“For the second time, iaelyon International MBA students had the opportunity to participate to the Leadership Lab organized by Kingston Business School. The exchanges, learning experience and networking have been intense and enriching. The seminar is an excellent addition to iaelyon program and allows participants to immerse themselves in an international environment by going to a neighboring country".

“It was a very enriching 2- day experience that allowed me to better understand how IA and RPA could help each organization to improve its processes and increase the added value of its employees. All this on the wonderful campus of Kingston University. I would like to warmly thank the Kingston team for its hospitality.”

Vincent Boitte, 2023 IMBA Student 

  

" The experience was very interesting as it allows to take a step back from the IMBA and to study a new subject in an extended multicultural environment with students and executives from different backgrounds. It was a great way to finish the IMBA academic year and I came back with ideas for my thesis and for my company. I found the case study on how to sell RPA solutions and the practical part on building a robot very interesting.”
