Johnson & Johnson China’s Post

Check out how Johnson & Johnson brings growth to early talents’ career journey 👀

There's consistently a significant demand for top talent within organizations. Conversely, high-quality individuals are constantly seeking positions that align with their skills and passions. So, what prevents these two groups from connecting? Numerous factors contribute, but a key obstacle is that individuals often lack a comprehensive understanding of the available opportunities. As they near the completion of their studies, many students find themselves unsure about the primary roles and career trajectories within their field. This is precisely why we've launched our "Career Pathways and Skills in Supply Chain" guest lecture series. Today, Dr. Sara Babaee, hosted Kinaxis in her MBA class at University Canada West. Kinaxis' Business Consultant, Valencia Davis, talked to the students about the career landscape in the supply chain (the class was lucky to have her knowledge and passion on board😉). Students engaged in the conversations enthusiastically and asked great questions! I find meaning in what I do in #KianxisAcademicProgram, and what could be more satisfying than having a reason to get up every morning and slightly change the world for the better?

As my Kellogg Executive MBA Global Network and Kellogg-Schulich Executive MBA students completed their M&A course yesterday, we discussed the following advice on how to think about the next steps in their careers: 1.     Take the next few months to absorb all of the exciting new ideas and experiences from their EMBA program then network within their current employer, as well as with new contacts, to map out potential new career directions they might consider. 2.     If they like the company and industry they are currently working in and can see themselves progressing and achieving their goals there, cultivate executive sponsors to help them lay out a plan to maximize their career opportunities. 3.     If they are using their EMBA degree to change careers, use the Career Change Framework, shown below, to migrate their career from the role and industry they work in now to the role and industry they want to be in. It is extremely hard to change both in one career move, so we discussed how to map out steps to transition through two or more moves. This can take some time, but the advice the students get from the networking from Step 1 will help them to gain valuable perspectives and mentorship to do this successfully. Best of luck to a wonderful cohort of students! #emba #careerchange

The correlation between outbound activities and MBA can be analyzed from various perspectives. Here are some key points that outline this relationship which I learned today: (1) Skill Development=Outbound activities such as team-building exercises, leadership challenges, and adventure sports can enhance soft skills like leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. These skills are crucial in MBA studies and future business careers. (2) Networking=Participating in outbound activities provides opportunities for MBA students to network with peers, faculty, and industry professionals in informal settings. This can lead to valuable connections and potential career opportunities. (3) Stress Management= MBA programs can be intense and stressful. Outbound activities offer a break from academic pressures, promoting mental well-being and better stress management, which can lead to improved academic performance. (4) Practical Application= Outbound activities often involve real-world challenges that require strategic thinking and decision-making. This hands-on experience can complement theoretical knowledge gained in MBA coursework, leading to a more holistic learning experience. (5) Personal Growth= Engaging in outbound activities can build resilience, adaptability, and confidence, contributing to personal growth. These qualities are essential for business leaders and are often nurtured during MBA studies. #IMTNagpur#PGDM(Marketing)

Are we teaching something fundamentally wrong in MBA colleges? As someone who has worked with many management trainees, I often hear that they want to move from sales to marketing. Unfortunately, the perception of sales as a purely transactional and pushy field persists in many textbooks. But let me give you a different perspective. Sales professionals are not only responsible for closing deals but also for developing a complete go-to-market plan, studying market share, and planning targets accordingly. Their more diverse career paths enable them to grow quickly.Sales professional contribute to brand visibility by establishing trade connections and securing space. Sales professionals are often innovative as they keep identifying new growth opportunities. So, the question is, are we doing a disservice to the next generation of business leaders by overlooking the value of sales? Perhaps it's time to reevaluate our understanding of sales and its crucial role in any organization. What do you think? #sales #marketing #MBA #businessleadership #iimudaipur Vikas Dua Balram Sharma Anubhav Bansal Ankur Seth Vivek Gupta Sampark Sachdeva Parveen Verma

"Unlocking the True Potential of MBA Graduates As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of management education, it's crucial to acknowledge a pressing concern. Many MBA graduates from technical colleges or non-core management institutions find themselves confined to sales or BDA roles, despite aspirations for more. This disparity stems from a lack of practical exposure and core management courses, leaving students unprepared for the industry. It's time to bridge this gap! Students are mostly force to study and pass exams as they are in 12th Grade , with no practicle exposure to the related industries and job market. Let's advocate for holistic learning experiences that combine theoretical foundations with hands-on training. Institutions and industry leaders must collaborate to empower students with the skills and knowledge required to thrive. Share your thoughts and experiences. Together, we can drive meaningful change and unlock the true potential of MBA graduates. #ManagementEducation #MBA #PracticalLearning #CareerDevelopment" Feel free to share!
