Every aspect of the programme, from the curriculum to the learning materials to the group assignments, is carefully designed to maximize the programme's impact for your organization.

Our executive education received numerous positive feedback over the years. Below are a few selected testimonials we received.

"It was a very fruitful workshop which did not only improve my understanding of the changing operating environment, but also provided me blocks for tackling and facing them. Last but not least, the workshop taught me ways and tools of thinking at work smartly and efficiently. This systematic workshop, through many case studies, would definitely help me take up higher responsibilities in the days to come."

"A big thank you to all the professors and facilitators of the Grandmaster Program. During the 5-Day programme held in the peaceful corner in Shatin, I truly experienced a world class executive education of CUHK.  The Program designed with an integration of corporate training and executive education from CUHK professors.  This makes the Grandmaster Program a unique one for us.

With classmates from different Asian countries within the group, it brings me different angle of perspective and the cohesiveness with various function of our group company.  The session on influence skills is particularly crucial for a 21st century manager as we learned about how to apply different influential techniques under different situations.  Corporate Social Responsibility is also a hot topic on how to build the foundation of sustainable development and at the same time, contribute to the society.

I do recommend every talents, prospective leaders or managers to experience the executive education from the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business of CUHK.  Only when the smart meets the smart would genius emerges."
