Business School Netherlands introduces special MBA for CEOs

Business School Netherlands (BSN) as part of its effort to provide the needed strategic solution to challenges that modern Chief executive officers face has is set to commence a special MBA for CEOs and C-Suite Executives.

The BSN Special MBA for CEOs is a unique proposition designed to help CEO’s and leaders achieve company-wide transformation while equipping them with tough skills to ride the waves of changing economic climate and achieve sustainable leadership in their respective industries

Lere Baale, Chief Executive of the School in Nigeria stated that the vision of Business School Netherlands is to be global provider of excitingly different learning experiences that enable CEOs and managers learn faster than the prevailing rate of change.

“We have kept true to our mission to contribute to higher education in management learning; and facilitate the development of African managers’ skills, knowledge, research capabilities and ability to take action with regards to the problems, prospects and challenges facing their own organisations” Baale said.

BSN’s unique teaching and learning methods have earned the school accolades across the world and endeared it to students, graduates and employers worldwide and particularly in Nigeria. He therefore enjoined Nigerian CEOS desirous of internationally acknowledged MBA certificates to save themselves the financial stress and mental rigor of funding and procuring international travelling documents and take advantage of the BSN’s presence in Nigeria to fulfill their ambitions.

His reason is that “the BSN MBA is awarded centrally in the Netherlands. The over 488 people that have earned the BSN’s MBA through the Nigerian outreach have had to satisfy the requirements of the parent institution.” The certificate awarding ceremonies are also held in the Netherlands to further cement the international status of BSN.

What makes the school clearly differentiated is its proprietary “action learning” a scientific learning methodology, which enables BSN students to experience direct impact on what is learnt in themselves, their work, their organizations and their future.

In a related development, the institution is set to graduate its 2017 set in The Netherlands. Eleven (11) Nigerians scored Distinctions (including one Cum Laude) in their final dissertations in the Executive Masters in Business Administration (MBA) programme of the school this year. Two Nigerians also achieved overall Distinctions.

BSN Nigeria is graduating 74 new MBA Graduates for 2017. The 19th graduation ceremony of BSN will hold on Saturday the 7th October 2017 at Steigenberger Kurhaus Hotel, Scheveningen, The Netherlands.

“Our graduation ceremony is the highlight of the year for everyone connected with BSNN. Fourteen years after opening BSN in Nigeria, we are proud to support a large group of working professionals and contributing to business education in Nigeria, operating from the economic capital of West Africa.”

Business School Netherlands has earned international acclaims and top ranking from global bodies including: Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programmes (ACBSP), eduQua, Institute of Action Learning, and ATEA. It had earlier received the Dutch Flemish accreditation known as the NVAO accreditation. These accreditations were based on various strict assessments and criteria, genuinely confirming the quality and success of BSNN educational methods. The CEO Magazine had also rated the School as first-tier among MBA Schools globally.

The Nigerian outreach of BSN commenced operations in October 2003 as one of the affiliate learning centres of Business School Netherlands across the world and operates from purpose-built facilities in Ikeja GRA of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, and study centers in Abuja FCT and Port Harcourt.

With over 1400 enrollments, Nigeria has become a leading BSN location in the world, offering experiential action-learning programmes pioneered by Business School Netherlands.  To date the school has graduated over 488 “Action Learning” MBA researchers, managers and business leaders.

The intent of BSNN Action Learning is to contribute to higher education in management learning and facilitate the development of African CEOs and managers’ skills, knowledge, research capabilities and ability to take action with regards to the problems, prospects and challenges facing their own organizations.

The programmes offered by the school carry the intrinsic character of the Action Learning methodology with a highly relevant approach to effective management development, which has proven to be one of the critical factors resulting in the business school’s current position as the leading provider of MBA Studies, recognised in Europe.
