"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

"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 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
