Graduates

Olga Belousova, project manager at the Moscow branch of JSC Systra, alumnus of the program Executive MBA - "Project Management: Best Practices and Technologies for Business"

My professional activity has always been one way or another connected with project management.

But having come in 2013 to a major international project company I faced new challenges related to the specifics of international activities.

Localization. The Moscow branch was limited to 3 employees while the company had about 5,000 employees. Project participants could work together while being in different time zones without the possibility of direct communication. Remoteness and small number branch gave rise to issues of distribution of responsibility and project roles performed.

Lack of automation and formalization of business processes. The company had the most general project management manuals. There were no knowledge bases available. There were no project management tools.

The complexity of intercultural communication. Due to the difference in mentalities, business customs, as well as the speed of processes, it became necessary to look for compromise solutions which would suit all interested parties. Besides, in international business there is always a translation aspect and differences in terminology.

Despite the above, the work seemed interesting to me, and I decided to bring the theoretical base to the existing practice in order to be confident in my actions. I came to the Higher School of Economics in 2016.

VSUP helped to understand the theory of project management. Of course, now all theory is freely available, but the EMBA program is more about the relationship between theory and practice. Only after going through many cases and role playing you can get the gist project activities without being tied to any particular company or industry. And this essence is beautiful in its universalism and applicability to any, not only professional, but personal tasks. EMBA is a comprehensive program that combines the development of both hard skills and soft skills.

The EMBA program is comprehensive. one of her strengths is an analysis of the standards adopted in various countries- P2M, Prince 2, not just PMBOK. And it's already aerobatics, conceptual and, one might say, philosophical level.

Already in the course of training, I received new areas of responsibility in my company, a significant increase in income, as well as a change in position. We have successfully implemented several large projects.

2 years after graduation, we still communicate with classmates, with colleagues from other groups, we come to VSUP for seminars. I also launched projects on health management, my own knowledge base and personal archives.

I am very grateful to VSUP and personally to each teacher and administration of the school.

History and present

The need to master the methodology of project management is determined by the fact that with the constant increase in the number of projects implemented in the world, in Russia and in certain sectors of the economy, the requirements developed by the international community for managing them are becoming more and more complicated and improved.
