It all began with the Graduation Ceremony

A new beginning for the CEIBS Global EMBA 2019 cohort, from students to alumni, aligned with the economic recovery and opening in 2023. To carry out the cohort motto #ConnectToGrow, we decided to develop an ongoing series of deep dives into classmates' company visits and learning-with-leisure activities. We nicknamed this whole effort the “Post-G-Program”, designed to help us consistently "check in" with each other, no matter where our post-GEMBA lives take us.

One key takeaway from our collective CEIBS experience is that we believe the best way to learn is by connecting with real-world experiences. In particular, the experiences of our peers. By visiting our classmates' companies, a bridge is created between the theoretical knowledge we have gained in the classroom and the practical realities of the business world. As CEIBS GEMBA alumni, we now fully appreciate that hands-on experience is crucial to developing a well-rounded skillset in this BANI World.*

The Post-G-Program is a unique opportunity for GEMBA alumni to enjoy a new source of both personal and professional growth. Valuable insights and immersive experiences are imperative factors that keep us connected and engaged beyond the regular campus learning times together. 

From Brand to Consumer- The fashion world is so dynamic and fascinating

Any debut event needs to have plenty of styles. The Buy Quickly (BQ) and Romomo visit was generously endorsed and sponsored by our classmate Winnie Wu, who ensured that we all enjoyed an Exclusive VIP experience, from the moment we entered the company to the moment we left. The first amazing installment of this trip was in the Buy Quickly Creative Studio, where everyone gets the chance to be a supermodel while feeling the vibe of how the visual tonality and shooting rhythm of brand e-commerce is produced in this spacious studio. The next stop was the BQ IT Hub, where we were introduced to the highly innovative real-time dashboard of business performance and forecasting. This revealed a key source of the hidden competitive strength of BQ, given its position as a tech-savvy organisation.

From Macro to Micro - A Tale of Tianjin, the Emperor's Port

As the longest-serving cohort in all GEMBA history, (who have finally graduated!) we've spent most of our time in Shanghai during the past four years. Now, the GEMBA 2019 Alumni cohort plans to explore other nearby cities. Tianjin was eventually picked as the first out-of-Shanghai class trip reunion destination so that we could visit both AirBus and CanSino all in one day.

Tianjin is the gateway to the capital city of🔸快乐10分玩法说明, meaning "the Emperor's Port" which came into being during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

It is famous for its coastal scenery, historical relics, and culture. It’s also a growing hub for all forms of new business innovation.

Reflections on how we can continue to Connect to Grow

The Post-G-Program of class learning tour centered around the theme "Connect to Grow", and it has been an incredibly enlightening experience already. Coming together with classmates again and rekindling old friendships reminded us about the power of connection. As we embarked on this journey of self-discovery and growth, we realised that our individual paths had led us to different corners of the world, and yet, we were all bound by a shared history and a desire to learn and evolve.

Through engaging discussions and thought-provoking activities, we delved into topics that stretched our minds and challenged our perspectives. The diversity of experiences and opinions within us provided a rich tapestry of insights that inspired personal growth and intellectual expansion. It was through the act of connecting, sharing, and listening that we truly flourished as individuals and as a collective.

Leonardo da Vinci once said: "Learning never exhausts the mind." This quote resonates deeply with our class reunion experience. As we reconnected with one another, we realised that growth is a continuous journey. Our reunion trip together served as a reminder that learning and personal development are lifelong pursuits that can be amplified through meaningful connections. By fostering relationships and opening ourselves up to new ideas, we have grown not only intellectually but also emotionally and professionally.
