Working on four different Action Learning projects across Asia in teams consisting of diverse nationalities and backgrounds and managing multiple stakeholders for each project taught me how to quickly break down a problem and solve it with the team and resources given to me. This collaborative mindset has allowed me to embrace complexity and thrive under uncertainty.

Studying and working in Asia, the fastest-growing region in the world, has been an amazing opportunity. I gained exposure across television, investments, private equity, and real estate through Action Learning projects, which serve as a bridge between classroom theory and real-life application. On these projects, I learned to work with imperfection and limitations to become a good decision-maker. Oludare Oluwajuyitan, (ASB MBA ‘19) Operations and Business Development Manager, Sellorate
