"This is an intense and inspiring week and a well-structured program that covers the long journey from idea generation to market success, embedding the many facets of innovation and entrepreneurship into a bigger picture. It provides insights into both worlds: the small startup and the large organization. A world-class faculty, supported from excellent guest speakers from the Silicon Valley scene and beyond. This course will definitely support and improve my future work."
"This program is an opportunity to share and learn from experience of senior managers from all around the globe. The program combines experienced tutors and practitioners from the Silicon Valley providing a unique mix that boosts your creativity and thinking about the implementation of the knowledge you have just learned."
"I had a wonderful, enriching experience at the Boot Camp for Experienced Managers. The training was a nice blend of theory and practical examples. It was very rewarding to connect with like-minded folks and discuss my organizational issues, and to listen to their ideas. I have already highly recommended this training to my colleagues."
"CTO program was an amazing experience to learn the latest trends, apply them strategically in my role and networking with peers."
"I joined the Berkeley Exec Ed program to gain a better understanding of the role of CTO and to get confidence to step into the role myself. I gained experience that has helped me be a better manager and learned concepts that immediately improved my company's performance."
"The program takes you through a well-structured learning journey. It is interesting how professors present different “tools” and frameworks that can help you in your day-to-day challenges."
"This was an important program for me to validate some of my current operating models and develop a better one based on my new learning. The brand of Berkeley and the connections I made are invaluable. It was one of my dreams to study at school here, and I am happy that I got to do that here at Berkeley."
"I found all courses and modules extremely relevant and the faculty were fully on top of their subject areas. I loved the way the faculty readily contextualized some of the exponential technologies to the market dynamics. I liked the way we had engaging discussions on specifics on a wide range of topics."
"The networking aspect of this program was very beneficial to my career. The ability to interact with other members of the cohort and gain knowledge that would either be inaccessible or painful to obtain through experience. I would recommend that you spend your time connecting with the cohort and building those relationships."
"Key aspect to any learning I believe is the opening of the mind to new ideas and enablement of application of those in real world. The frameworks presented in this course did both for me and I am ready to apply some of those in career and life."
"Helped me with my confidence in business communication."
"I was very excited to join this course but at the same time, I was very worried I would not be able to understand the concepts shared nor have time to process the information (online class). 8 weeks after... I feel optimistic, confident, and most importantly proud of understanding the PM framework and happy I took the time to do the work and challenge myself to learn. The way the content is designed helped me understand each aspect of PM and how they interconnect."
"It's a ton of information but well organized, thoughtful and inspiring. And although the time is short, it was really well done."
"Very helpful in understanding how to grow as a leader. The exposure. The tools. This is really good for new leaders."
"The program is overwhelming, but in a good way. It's paced well, the faculty all feel incredibly engaged, the content is presented clearly and reinforced throughout to boost retention, and the opportunities for learning and discussion are well-balanced. Homa is an incredible facilitator and made me feel both inspired and well taken care of in her leadership.
