AIHM HIGHER

As an educator, I work with passionate and brilliant young people every day.

At educational institutions like AIHM, we learn as our students learn, because we take a lifelong approach to our personal and professional development. In settings like this you can enjoy a journey of constant discovery and fresh inspiration. In many ways, the emerging generation of future leaders stand out as radically different from those who came before. Academic research studies and the anecdotal experience of professors and others who interact closely with today’s young adults confirm that when it comes to those who are now entering the workforce their aspirations, values and career goals stand in stark contrast to the generations that have come before.

Dashes of saffron, violet, fern green, steel blue and fiery red make their signatures on a moon-shaped canvas. A badminton shuttlecock flies through the air. An electric guitar electrifies the atmosphere. Yuzu citrus does a tango on your tastebuds. You refresh with a perfectly poached prawn wonton and cross your fingers for luck in anticipation of your top pick from the raffle prizes. These notes combined to create the experience at the Harmony Gala, a memory-making night composed and orchestrated by AIHM’s exceptional students!

At the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management (AIHM) in academic association with Les Roches, our academic team has the opportunity to work with brilliant young leaders from around the world. As we teach, train and mentor, we are inspired by the dreams and aspirations of AIHM students.

In some ways, students’ energetic and ambitious mindsets are familiar. Every young generation possesses a vision for their future. In other ways, it’s apparent the next generation entering the workforce is very different from those of us already well into our careers.

Imagine that you are holding the steering wheel of a race car, speeding down the track with the engine roaring.  As you accelerate at incredible speed, the wind soars around you and the air smells electric. One of your competitors is gaining on you. Then you rush ahead.

In January of 2023, Christian Terwiesch—Co-Director of the Mack Institute of Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business School—published a fascinating white paper: “Would ChatGPT Get a Wharton MBA?” Terwiesch performed an experiment. He challenged ChatGPT 3 to take the final exam for a sample Wharton MBA course. The results? ChatGPT would have earned a grade of a B to B-.

In June 2023, we officially launched AIHM’s Executive Education programme with the mission of “Empowering Asia’s Business Professionals to Achieve Excellence”.
