"I have absolutely loved this program! I have learned so much and gotten so many nuggets that have direct applicability to my current assignment. I think that you should make this program the centerpiece of your overall learning strategy at Booz. I would like to see additional offerings from Roundtable beyond this program." -Shawn Gibson
"The quality of the teachers is absolutely outstanding, from the design of their lectures and presentations to the organization of the sessions and the electricity they have proven consistently able to generate in classrooms filled with demanding professionals. Their universal distaste for jargon and insistence that all discussion be conducted in English is certainly a relief to me. More important, there is an overarching unity to either your course design or instructor selection that I find not only extremely helpful but actually enlightening. That sense of unity-of a very well designed curriculum-is even more noteworthy in the integration of the readings with the video lectures. I really must compliment you again on the thoughtful organization of the collection of texts and their excellent progression from one idea to another. Each section stands alone quite effectively; taken together, I have a hard time envisioning a better basic education in strategic thinking. Here's the bottom line, from my point of view: If you feel you must be able to attach the letters "MBA" to your resume, then spend the extra time and money. If you want an equivalent education on a more-intensive time frame, then the Round Table course is the way to go." -John Manos
"The content of the program was exceptional. The visiting professors often were able to present their strategy concepts by using actual business examples. Presentations on the CDs were, for the most part, well done and thorough. I would like to see RTG offer other certifications such as the Project Management Certification (under the PMI sanctions). After reviewing the latest information about the 2002 course design, I see that a great deal of good modifications will be employed to overcome some of the issues I and my class members encountered in the program. In some ways, I envy future participants." -Dennis Valade
" I have gained a great deal of intellectual capital, resources, and relationships from the program... The program has also prepared me for future academic and professional goals that I am endeavoring to attain with its concepts and applicability to current business and economic trends and theory." -David Erbstein
"This program has challenged me to think outside of specific client situations and relate them to overall e-Business frameworks. This thought process is key in making me a better business consultant, and that is an experience I hope other students will gain from the course." -Anupama Reddy
"This class has been very helpful for me and the learning experience has been great. The topics, the reading materials, the assignments...and of course the grand finale - Business Plan -(in the works).. all great!!" -Sadeer Munir
"This course has allowed me, more than another course, to interact and collaborate with Booz Allen people that I had never met before. The team has been very successful and my new peers have helped me learn and have provided me an additional incentive to learn." -Richard Maynard
"Great experience. Constructive, swift feedback. The marketing section was extremely thorough. The lectures and readings were detailed and actionable. Also, the books were a highlight for me. I applied much of what I learned and directly applied the book Co-opetition to a competitive strategy issue that I was dealing with at work. Being in the software industry I also applied what I knew about empathetic design to better relate to my customers. The final business plan was definitely a worthwhile assignment." -Josh Sukenic
"The highlights included the opportunity to work with my team members from Booz Allen on a 'project' outside of our normal projects/work. It was different being in an academic setting and being able to talk with fellow team members, at all different levels - learning from each other and expressing interest and discussion. The text was well laid out and flowed nicely - incorporating many relevant and interesting articles." -Jodi Williams
"The excellent quality of the videos; the excellent selection of articles; the discussion forum opportunities --all of these were essential and provided a wealth of information which could be referenced or used at an appropriate future action." -William Michaels
"Russ Rosenzweig is a brilliant instructor. His generosity and patience are exemplary. The exposure to HBS, the condensation of so many disparate fields of study, and access to the various classic and contemporary experts is something very few individuals could stumble upon by themselves without such great structure and foresight (of the Program's planner(s)). In every sense, the lessons and insights presented in the Program were applicable to me throughout the duration of the study, and in retrospect, would have saved me untold grief had I been aware of them earlier in my business career." -Greg Seei
"The pace of progression for the topics covered was perfect. Having not been to business school, I thought the program gives good exposure to a wide variety of topics (strategy, vision, marketing, investment, business planning, decision sciences, etc.) Additionally, I thought the perceptual mapping exercise was a good mixture of creativity and hard data analysis." -Pamela Gerner
"I enjoyed the readings and the videos...I believe the topics were right on for me and I enjoyed it." -David Kirkwood
"Overall I think the course materials will be helpful to me in my work and presented to me a number of good ideas which I plan to incorporate into my work life." -Andrew Zino
"I thought the team-work aspect of the program was incredible. We had a great group of people in our team, All very intelligent, with different backgrounds and committed to their success in the program. I would like to encourage you to keep teaching the program. It's an incredible asset to Booz Allen's employees. Thanks for everything." -Ana Severance
