Belgrade has become richer with a prestigious business school

The Rome Business School has recently opened its doors in Belgrade, awaiting the first generation of students in the Executive MBA program. It is an international business school based in Belgrade, a partner school of Rome Business School in Italy and the Universidad International de Valencia. The program, accredited with 60 ECTS credits and a double diploma, is designed to develop leaders ready to face the challenges and opportunities of the digital future, with 16 modules led by instructors and consultants with proven international corporate experience.

Ivana Višnjić is a Corporate Advisory Board of Rome Business School Belgrade member and a senior director at the consulting company Egzakta Advisory.

One of RBS's significant advantages is its focus on real business needs, which aims to bridge the gap between formal academic knowledge and business practice. To provide students with corporate experience and a sense of a natural business environment, as well as strategic guidance, an innovative approach, and quality content, RBS has formed a Corporate Advisory Board composed of eminent experts from various business fields. Mrs. Ivana Višnjić is one of them and, simultaneously, a senior director at the consulting company Egzakta Advisory.

Mrs. Višnjić, how did establishing a prestigious business school in Belgrade come about?

This project brought together a group of enthusiasts and professionals from various business fields who genuinely believe in the power and importance of education, continuous improvement, and learning. Our future economic and social growth should have a solid foundation in an education strategy focused on adult education. Unlike the previous practice, where most students stopped personal development after graduation, we want to promote an active approach to continuous learning and progress in an innovative and quality way. The idea was to establish a business-oriented school that would contribute to the growth of a quality business community in Serbia and Southeastern Europe. RBS will strive to connect educated and successful business individuals through the official school program, a wide range of informal events, and networking opportunities. The Corporate Advisory Board is a crucial pillar for aligning our students with the real needs of the business environment.

It's a very complex educational system aimed at people with enough knowledge and experience who want to enhance their skills and management of companies.

How can companies and individuals benefit from investing in education like the Executive MBA?

Executive MBA programs are known for developing leadership and business skills. It's a complex educational system aimed at people with enough knowledge and work experience to enhance their skills and learn more about managing companies. The modules of the Executive MBA program are carefully designed to develop future leaders through state-of-the-art tools led by internationally recognized professors and international managers. By working on case studies, students gain insights into the strategic perspectives of all business functions and the "big picture" goals of all companies. It is well known that most MBA students experience faster career advancement. In other words, Executive MBA program graduates not only increase their salaries and earning potential but there is also a higher likelihood of reaching higher management positions or starting their own companies. One of the most valuable aspects of the Executive MBA program is the opportunity for networking, knowledge acquisition, and the exchange of perspectives among participants. All students bring tremendous value to each other.

On the other hand, supporting employee education through the Executive MBA program is one of the best investments any company can make. Through the Executive MBA program, employees will develop advanced skills and acquire new knowledge that will immediately enhance their competencies. Employers will be rewarded with highly motivated talents who develop strategic thinking, leadership abilities, and valuable perspectives on innovative approaches and global trends.
