Design, Debate & Deliberate

The three new courses we had in Building Block II is about Design - Innovation & Product Design, Debate - International Political Economy, and Deliberate - Strategy. All of them are highly interactive and engaging that we almost forgot 2 weeks ago we were still struggling with the exams. Today, we got the results! Overall performance is better than previous classes, according to faculty feedback. Thank God, i survived through it...

Looking forward, we will have our last team formed by next Sunday - International Consulting Project and more details will be shared then. At the mean time, our program coordinator Celine is busy preparing our discovery expedition in Kenya this summer and many colleagues are sweating for the MBA Tournament preparation.

Exciting April...

Spring in Lausanne

Survived after the whole week of exams, some ran as long as 6.5 hours (Finance interim exam). Thanks to our Program Coordinator Celine who kindly organized (or planned as part of the learning experience in IMD) our first-exam party, it was MAD (the famous clubbing compound)...

No much time to take a break, we had a meeting with entrepreneurs for start-up project today when the 2nd pit-stop is just two week away. Over the weekend, we also had to finish some group work for the NEWly assigned study group. And from Monday, three brand new courses will kick off plus the existing finance, accounting, etc.

The good news is, spring is coming! I didn't have time to take a beautiful picture of the blooming city but I will do it soon.

Rushing for a Chinese-speaking dinner now. Bon weekend!
