There are so many ways of doing business. One way to find out whether you are doing it right or wrong is to look around you and learn what the champions are doing. The revelation I had with ISM was that people coming from totally different industries can inspire each other, because fundamentally the challenges are similar. I find it a great opportunity to be so close to the people who have proved to be successful and to have them as tutors, it’s an experience that makes me feel richer with every training day. Bottom line, for me ISM is about sharing experiences, shaping each other and building relationships with great people.
