AMBS transformed how I think and lead. It sparked a passion for innovation and sustainability – the diverse cohort and rigorous curriculum, expanded my global perspective, ultimately paving the way for senior leadership roles.
AMBS worked really closely with us to understand our business and the challenges that we face.
The course reaffirmed why we started our business. We exist to amplify non-traditional voices and this course showed why those voices, especially from SMEs and local communities, are vital in shaping the conversation.
One of the best decisions I have ever made. It won’t be too long before I book on another executive education course at Alliance Manchester Business School.
AMBS have been the perfect partner, furthering our thinking with first-class insights, and developing a cadre of Sponsors who are ready to lead the projects that will realise our long-term goals.
