“The LUISS MBA? A Monumental Experience”: to take a step toward a Finance career, Rafael choose LUISS Business School

Prior to joining the LUISS MBA program, Rafael Da Cruz Bezerra studied electrical engineering in Brazil and France. Then he worked in Brazil and Mozambique in Procurement and Internal Control for Vale S.A., one of the world’s largest mining companies. When he decided that an MBA was the next step toward a Finance career, Rafael wanted to study on a prestigious course in Italy and found LUISS Business School. Describing his LUISS MBA experience, Rafael said, “What I like best about the program is that with the small class size we have really bonded together. In addition, I have enjoyed the marketing courses, even if my focus area is Finance. The most memorable part of my year so far has been participating in the Finance Competition in Milan. There my colleagues and I saw that our course preparation was equal to that of other business schools like London Business School, HEC Paris or Insead. I recommend participating in competitions like this as well as exchanges or electives with other business schools. These experiences are very rich, much more than I anticipated. They are great for networking and giving a broader vision of where other business schools focus. They are also good to see the strengths of our own school. Living in Rome has also been an important part of my experience. My one word description of Rome is 'monumental'.  Everything here is in a different scale and always very impressive. After this first impact you start to realize that there are a multitude of Rome’s, with so many places and facets to discover. I live just outside Rome in a little town called Paliano, and I come often into Rome. It is a great city in all senses: culturally, night life and personal life (people are extremely friendly). One more piece of advice for prospective students is to learn a little Italian to really discover Italy. It is so much more than the big cities (Rome, Milan….) and with so much to offer, not just in business. My MBA experience so far has been great. My goal after the MBA is to have a career in Finance.  In the meantime I am working hard to enjoy every minute of these 15 months through my classroom learning, through exchange experiences and through living in Rome.” 17/07/2017

Etica e responsabilità per un’impresa d’eccellenza: gli allievi EMBA incontrano Ali Reza Arabnia, Presidente e CEO di GEICO-Taikisha

Una leadership che pone al centro l’uomo e invita a sperimentare nuovi principi gestionali, per chiunque creda che fare impresa significhi lasciare alle future generazioni un mondo migliore. Il 24 maggio 2017 gli allievi dell’Executive MBA hanno incontrato Ali Reza Arabnia, Presidente e CEO di GEICO-Taikisha. Questo è un approfondimento scritto da Silvia De Grandis, allieva EMBA - 11 edizione.  “Ognuno di noi dovrebbe prendere parte delle possibilità che l’azienda ha la fortuna di avere e dedicarla alle questioni sociali (…) perché la nostra responsabilità come imprenditori è verso il futuro” (da “Ali Reza Arabnia. Storia e valori di un imprenditore”, di A. Zattoni, Inaz 2017) La prima sensazione che si prova entrando in GEICO-Taikisha è quella di trovarsi in uno spazio speciale, segnato dall’armonia. Armonia di suoni, luci e colori, ma soprattutto tra razionalità ed emozione, equilibrio perfetto tra tensione verso l’innovazione tecnologica ed attenzione per il benessere dei dipendenti. Il segreto sta nell’unione tra il Pardis Innovation Centre, polo di ricerca e sviluppo di rilevanza mondiale, che colpisce per ordine, efficienza e funzionalità, e il Giardino dei Pensieri di Laura, 2000 mq di pura bellezza e luminosità, con spazi dedicati alla meditazione, alla socialità, all’arte, in generale allo star bene, che stupisce ed affascina appena se ne varca la soglia. GEICO è esattamente come te l’aspetti dopo averla sentita raccontare dal suo Presidente e CEO, il Dr. Ali Reza Arabnia, che come allievi dell’Executive Master in Business Administration abbiamo avuto occasione di conoscere durante uno degli incontri “Prospettive degli Executive”, svoltosi nell’ambito dell’Executive Leadership Program. Eccellenza tecnologica e valorizzazione delle risorse umane, legati finalmente assieme, rappresentano l’anima profonda di GEICO, la sua unicità in un settore difficilissimo, quasi brutale, come quello dell’automotive, dove è oggi leader nella realizzazione e progettazione di impianti automatizzati chiavi in mano per la verniciatura delle scocche automobilistiche. Una testimonianza coinvolgente e intensa, quella di Arabnia, che fa riflettere sul senso vero del fare impresa: in contrapposizione a modelli spesso guidati da scelte opportunistiche e obiettivi di mera massimizzazione del profitto, ecco una leadership che pone al centro l’uomo e guarda al futuro. “Governata con Etica e Affetto: siamo un team guidato dai valori, profondamente impegnato a comprendere e perseguire le aspettative dei nostri clienti, sempre nel rispetto delle persone, della comunità e dell’ambiente. Living by resilience” è la scritta che accoglie ospiti e dipendenti in reception e riflette l’attenzione verso il prossimo, verso le aspettative, i sogni di ognuno, affinché trovino terreno fertile per esprimere al meglio sé stessi. E poi attenzione per l’ambiente, con azioni concrete per preservare il pianeta. Una via per raggiungere l’eccellenza che passa per il rispetto e che va percorsa attraverso investimenti continui in innovazione, con lo sguardo rivolto al futuro. Queste le linee guida aziendali di Arabnia sin dal 2005: una managerialità etica; un approccio umanistico ed una cultura trasversale; il trasferimento in azienda dei valori di responsabilità e sensibilità così presenti nella sua persona; l’equilibrio tra intelligenza analitica ed emotiva. Tutto con tanto lavoro, impegno, sacrificio e passione: da qui la sua capacità di ascoltare e capire il mercato; di adattarsi in modo rapido e dinamico al cambiamento; di fronteggiare le difficoltà volgendole a proprio favore; di crescere interagendo in modo trasparente e propositivo con tutti gli stakeholders. Dalla visita in GEICO si torna a con un bagaglio prezioso, che invita a tradurre i pensieri in azione, con la voglia di sperimentare nuovi principi gestionali, di andare oltre rispetto ai modelli economici tradizionali. Si torna con in mente il campus di formazione interna Pippo Neri e la fondazione Pardis, che con progetti concreti sostiene il territorio e la comunità. Si torna con una ricetta di successo, valida in qualunque campo e settore, per chiunque creda che il fare impresa non sia semplicemente un’attività con finalità economiche, bensì il mezzo per lasciare alle future generazioni un mondo migliore.

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.”   14/12/2016
