What others are saying about this programme

The programme was a great journey where I found new ways of working, working more efficiently, and got to know new people from all over the world. The programme is given by enthusiastic and driven professors and assistants who are very inspiring.

Diederik van Lieshout, senior operations manager, Shurgard Self Storage

RSM’s AMLP programme provided me not only with a broad and refreshing perspective on business and management, but also on how to more effectively engage with a diverse community of stakeholders. This boosted my confidence in being able to achieve my goals and future challenges.

Steve Belgraver, principal service manager, GTT

A great learning experience! The programme combined new theoretical support and tools with discussions with like-minded professionals. I liked the different approaches within each module, the varied faculty and the focus on three core areas: leadership, finance and strategy.
