The centre provides a unique learning opportunity with the added value of networking with executives from other industries and cultivating their knowledge and insights during the programmes.

Mr. Asif Saeed, from Atlas Honda Ltd said, “The experiential-based learning model is the highlight and makes the programme stand out from any other training I have attended. Executive education at REDC-LUMS is ahead of any other institution in Pakistan.”
