RECOMMENDATIONS

SEBASTIAN DRZEWIECKI

SYLWIA KUJAWSKA-FRYDRYCH

Head Of Business Service Center GSK

Experienced leaders are aware that each day brings changes and the opportunities for change.It is common, today, for companies to embrace complex change programmes in order to adapt to changingenvironments or to grow into new markets. These programmes can be transitional – do what we do betterand more efficiently, or move into new geographies or market sectors – or they can be transformational –do any of those things but, in doing so, become something different. Transitional programmes are complexbut predictable, transformational programmes, by their very nature, are unpredictable but can releaseenormous untapped potential – the caterpillar does not know what it is to become before it changes.Both forms of programme require a broad range of management and leadership skills – skills that can belearned and developed. I am deeply convinced that Transition Manager Academy will meet the expectationsof both experienced leaders and those wishing to start their career in such projects; participationin the program will enable both to prepare and to broaden horizons and discuss the challengesand observations with other leaders.

Managing Partner, Amberstone Associates

The point is that project management is not about schedules, processes and tools. It’s about buildingrelationships with people, quality of communication, leadership value and responsibility for change.The good thing is that this competence can be learnt and further developed, you can also cherish it.Transition Manager Academy, with its unique content and unique trainers, is an excellent way to achievea master level in the field of project management.

“I highly recommend Transition Manager Academy course as probably first in Poland, yet perfectly prepared one-year journey to get acquainted with all you might think of when it comes to transition and transformation. Number of lectures and areas they cover are much more than you can expect and foresee for such a course to present. Be aware however, that you will not expect what standard post graduate studies bring. Great tutors, mind-blowing topics and interactive classes in which, with great participants, within one year, you will undertake transition of oneself. Highly recommended”.

Mikołaj Kasprzak, Product Data Management Supervisor

“Thank you once again for your effort and great opportunity to learn. I have noticed the change in me and it's evolving ever since I joined the Transition Manager Academy. I think people around me notice too - I have had 2 job offers in the last 2 months, and they are internal ones. All lectures were super interesting, the lecturers very knowledgeable and experienced, materials very well prepared and informative. Good balance of personalities too. Przemek’s and Gosia’s energy was amazing. Mike's mind-boggling sessions enabled some interesting journeys into inner selves.... if one were ready for it...The TRIZ and visual thinking sessions were great addition to give the Academy extra dimension that, for sure, makes the program really distinct in the market”.

Monika Niemczyk, Finance Transformations and Business Process Improvements Consultant

“I would absolutely recommend the Transition Manager Academy at Kozminski University. As a foreigner who attended this track from another city,it was totally worth my time and effort. Top quality teaching squad and school, with a very interesting and well-designed subjects – based on PMBOK standards – ensure that you will be equipped and ready for the world of project management. If you are a seasoned project manager who is looking for networking and experience exchange with fellow project managers, or a person involved in projects and transitions, who is looking for more confidence for the next stage in your career, this is the program for you”.
