Life begins at the end of your comfort zone: the career of Alessandro after the LUISS MBA

MBA 2015 Over my desk hangs a saying: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. Life is more enjoyable when I experience new adventures, both in my personal life and in business.  When it came time to choose an MBA program, I wanted one that would stretch me.  So I chose the LUISS MBA. I learned from challenging classes, valuable soft skill labs, carefully selected international students and talented international faculty. I had opportunities to meet influential CEOs from Italian and international companies, as well as board members and experienced managers. The LUISS MBA was the perfect mix between academia and a learning by doing experience. And Rome was the perfect setting for this experience. It was literally possible to breathe in all the ancient history coming from the past as well as the modernity of a capital city. Nightlife was another plus because there are many places where students can experience unforgettable nights. The result of this mixture was something unique because the challenging environment fit perfectly with the charming city and the business school location. Before joining the LUISS MBA program, I worked as a consultant and an entrepreneur in the medical equipment industry, selling products and services for private clinics. I wanted to make a career change to a larger company, and the LUISS career services team suggested many opportunities with well-known Italian and international companies. Currently I am a Buyer for Babcock Mission Critical Services in the rotary wings division (part of the UK company Babcock International Group). We save lives every day in our core business of HEMS service (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service).  The LUISS MBA helped me develop the tools to succeed. Mental flexibly, stress management, hard skills and negotiation abilities are valuable allies in my current professional life. All were improved in the LUISS MBA through academic lessons and practical training. To be accepted in the LUISS MBA program, it was essential to have two big qualities: motivation and skills. To cover the cost, I applied for the “AdVenture” full tuition scholarship, making a business plan for an innovative idea. When the LUISS Admissions Office called, I was excited to hear that I was one of the winners. It taught me that if you are resilient and believe in your dreams, no one can stop you. The LUISS MBA is a 360-degree program that changed my life, taking me far past my comfort zone. I loved every minute of this incredible learning experience.

LUISS MBA AdVenture: when entrepreneurship meets the teamwork

MBA AdVenture is a very innovative project designed to challenge the students to put into practice knowledge learned during the academic year. It is a laboratory aimed to push its participants to apply their skills and know how in  a real company producing tangible and implementable results. Alessandro Blanchi, Svetlana Ivanova, Britney Minto and Valerio Caprasecca are the team members that have been working with EggUp, an Italian startup company with the mission to change the way in which employers find suitable professionals  and  match them with their existing teams. “We carefully studied the company and its business model in order to find points of strength and weakness that had to be worked on . – they say – After careful consideration and detailed analysis of all the material collected, we decided to propose a new business model. “In order to accomplish this task, we planned several Skype meetings as our group was composed of team members that were located in different countries. We had to manage long distances and various time zones: for example, Britney was in Philadelphia, US while Valerio was in Melbourne, Australia”. The challenges that the team faced didn’t concern merely the organizational profile, but affected even the decisions which had to be made: “The project challenged us to think outside the box, to design a smarter and more modern solution for EggUp and to be competitive in its market. In order to make the idea even more valuable, we supported the entire project with theoretical and academic insights acquired during our studies at LUISS Business School and from each of our own previous work experiences”. “The AdVenture experience represented an exceptional added value within the LUISS MBA program. It gave us the possibility to see and evaluate all the aspects of a company. We truly had a unique opportunity of knowing the vision of a startup, its strengths and weaknesses, as well as the needs of the markets and of potential investors. It is an experience unlike no other”.  Working in a team has been really helpful for developing the team members  future careers: “It allowed all of us to utilize our strengths, sharpen our weaknesses, trusting and depending on our team members. Being a team player is a valuable asset that will be needed in all of our career from human resources, marketing, business development, to innovation. We are now equipped to make the transition from classmates to colleagues”. “We would describe the program in 3 words: • Challenging: coping with the overall stress due to the multiple time differences, various schedules of team members, and managing the different ideas concerning potential strategies to implement; • Resourceful: in terms of putting into practice academics in order to form a solution that meets the needs and interests of the company; • Creative: requires brainstorming to produce unique solutions that can be practically implemented”
