A. Introduction
A significant number of EMBA Global students, more than 40%, are able to secure at least
some kind of financial support from their employer for their studies. The EMBA Global is
jointly developed by London Business School and Columbia Business School to inspire and
cultivate entrepreneurial thinking and a truly global perspective. This programme is thus a
particularly attractive option for sponsoring organisations since employees will have the
opportunity to study and network in two incredibly dynamic cities – London, New York, – and
study part-time to bring knowledge and perspectives from the programme and their fellow
students back to their workplace.
Drawing on the experience of past students who have secured sponsorship, from blue-chip
banks, SMEs and the public sector, we have compiled this guide to help you create a business
case to present to your organisation. Feedback from our students suggests that creating a
coherent and compelling business case is a pivotal tool when approaching any organisation
for sponsorship.
One EMBA Global alumnus, Chairman at an IT company in London, mentions how
receiving company sponsorship to study the EMBA Global benefited both him and his
employer:
“From the classroom, I developed new techniques in decision-making, leadership development
and strategic management, and my company benefited a lot from the infusion of new ideas.
They were surprised at how practical the knowledge is. Personally, I am grateful and proud
that I was offered the opportunity to join the programme. I consider this to be a privilege – a
great experience, which certainly changed my life."
Many companies, when approached with such a request may be asking, ‘why should we make
this investment?’ and ‘what’s in it for us?’ This guide can help you answer these questions
and clearly convey the benefits an EMBA Global from London Business School and Columbia
Business School can provide to you and your organisation.
We hope the following provides a useful framework upon which to build a solid case. There
is no guaranteed success, but thorough preparation and perseverance has paid dividends for
our sponsored students.
We hope you are successful!
B. Return on investment
Make sure you clearly articulate to your Line Manager your expected benefits to the company.
Define measurements to assess how your contribution will increase during or after the
programme in terms of skills and knowledge acquired, that will benefit both the organisation
and you as an individual.
It’s important to highlight that the EMBA Global at London Business School and Columbia
Business School is a part-time Executive MBA programme designed for dynamic professionals
who have global responsibilities and a minimum of 5 years of managerial experience. This
gives you a genuine edge and enables you to improve your workplace performance from day
one as you apply each new classroom concept with direct relevance to you and your
organisation. Whether your goal is to keep your career on the fast-track, or you are
looking to move from a specialist role into general management, EMBA Global can offer
you the knowledge and networks to achieve your goals, by equipping you with insights,
confidence, and innovative international business practices to operate successfully anywhere
in the world.
On the curriculum side, there is an emphasis on big picture business skills. The courses
will enable you to build a strong base of knowledge in all areas of general management
and develop the leadership skills that will set you apart throughout your career. For example,
the Leadership and Organisational Change core course offers you practical tools in order
to improve your ability to influence, negotiate, and lead changes in your organisation. Core
courses and electives can be taken in London, New York, or Dubai, and they are
respectively offered by London Business School and Columbia Business School.
An EMBA-Global alumnus, Head of Saving Banks at a commercial bank in Germany, mentions
how the electives practically helped him solve issues at work:
"Many of the electives, such as Managing Corporate Turnarounds, cover real life experiences,
which directly address new challenges I face developing my business unit. The electives are
often ‘turbocharged’ with cases presented by the people who made the turnaround possible,
which makes the class even more interesting. Another example of a particularly relevant
elective would be Behavioural Finance, analysing fundamental market insight and collapsed
market participants that do not fit into classical descriptions."
To conclude, it is significant to pinpoint the overall benefits for your organisation of
establishing links with London Business School. As their ambassador on campus, you can be
the bridge linking your organisation to world-class faculty, major global events and the global
