現在， 請先看專訪系列的下一位訪問對象：

Haas Director of Admissions: Stephanie Fujii (SF)



CA: What is the one area of your program that you wish applicants knew more
about?

SF: We want incoming students to understand just how real and palpable the
focus on innovation is throughout the Berkeley MBA curriculum and experience.

Berkeley Innovative Leader Development (BILD) is a connecting theme that
runs through the entire program. The process starts with the careful
selection of our students, who have demonstrated leadership and exemplify the
school's defining principles: Question the Status Quo, Confidence Without
Attitude, Students Always and Beyond Yourself. Built on a specific set of
competencies (for example, experimentation, influencing without authority)
that are infused and emphasized throughout core and elective courses, BILD
leverages these capabilities and our distinctive culture to develop leaders
who are ready to meet the challenges we face today and identify the
challenges we'll face tomorrow, to define what's next. Regardless of the
industry or function our students choose, they will have the foundation and
skills to bring new ways of thinking and framing problems to all levels of
the organizations they join and lead.

Central to BILD is a required experiential course that enables students to
hone their leadership skills in a real-life setting. Berkeley MBA students
choose one or more options from ten diverse programs, many of which are
unique to Berkeley-Haas or first of their kind. These hands-on experiences
allow our students to take what they've learned in the classroom and apply
these frameworks and capabilities in the real world. We also have a unique
required course, “Problem Finding, Problem Solving,” which teaches our
students different modes of thinking/approaches (critical thinking, design
thinking, systems thinking and creative problem solving) to tackle big
problems. In this course, students synthesize data and develop tangible
solutions through a process of framing and re-framing the challenge and
testing their various ideas. We've heard from students that they have
immediately used what they learned in this course in their internships, case
competitions, jobs.



Stay tuned for more interview excerpts from the admissions directors of other
top MBA programs!

Best,
Kevin
