Studies give you energy: when you return home after lectures, you want to act, progress and make changes. I know I will miss this feeling very much after completing my studies, just like I will miss the constant inspiration, ideas and support

Studies in our organization are important as a means of developing the competence of managers and raising motivation. Each manager takes away his own from the studies. For some it is new acquaintances and sharing of experience, for others it is self-knowledge, for others it is deepened professional knowledge or acquired new competence. Is executive studies something that will add value to you and pay for itself? It depends on how you manage to use it. We are happy that the investment is paying off.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
There is a very good saying - "it is as others
think". During my studies, I had a unique
opportunity to take a 360-degree test, the greatest
value of which, in my opinion, was the
opportunity to evaluate myself and be evaluated by
others (employees, friends, colleagues...).
Discoveries were phenomenal! The received
information helps you to create an overall picture
of yourself, to see your strengths and weaknesses,
and to create a development plan.
Giedrius Valainis
CEO of UAB "Aros Marine", alumnus of the ISM
Executive MBA program
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I chose the "Strategic management" module in order to familiarize myself with the time-tested methods of long-term activity planning and learn to better identify the main criteria that determine the success of strategic choices. During the semester, the concentrated theoretical information was effectively supplemented by multifaceted discussions with fellow students in lectures and valuable contacts were made. I recommended that those looking for business and self-development opportunities take the time to complete this course.

Director of strategic planning Girteka logistics, an alumnus of the ISM Executive School module "Strategic management"
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I always raise the bar high, both for myself and for
those around me. The year at ISM Executive MBA
was not the easiest journey, if you aim for the
maximum, you have to be prepared for everything.
But in hindsight, if I were given the choice, I
wouldn't change a thing. Every obstacle, challenge
and struggle, every push outside the comfort zone,
every experience has nurtured and opened up new possibilities. And I will certainly never be the
same again.
Paulius Insoda
Head of NFQ Technologies, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Today's environment is constantly changing, and the manager must change. And these ISM Executive MBA studies force you to go outside your comfort zone and look at yourself from the outside, listen to your team, and establish a connection. You discover that your potential is unreal at the end of your studies.
Lijana Žmoginaitė
"Gjensidige" Head of Private Clients and member of the Baltic management team, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I came to the ISM Executive MBA with the most inspiration. But I received knowledge that I had already applied in practice. Ideas that, if implemented, will make the business grow immeasurably faster. Contacts that will be useful in life. And, of course, inspiration - to never stop improving.
Šarūnas Perminas
UAB Med grupė manager, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I was able to immediately apply the skills and knowledge acquired during the ISM Executive MBA studies in practice, both in the activities of my agency and when working with clients. The most significant value of investigations and different learning methods is the personal change that occurs through listening and discussing with teachers, communicating and solving tasks with peer teams, and finally, reflecting and examining one's own decisions, feelings and behaviour.
Raminta Rimkienė
Director and partner of the communications services agency Fabula Hill+Knowlton Strategies, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I am proud of myself for taking up the challenge of studying ISM Executive MBA. During the one-year journey, there were positive personal and professional changes. My network of business contacts expanded. I gained more self-confidence, knowledge and understanding of strategic challenges and leadership. I became a better manager and a better person.
Rūta Bagdonavičienė
General director of Gintarinė vaistinė UAB, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
The company I was the board's chairman of went through a difficult period and a management change. I had to get behind the wheel. Under other circumstances, overcoming this extraordinary situation would have been more difficult as a person and a professional. I probably felt a lot more uncertainty. I am sure - ISM Executive MBA studies helped me to work on myself first of all.
Nemunas Biknius
CEO of Amber Grid, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
The year-long ISM Executive MBA offers a unique interaction between faculty and students, imbued with a spirit of improvement and collaboration. Managers from different fields and sectors gather to study. We share individual experiences. We solve each other's problems together, discuss, and discover our organisations' unique characteristics.
Lina Žagarienė
CEO of Švaros broliai, ISM Executive MBA alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Inviting other managers to your organization gives you a lot of responsibility - your ability to trust the team, disclose data to them and objectively present the organization determines the result of the whole group. Fellow students help to see the organization from the side and to study it impartially. This experience was unique, helping me discover new ways to move forward and how and where.