alumni network.
B.1. Key programme features
Once you have defined the business need, the next step is to conduct your analysis. Support
your choice of programme by identifying the most relevant components to your organisation.
• Company project
The company project is done in co-operation with your employer and supervised by a member
of faculty, and is normally based on a company-specific issue. In general, project work will be
linked to your workplace, and will be of benefit not only to you, but also to your department
and organisation as a whole. The project and corresponding management report can be
discussed with Senior Managers and can be tailor-made to reflect strategic areas currently
needing analysis in your business. Additionally, the report can be used as a launchpad to
pursue areas of interest within your organisation, and explore areas that you would be
interested in working in afterwards.
This confidential report could give your organisation access to some of the best faculty in the
world to resolve or support any issues raised. Potential project topics might include:
– launching a learning and teaching platform
– private equity proposition for residential real estate investments
– improving CLV through data analytics
– investment strategy in emerging markets
– marketing plan for a niche online venture
• International Assignment and seminar
An exciting part of the EMBA Global programme is the international assignments and
seminars. They will give you the opportunity to broaden your global perspective by working
within real organisations and meeting senior industry leaders, in a choice of international
locations. Accompanied by a member of faculty and working in small teams, you spend a week
working closely with an organisation on a real business project and gain fresh insight into
international business practices. The range of week-long, faculty-led international
assignments and seminars has included:
– an economics assignment in China and South America
– a business development project in Moscow
– a cultural change project in South Africa
– an innovation and adaptation project in India
– a brand management project in Germany
As well as developing your global perspective in a key international business location,
international assignments and seminars also give you the opportunity to broaden your
network. You will travel and work alongside students from other Executive MBA programmes
at London and Columbia Business Schools' and connect with members of the alumni networks
in these cities.
An EMBA Global alumnus, Chief Budget Officer at a development bank in Tunisia,
mentions how the global nature of the programme enhanced his leadership skills:
"EMBA Global offers a unique professional, academic, cultural, and social experience: the
demanding lifestyle of a truly international executive. For me, travelling every month
between four continents, ensuring business continuity while being away from work 25% of
the time, and dealing with the sheer diversity of the programme puts to the test your
intellectual nimbleness and physical stamina. Such an experience profoundly shapes you as a
more insightful, resourceful and inspirational leader."
• Peer group
You’ll study with high-potential, globally-focused executives and managers representing a
wide range of nationalities and industries. They bring variety and depth to the EMBA Global
experience, learning from each other as well as from faculty members. Each class brings
together experienced managers, professionals and executives from around the world.
They are a diverse and highly engaged group of individuals who are working at the very
forefront of the rapidly changing world economy.
Typical class profile:
– 20 nationalities
– 13 industry sectors: finance, industry, IT, energy, consulting, military, architecture,
law, leisure, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, public sector etc.
– 10 job functions: general management, finance, new business development,
marketing, engineering, operations, legal, medical, etc.
An EMBA Global alumna, director at a hospitality consulting firm in Vietnam, mentions a
few highlights on the diversity of her peer group:
"Having worked in emerging markets for the last 10 years, it was great to connect with other
organisations and see how businesses work in other parts of the world. Everyone on the
programme was very different, not only culturally, but also in terms of work experience and
sector."
• Network
As a student and graduate of the EMBA Global you will:
– have lifelong access to blue-chip corporate partners and their industry network
– become part of the LBS community made up of 97,000 alumni in over 150 countries
– learn from a highly diverse and senior peer group coming from 20 different
countries.

