler market in Pakistan. What's amazing is that Richard's (American) wife Tanya who was a Pakistani availed herself to share with us live experience of her home country. Where else can you find more dynamic exercise than this?

Some updates on-campus, selected interviewees after round 1 application for Class 2009 are already here. LPO (Listen, Pay Attention, Observe or Learn, Practice & Organize) course which spells for Leading People in Organization will finish tomorrow. Prof. Maury is someone you can't forget because he always starts the session by playing some music 15 mins before the class. Today he played two versions of a song from Elton John and asked for critics. It turned out to be his own performances in between 31 years - the lesson learned: how to sustain a life-long learning?

As many groups are working on the leadership essay and trailblazer projects, we'll definitely have more learnings to share. Ciao!
