Got a board meeting to prepare for. I need to come up with a strategy, a staffing plan, and a budget. :) I guess this is the kinda stuff b school is supposed to prepare you for, and all MBA students hope to do when they graduate. Yet, I just feel nervous. I know, I have done this many times in school, but yet, I still find myself flipping through the ICP ("International Consulting Project" for those of you who are not familiar with IMD speak) manual trying to find a strategy "cookbook".
Nah, it's not a cookbook, only if it were that easy. The ICP manual does show you the steps to follow though. Cool. I also need to dig up Boschek's notes on industry analysis to make sure I am doing stuff right.
Huh, I guess B school does teach you something. I just wish I have all this stuff in my head so I don't have to keep referring to my notes. Guess I just wasn't built that way, but I know Maria is (good reason to why she is a Bainny).
Anyway, enough bullshit, I better starting digging through Bolschek's notes.
About Me
- Sia
- Lausanne, Switzerland
- This marks my return to Switzerland after living in the U.S. for the last 12 years. I moved to Switzerland to "find myself" and get an MBA at the same time. After finishing my MBA at IMD in 2006, I joined a tech startup in Switzerland. I switched employer and now work for a US technology company. This would be the third continent I've lived in: Asia, America, and Europe.
