Better professional situation, self-improvement..., what a new degree brought them.
Mohammed El Hachmi, Public Service Executive (International MBA Paris Dauphine/Sorbonne): Promotion is conditioned by willingness and involvement in the organization.
We are in a changing world, and the management practices that govern it are also changing. From this principle, I became convinced that only intellectual vigilance, integrating these new practices, could push me to better serve the Moroccan company. This may seem ambitious, and yet it is my conviction, because I work in a company that is dedicated to public service. This training has brought me a lot on a personal level and in terms of professional maturity. It was also useful intellectually because I examined concepts and measured the limits of their application in the field.
It should be recalled that the MBA training is based on a theoretical/practical combination that refers to "best practices" in a global context.
It is a construction of collective skills with an international label setting an objective of evolution for each person and, consequently, a sense of action. Furthermore, the MBA, beyond the theoretical skills it develops, strengthens team spirit and makes it possible to accentuate the rotation cycle of the PDCA wheel (Plan, Do, Control, Act) at the organizational level, and on all processes (financial, human resources,...)
In a way, the participants develop their "Will," the "willingness to take on new global challenges, and to perpetuate the cycle of new "best practices."
All this is likely to better manage daily problems. Regarding promotion, it must be perceived in two ways: - socially, the way I read the company and the organization allows me to affirm that there has been a real promotion; - professionally, promotion does not only obey the logic of the diploma. It is often conditioned by willingness, involvement in the organization, and a legal arsenal, as you certainly know.
For the rest of my career, I am convinced that more effort is now needed.
It is appropriate to paraphrase Michel Crozier in his book The Actor and the System: "A system never reproduces itself identically; it is the only hope of the actor to change it," and also Barack Obama in his vision, the challenge he launched during his election campaign: "Yes, we can." Let's say I'm an optimist by will.
It seems to me that the Moroccan manager, and especially the one who works in the public service, must arm himself with a love and a will of his own, to better serve his country, and choose the most competitive (win/win) options for the latter. This is what motivates me to succeed in my career. We must project ourselves onto a final result, and not on circumstantial facts...
Amina B., Bank Executive (MBA in Marketing, Canada): The training was advantageous at all levels
After many years in the banking sector, I felt that my career was being hampered in every way: promotion, salary...
After university studies, I still wanted to move forward and complete my education with a prestigious course. I chose Canada, pure chance. That said, I have always been attracted to marketing.
And so, the problem of choosing the field did not arise. With the help of my family, I was able to finance my studies in Montreal for two years. Beyond obtaining the diploma, this training is a personal satisfaction. I thought I would never be able to leave the country, my culture, my family... but I did it.
It's a psychological and moral milestone that I was able to overcome: self-improvement but also the pride of having accomplished the impossible.
Before even returning to Morocco, I was able to put my knowledge into practice as a communications consultant in a telecommunications company. Upon my return, I was able to quickly land a new job in a bank and access a position of responsibility.
Furthermore, this training helped me a lot on a personal level.
It allowed me to put into practice concepts learned in class, as was the case in terms of meeting management or change management. Ultimately, it should be emphasized that you considerably enrich yourself from the other participants who come from different backgrounds and professions.
