Masters Feedback

Some feedback from one of our class of 2021 in the Masters in Professional Practice

“Since commencing the MA I have grown the Turnover of my business by 21% on the previous year. This included increased margins. Entries into new sectors. New Product development. Significant changes to how I engage with the team in IMS and how we, as a company, operate and view ourselves.

There is an emergent Culture now within IMS. A tangible energy of constant improvement and results.

I could talk to you about it in detail if you were ever interested. But I genuinely attribute it all to not just what I learned throughout the MA, but what I unlocked within and learned about myself.”
