'I have truly enjoyed all the webinars and online events where EFMD had shown its flexibility and strength to quickly adapt to changes and where everyone gave their best. EFMD has shown to all of us how crisis can be used as an opportunity and taught us at the same time how important it is that we go back to our core values and life mission of serving each other through educational lenses. Throughout EFMD events we have also encouraged each other to have even more hope that we are doing things well and that we all have common aim to nourish business education and management development. And, that in this important mission, we are not alone.'

Zrinka Gregov

Senior Lecturer, VERN University

'Cooperating with EFMD has been a much rewarding experience. As an Academic and business consultant, I appreciated the compelling purpose of EFMD to be on the verge of developments in education and integrate business practice and academia, for the benefit of all stakeholders. I am a dedicated reader of EFMD's publications and I always find something new and intriguing that helps me become a better professional. I appreciate that research published is relevant and provides extremely useful insights into how the future will be in terms of business education and its impact on the performance of people.'

Being part of the EFMD community is very enriching for an institution. Apart from targeting higher standards and engaging in continuous improvement for business schools or programs, it also provides a connection to other valuable institutions. For those who are just starting, it is a long but fruitful journey to become a much better business school/program. For those schools that have already achieved accreditation, it is a sense of satisfaction that many improvements have already been accomplished. Whether you are new to this journey or not, the ultimate goal is to continuously improve and become better regardless of what your current standing is. It is an opportunity to stay on top of the latest developments in business education. 
 
As the Dean of the Bang College of Business, I find it to be very important to share our EFMD accreditation journey and experiences with other institutions in Kazakhstan as well as the Central Asian region. This way, we hope to guide and inspire other schools and programs to take on this accreditation journey and contribute to the improvement of business education in Kazakhstan and beyond. This is also the wish of Dr. Bang, President of Kimep University. I believe this online workshop will be an important milestone towards achieving this goal.”
