- 3. DEGREE • Formal • Expensive • Time constraint • Team effort • Title is timeless EXPERIENCE • Informal • Depends (Certification, Trainings) • Time /~ Efforts • Skills are short-term QUANDARY
- 5. THE GOLDEN CIRCLE How Some organizations know HOW they do it. These are the things that make them special or set them apart from their competition. What Every organization on the planet knows WHAT they do. These are products they sell or the services they offer. Why Very few organizations know WHY they do what they do. WHY is not about making money. That’s a result. It’s a purpose, cause or belief. It’s the very reason your organization exists.
- 6. MOTIVATIONS? • As Students • Not getting a better job | Better job prospects • Want to “learn” further | Finish until PhD | External pressure • Continue in Research • As Professionals • Better remuneration • Promotion • Switch career ladder | Cross expertise promotion
- 7. MOTIVATIONS? • Utter Requirement • Research career in organizations • Specialist in highly regulated professions (medical) • Educationalist • Limited public knowledge (aeronautics, nuclear physicist)
- 8. MOTIVATIONS? • Indirect benefits • Points towards immigration • Edge advantage in resume • Lingo of the trade • Historic reasons / decisions of the field • Communication • LEARN!
- 9. HOW PART • Better Universities ~ knowledge • Do what you love • Decide on type of Masters (Research vs Coursework)
- 10. WHAT TO DO IN MASTERS • Explore, go beyond • Make relationships • Understand the “why” part from teachers • Learn the dedication, commitment and sheer focus required to complete it gracefully
- 11. FINAL THOUGHTS • Is it compulsory to succeed? • Will it be beneficial at the end? • Everyone can do Masters? • Think why PhDs join google when google doesn’t require graduation!
Editor's Notes
- Team effort: Teacher – student, std – std, family – std, communities Time will be proportional to efforts (more efforts less time)
- Every single organization on the planet, even our own careers, always function on three levels. What we do, How we do it and Why we do it. When all those pieces are aligned, it gives us a filter through which to make decisions. It provides a foundation for innovation. When all three pieces are in balance, others will say, with absolute clarity and certainty, “We know who you are,” “We know what you stand for.” Whether they realize it or not, all great and inspiring leaders and organizations think, act and communicate just like each other…and it’s the complete opposite from everyone else.
- Very few people and organizations can clearly articulate WHY they do what they do. Why is a purpose, a cause or a belief. It provides a clear answer to Why we get out of bed in the morning, Why our company even exists and why that should matter to anyone else. Making money is NOT a Why. Revenues, profits, salaries and other monetary measurements are simply results of what we do. The Why inspires us.
- Communication (written, verbal, presentations, etc)
- How to go about your Masters: Better Universities will force you to study (will NOT teach you) Look for scholarships or research grants
