Discussion with Dr. hab. Paweł Czarnecki, the Rector of Collegium Humanum
In the heart of Poland, Collegium Humanum is making waves in the business education sphere with its highly reputable MBA program. Graduates of the program have consistently praised its effectiveness, citing its ability to stay current and relevant in the ever-evolving economic landscape.
At the helm of this success is Professor Paweł Czarnecki, HM Rector at Collegium Humanum. He discusses the qualities of good MBA programs, emphasising their need to adapt to local economic realities and utilise the most up-to-date materials and knowledge resources.
The MBA program at Collegium Humanum is designed with local demand in mind, offering courses in several locations across the country. This local focus is evident in the discussions held during classes, where experienced managers often express that well-known management strategies may not be applicable to the realities of the regional market in Poland.
In response to this, the traditional MBA program formula is being questioned. Its focus on global enterprises and case studies may not cater to local business trends, leading to a re-evaluation of the method of analysis in MBA programs.
However, Collegium Humanum's MBA program is not simply a critique of the status quo. It equips students with a full set of competences necessary to perform on managerial functions, including hard qualifications, soft skills, crisis management, and change management.
The program combines extensive theoretical knowledge with practical workshops, aiming for a higher level of effectiveness in the education process. While it does not typically involve mentoring, it offers a traditional combination of knowledge with hands-on experience.
Moreover, Collegium Humanum's MBA program is not a copy of solutions from world-leading MBA schools. Instead, it creates its own innovative educational paths, building a business identity that combines local conditions with strategies of the best enterprises in the West.
This approach has earned Collegium Humanum's MBA program a significant competitive advantage in the Polish news market, as measured by the number of its participants. In response to growing student needs, the program is expanding its educational offer to other cities.
The best academic centers in the world are also adopting this localised approach, offering MBA studies tailored to the local business environment and competition among companies. The teaching staff at Collegium Humanum, consisting of experienced professionals and young scientists who have gained theoretical and practical skills in prestigious institutions abroad, are at the forefront of this trend.
The MBA program at Collegium Humanum offers theoretical and practical knowledge in English and creates locally active groups of listeners in remote centers. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, this program is preparing its students to navigate the complexities of the global business landscape while remaining grounded in their local context.
In a rapidly changing world, Collegium Humanum's MBA program keeps up with the increasing compression of time to gain a competitive advantage. It is a response to the needs of the modern world, equipping its students with the tools they need to thrive in a dynamic and evolving business environment.