B.2. Programme structure
The EMBA Global curriculum is comprehensive, rigorous and demanding. The timetable
enables highly-focused learning, minimising your time spent away from the office and
ensuring optimum learning impact.
Key elements of the EMBA Global programme:
– the programme begins in May and runs for 20 months
– core courses are taught in six or seven-day residential blocks, once a
month, alternating between London and New York
– both schools make an equal contribution to the teaching of the core courses, with
faculty travelling to teach wherever the class is in residence
– you have access to the elective portfolios of both London Business School and
Columbia Business School
– you also study in one or more other markets as part of the international seminars or
assignments
– the collaborative learning environment means you learn from the experiences of
your fellow students, as well as from faculty.
B.3. Recommendation
After you have gathered specific evidence that our EMBA Global programme will benefit you
and your company, you will need to ensure that you highlight the aspects of your personal
development that are most important in the context of the business need and your career
development plans.
General:
‘I believe that it is the right time for me to pursue an EMBA Global programme because
I do not wish to restrict myself to technical management positions. The programme will
increase my opportunities to enter the more commercial side of the global business. Although
I have the necessary industry experience and knowledge, I cannot progress to more senior
positions without the transnational commercial and marketing skills acquired through an
EMBA Global. The EMBA Global will equip me with a broad range of business acumen in
order to manage projects and work at a strategic level anywhere in the world within our
organisation.’
Specific:
‘As a Global Head of… in X department, I am tasked with delivering on…’
‘To date, within our organisation I have achieved…’
‘In order to progress within the organisation, it is vital I develop X skills…’
If your organisation offers internal development programmes or even external training with
other institutions, you may need to clarify why an EMBA Global would be preferable to a
number of short development programmes. In this case, you should emphasise the ability
to learn from world-leading faculty who, alongside teaching, consult and sit on the boards
of major multinationals and conduct ground- breaking research in their fields of expertise.
The rigour of the programme sets it apart from shorter courses, as well as the opportunity to
learn from and collaborate with your diverse and experienced peer group. Once you have
graduated, remember that you and your company have access to a powerful and influential
professional network, from three world renowned business schools, for life.
C. Asking for employer support
I. Financial support
Think carefully about the level of financial contribution you require, making sure you have up
to date information on tuition fees. You may also need to request additional funds for
accommodation, travel and materials. Think about different funding models so you have a
“package” to request, and can offer different positioning. Outside of 100 per cent funding,
students on recent intakes have been financially supported in a variety of ways, including
matching funding, percentage splits, reduced hours, salary sacrifice, tuition reimbursement
at key stages or after successful completion of parts one and two, and bonus payments.
The agreement you finally come to will most likely be the result of a back and forth negotiation
between you and your employer. The monetary contribution you receive is most
commonly dependent on how long you are going to be contractually obliged to remain with
the organisation. If you require a significant level of funding, be prepared to be very
flexible with this detail.
II. Time
You will need to show how you will manage any time out of the office, and what you will do
to minimise the impact on your team or clients. Allow time off to complete studies, but also
be aware that deadlines may conflict with business needs. Indicate clearly in your request the
extent of the time required, and whether you will be using any personal time (agreed study
days, unpaid leave, vacation, lieu time) for this. It may be helpful to put the detailed schedules
into an appendix, and to give a short table within the business case showing the requirements
for the EMBA Global and, if appropriate, a comparison with any other programmes.
Please highlight the fact that you will be studying part-time, and will thus remain in fulltime
employment. Since you will be applying what you learn at the workplace, this is a
very important negotiating tool. Your potential absence from work is likely to be considered
as much of an investment for your employer as any financial contribution they make.
III. Commitment and Conclusion
Your statement of commitment is critical and should show your commitment to the
organisation, and to being a successful student on the programme. There are a variety of ways
of demonstrating this commitment, and as previously explained, agreements will most
typically encompass lock-in periods, reimbursement of tuition and other costs. The statement
of commitment ensures that you take responsibility for your learning and repay the
investment that has been made for you by your company.

The team-based approach to the
curriculum really excited me. For
the first six months of the program,
while you’re going through the
core foundational courses, you’re
assigned to a team. Our team was
incredibly diverse. What I thought
was really beautiful about that was
that everyone brought a unique
approach and perspective to the
problem. It was challenging at
times because you needed to find
common ground, but I think it
made the quality of the product
and the learning that much better.”

I chose to pursue my MBA at Smith because
of the team-oriented curriculum, the caliber
of the alumni network, and the renowned
academic vigour of the school. I’m pleased to
say that these criteria were met and exceeded.
Prior to Smith, I was playing professional
football in the CFL and working as a project
director for a non-profit. I used the MBA as
a catalyst to make a transition that many
athletes find difficult, and with the support of
the program I was able to thrive during this
precarious time of my life.”

interact and work effectively with a

ultimately helped me transition

“I first entered the Haskayne MBA program
as a way to broaden my horizons and to
add to my engineering knowledge base.
The MBA reshaped the way I see the world,
and things that were hidden to me before now
became clear. I am fond of saying that my
engineering degree taught me how to make
things, and the MBA taught me why to make
things. Without the business knowledge and
experience I gained through the program,
the reasons for engineering and technology
innovation could still elude me.”
