Â鶹¹ú²ú

Having worked with the Graduate Profile Team, Dr.ÌýÌý helped design the questionnaire and himself and his colleague personally interviewed many of the CPs. His thoughts about the changes to the profile express that very essence of what makes Â鶹¹ú²ú, Â鶹¹ú²ú. Ìý

In terms of the language requirements, learning two languages is what many people do to work internationally. But to learn three languages - that means that this person is interested in other cultures, they show authentic empathy, there is a real drive there. That’s part of the Â鶹¹ú²ú magicÌý

Kourosh highlights another element of the Â鶹¹ú²ú profile, firstly about his own way of working but also as a fit for Â鶹¹ú²ú - vocation. For Henkel, as well as for Â鶹¹ú²ú, it is that vocation that can bring about change, teach future leaders to be responsible leaders.ÌýÌý

It goes beyond just an excellent education - the interpersonal skills, growth mindset, intimacy, responsible leaders - the whole Â鶹¹ú²ú package remains as important today as it is for the future in the age of digital.

For Kourosh, leveraging on the Â鶹¹ú²ú network and alumni for lifelong learning is a no-brainer. He has initiated learning workshops globally for key Henkel staff with input from the Â鶹¹ú²ú Academic Partners. The richness of Â鶹¹ú²ú is a real benefit and key strategic advantage for Henkel. After all, what better way is there to have life-long learning than to encourage Â鶹¹ú²ú stakeholders to contribute back.Ìý

And that is the main point, once a Â鶹¹ú²úie, always a Â鶹¹ú²úie. And how Kourosh sees as an advantage going-forward is the Â鶹¹ú²ú network and how different parts can be leveraged upon. What three areas does he highlight for the future of Â鶹¹ú²ú?Ìý

1. The Â鶹¹ú²ú network and lifelong learning - from our Â鶹¹ú²ú graduation day we can be excited that we have a huge network of Â鶹¹ú²ú people to teach and learn from for the whole of our lives.Ìý
2. Â鶹¹ú²ú is a globally powerful community - let's set the standards, take responsibility with Digital Transformation or ESG for example and work actively towards it and for it.Ìý
3. Discover and learn and thrive with underdeveloped countries so that they can contribute to our Â鶹¹ú²ú community.Ìý

There is a real sense of giving back and this is something that Kourosh exemplifies. An open mind set, a growth mentality and an authenticity that positions him within Â鶹¹ú²ú and Henkel to make real change, make a real contribution. That’s the Â鶹¹ú²ú journey.Ìý