Milda Ivanauskienė
CEO of MO Muziejus, alumnus of the ISM Executive MBA program
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
During the ISM Executive MBA studies, I used the opportunity to prepare strategic work for my organization and my study colleagues. This experience, the insight provided by fellow students and the best experts in their fields, the opportunity to delve into even the most minor details (which you don't always want to see) and to receive the assessment of peers as external experts were precious.
Algirdas Ramaška
Kino Pavasaris CEO, ISM Executive MBA program alumnus
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
In the ISM Executive MBA studies, I was particularly impressed by the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of leadership; business rhythm often only allows spending a little time reflecting on oneself as a leader or deepening knowledge about leadership. Better self-understanding and achieving leadership transformation are helped by a 360-degree behavioural study measuring the manager's behaviour, leadership potential and efficiency at the beginning of the studies. Many people must be involved in it - colleagues, relatives, friends. Therefore, the final image you get is very detailed. This test helped me see myself from the outside and understand how others see me. And this picture can often be very different from your imagination. I observed my reactive behaviour; I discovered my strengths and weaknesses.
Šarūnas Putrius
CEO of Telesoft, alumnus of the ISM Executive MBA program
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I didn't come to ISM Management Master's for a diploma. We had already established Vinted and I saw it grow from a hobby project into a business. I felt that there was a lack of knowledge, especially in the field of marketing, which was my responsibility. Therefore, the choice of studies was completely practical - to get the highest quality, condensed knowledge in the shortest possible time.
Milda Mitkutė
Founder of “Vinted”
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
I graduated from ISM in 2009, for which I am eternally grateful. A bit of a slowdown is always a good time to refresh your knowledge and prepare for a new competitive battle.
Mantas Katinas
General manager of “Wargaming Vilnius”
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Studies in our organization are important as a means of developing the managers’ competence and boosting their motivation. Each manager takes something different from the studies. For some the greatest gain is new acquaintances and sharing experience, for some it’s self-knowledge, for others yet it is professional growth or new competences acquired. Is the course of executive studies something that will add value to you and bring revenue? It depends on how successful you are in making the most of it. We are happy that the investment is paying off.
Modestas Ancius
General manager of “Baltneta”
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
The main goal of our organization is to have managers who are open to new things, processes and knowledge. Managers who have studied at the ISM become more self-confident, motivated, result-oriented, proactive and driven. The studies increase their appetite for change, and they want to share this spirit with their colleagues, share new practices, and their newly-discovered strong desire to grow and try out new things. It makes you realize that you have to learn and evolve constantly - after all, something that worked five years ago probably won't work anymore today.
Sigitas Meilūnas
COO of "TNDM Trucking“
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Over several years, more than 100 “Girteka Logistics” managers of different levels have deepened their knowledge in various ISM management skills development programs. ISM MM allows the company not only to motivate employees and develop expert managers, but also to grow its internal reserve of professional managers, to improve the internal company culture, to carry out activities taking into account the latest business trends, and to make decisions based on acquired theoretical and practical knowledge rather than just intuition.
Pavel Kveten
“Girteka Logistics” Managing director for Europe
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
At the beginning of my studies, I was going to complete only one module, but I was pleasantly surprised by the teaching culture, the discussions taking place here, and the openness to sharing experiences. At ISM Executive School I had the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and practice solving various business cases. The research papers turned out to be extremely valuable due to their pragmatic approach, moreover, continuous learning took place through communication with fellow students. So, instead of only one module, I completed the entire master's program. I am glad to have gained applicable knowledge and practices and to have built a new network of valuable relations!
Dalia Andrulionienė
CEO at "Omberg Group"
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
For someone who has not studied management before, studying ISM is like putting together individual pieces of a puzzle into a global, comprehensive, three-dimensional picture of an organization. It encourages critical thinking, a well-informed choice of leadership style, and provides courage and support for authenticity, as well as excellent tools for self-education and self-knowledge.
Prof. Džilda Veličkienė
Head of the Outpatient Department of the Kaunas Clinic Endocrinology Clinic of the Lithuanian University Health Sciences Hospital
WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
When I chose to study at ISM's MA in Management, I did not expect that a business school could change my worldview. Such a transformation took place - together with knowledge came the ability to see new opportunities, enthusiasm, tools and like-minded people to implement new ideas. Here I realized that each of us has the power to change the world, and our career path is determined not only by knowledge and experience, but also by the ability to take responsibility for ourselves and others.
