One of the great things about the Otago MBA is the mentor programme. As a full time student, you get access to a business leader in the local Dunedin community who has usually gone through the MBA programme. My mentor is David Frame who is a private banker at ANZ and a director of the Otago Chamber of Commerce. The mentors receive training to lead us MBA students 'out into the light' so to speak but it is up to us to initiate contact and engage with them. David and I had lunch on Friday and really got to know each other. It is really good to have someone outside the faculty who has an objective view of the world. I am sure he will share the highs and lows of this course with me as we catch up regularly.
