| Professor Denis Kobzev |
All elements of our business model must fit together to deliver best value to our customers:
this includes the selection of professional educators we place in the classroom.
I would like to introduce Denis Kobzev, a thoughtful friend and gifted educator who has earned the respect
of our Otago MBA management team and students. Denis holds the positions of Director of Business Education, Leeds Trinity University, UK; Associate Fellow, Operations Management Group, Warwick Business School, UK; and Visiting Professor in our Otago MBA: teaching Operational Excellence.
Denis brings a broad base of global, practical knowledge into the classroom through his experiences in senior management positions at international giants Procter & Gamble and Schering Plough. Denis can also boast prior involvement in business / development projects in Europe, Middle East and Africa in collaboration with corporate partners (e.g., ASDA, Aushan, Migros, IBM, Accenture, HSBC and BT Group), as well as the United Nations and World Health Organization.
Denis has aided in the design of leading management programmes in Germany, Russia, Norway and Australia. He views the active exchange of knowledge among experienced professionals as "the heart of a good MBA programme." Last year, Denis designed an experiment in collaboration with Olga Meglinskaya, our Curriculum Delivery Manager, to promote critical reasoning through peer assessment. He asked our students to sport a different (uncomfortable) hat and critique the reasoning of peers, and thereby learn to refine their own thinking abilities. The experiment was a valuable contribution to our programme.
We depend on the talents of gifted educators like Denis to
deliver best value to our MBA students.
Cheers, David
