MAP TESTiMONiALS
The MAP programme gave me a massive amount of personal growth. The programme’s
subjects were very relevant and the lecturers did very well in getting the message across with
practical day-to-day business examples. When applying for the programme, i never imagined
how valuable a life experience it would be. i will never underestimate the value of time again.
Managing family life, work commitments and the MAP tasks was certainly a huge challenge.
The friendships i gained are set in stone and i look forward to bumping into other fellow MAP
100 students in the business environment. i would recommend the MAP programme to any
individual looking to further their knowledge or just for personal growth.
Many thanks to the MAP office for their help and support throughout my time at WBS.

i commenced MAP in March 2010 and my primary objective was to gain a better, broader and
more insightful knowledge and perspective of general business. My decision to choose WBS
was easy: reputation and recognition as a great Business School.
My learnings from the content of the programme were of incredible value. Equal to the
curriculum was the value i gained from class participation. The questions and resultant
answers as well as healthy debate from both student and lecturer were of immense value.
i also thought i’d never admit that the Syndicate method of learning mimics so much of
the real world business setting. There will always be diversity, even an idleness and lack of
participation in teams. it’s our ability to manage those individuals that determines success.
i’m living my dream, thanks very largely to my MAP qualification.

What MAP has done for me is to reignite my passion for learning. All those Saturday mornings
have proven to be a catalyst for further learning.
MAP has turbo-boosted my career. Although i have been in HR management for a while, i had
come to a point of touching the ceiling and wondering if there was anything more exciting to
be done. MAP has helped me to approach my role from a strategic angle and that has added
tremendous value to the way i approach problems and challenges. Although i am not a CEO
or a director yet, i am confident that is attainable in the not too distant future. in fact, since
i have been doing MAP many doors have opened for me. i have been invited to executive
briefings and meetings where my input has been sought by decision makers. i am now able
to hold my own when discussing economics, finance and general business matters. Without a
doubt, MAP has made me look good.
You guys are doing a great job. The quality of teaching, administration and prestige associated
with WBS is world class and i am proud to be associated with you.
