Statement of Motivation for a DBA
I believe I am now at a point in my life when I need to organize the knowledge and experience cumulated over the past 20 years, deepening into studies of an specific area in which I have always been interested and worked with: transformation and the role of the board of directors. My experience has made me realize the big challenges for Boards and executives on implementing effective transformation strategies. In most cases, Boards were not fully ready to push or support senior management into the necessary changes. That is the main motivation to apply for the DBA program: to dedicate myself to deepen the knowledge in that matter through a more consistent and in-depth study, which seems the best way to achieve what I want.
