Graduate School

Hi again. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Bentley MBA is focused around four key themes of business: innovation, value, environment and leadership. In the first 12 weeks of the BMBA, we have focused on the innovation theme. We have considered the concepts of creative thinking in small and large organizations, explored the psychology of the innovator’s mind, learned how to elevate an innovation to a business case and, after launching an innovation to start a business, how to sustain the innovation process. Yes, we covered all of this in 12 weeks.

Sometimes when you are in a new environment and everything around you seems to be happening for the first time, you still feel certain familiarities and closeness in people around you. The start of the Bentley MBA  with a bunch of people who are so diverse in geographies — 15 countries represented, speaking 21 different languages — and yet so close in the way they think and feel about themselves and about their future.
