Podcast Transcript

HOST: Welcome to today's podcast, where we're excited to dive into the world of finance and business growth. I'm your host, and joining me is Professor Rachel Lee, the program director for the Undergraduate Certificate in Unleashing Financial Growth with Blue Ocean Strategies. Rachel, thanks for being here! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm thrilled to share the benefits of our innovative program. HOST: For our listeners who may not be familiar, can you tell us a bit about Blue Ocean Strategies and how they apply to finance and business growth? GUEST: Absolutely. Blue Ocean Strategies is a revolutionary approach that focuses on creating new market space, rather than competing in crowded industries. It's about thinking outside the box and finding untapped opportunities for growth. In our program, we teach students how to apply these strategies to drive innovation, make informed business decisions, and unlock financial growth. HOST: That sounds incredibly empowering. What kinds of practical applications can students expect to learn in the program? GUEST: Our program is designed to be highly interactive, with case studies, simulations, and group projects that allow students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. For example, we might analyze a company like Uber, which disrupted the taxi industry by creating a new market space. Students will learn how to identify and capitalize on similar opportunities in their own industries. HOST: I love that example. What about career opportunities? What kinds of roles can graduates expect to pursue after completing the program? GUEST: Our graduates have gone on to excel in a wide range of roles, including financial analyst, business development manager, and startup founder. The skills and knowledge they gain in our program are highly transferable and in-demand by employers. Plus, our network of like-minded professionals is a valuable resource for students looking to launch their careers. HOST: That's fantastic. Can you tell us about some of the success stories from your graduates? GUEST: We have many inspiring stories of graduates who have applied Blue Ocean Strategies to achieve remarkable success. For example, one of our graduates founded a sustainable energy startup that's now a leader in its industry. Another graduate used the strategies to develop a innovative financial product that's being adopted by major banks. HOST: Wow, those are incredible stories. What advice would you give to someone who's considering enrolling in the program? GUEST: I would say that if you're looking to transform your approach to finance and business growth, this program is the perfect catalyst for your success. Be prepared to think creatively, challenge your assumptions, and develop a new mindset that will serve you well throughout your career.
