It merges, in fact, <\/span><b>online <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">educational sessions and two<\/span><b> on-campus smart-weeks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to meet and consolidate <\/span><b>networking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with colleagues and with the<\/span><b> industry champions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involved in the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Flexibility and innovation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are, therefore, the words that best describe this path, while &#8220;pioneers&#8221; can be defined the students who chose it 13 months ago, as underlined by <\/span><b>Franco Visani<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Scientific Director of the Master, who took leave by the group with these words:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAn<\/span><b> innovative path <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">began a year ago, in terms of form and structure. A <\/span><b>hybrid path<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with an important goal: to combine the flexibility of online with the interaction of physical presence. It has been <\/span><b>a year of great commitment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and dedication both on our part and on the part of the students, to ensure that this path brought the desired results. At the end of the first edition, we can say that the hybrid version of the MBA is <\/span><b>no longer an experiment, but a reality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that cannot be ignored, just as organizations can no longer ignore the need for hybrid work. I want to sincerely thank the &#8220;pioneers&#8221; of this first edition. They invested in us and we invested in them. Our investment has certainly paid off in terms of educational and human experience. I hope theirs is too or it will be soon &#8220;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visani\u2019s words are echoed by those of our Alumni, to whom we asked to tell us how it feels to be pioneers in a path that, even when it takes place on the tracks of traditional formulas, is always very demanding. We were answered by <\/span><b>Luca Venturi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Country Sales Manager Italy for Langmatz Gmbh, and <\/span><b>Cristina Agresta<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Accounting Coordinator at Nexive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe embarked on a journey like the MBA with <\/span><b>the smile of the righteous and the courage of the foolish<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as I like to say, in the uncertainty of the pandemic. But perhaps for this very reason, the commitment and effort of the Master were what helped me most of all to keep the bar straight&#8221; said Luca, who added: &#8220;Being the first was not an issue, because <\/span><b>the hybrid formula was the perfect choice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in this historical moment, so much so that other business schools have made similar choices, offering similar paths\u201d. And for those who will come later, Luca advises to &#8220;Aim with ambition for the MBA goal, but <\/span><b>enjoy the journey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is what in the end you will miss&#8221;\u00a0 Especially if that journey takes place in Bologna Business School : &#8220;In my experience it is difficult in other contests to <\/span><b>have a high level of humanity,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and to find attention, from all staff and colleagues&#8221;. His words to define the Hybrid MBA? Modern, inspiring and complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I\u2019m proud to have been part of the Hybrid MBA pioneering team&#8221; echoes Cristina. \u201cThis journey\u201d, she says, \u201cwas a wonderful adventure and it\u2019s nice to think that we have <\/span><b>paved the way<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for those who will come\u201d. Her advice for them? \u201cTo <\/span><b>go with it without thinking too much<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, because the investment will certainly have a return on a human and professional level. Studying in BBS has been truly an <\/span><b>extraordinary experience<\/b>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which has given me a lot, in every moment, also thanks to <\/span><b>Eugenio Sidoli<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s Mentoring lessons, which have been a great added value &#8220;. She agrees the Hybrid MBA is <\/span><b>a modern, stimulating and complete Master<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which she lived \u201cwith great enthusiasm and curiosity, learning what it means to be a team in the various group works in which we ventured during the course\u201d. For Cristina, the Master became the travel companion of a more special experience: \u201cI lived my <\/span><b>pregnancy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the Master and I <\/span><b>became a mother<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in September. I\u2019ve always had the support of the Director, the staff, the Faculty and of my classmates and if I have reached the end of this exciting journey it is also thanks to all of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first edition (first Intake) of the Hybrid MBA ended last Saturday, with the conclusive smart-week on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[207,92],"tags":[],"rubrica":[],"class_list":["post-78645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en-2","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hybrid MBA.
