2003 - 2008
Mould Services Supervisor
What I enjoyed most
about the program?
My achievements up to this point had been recognised
and I had been given this great opportunity to show
senior management what I was capable of. The
program gave participants maximum exposure to the
leaders of Tyco, to hear their stories and receive
personal advice. The plant visits were very enjoyable; I
believe they form an important part of the program. The
graduation cruise was a great close out to such an
intense program that was well planned and delivered.
What I found most
challenging about
the program?
Getting through the presentations and comprehensive
assignments in such a short timeframe, however I think
the fact that it was so challenging is what gave me such
a sense of achievement once completed.

What I enjoyed most
about the program?
The content of the course was very appropriate at that
stage of my career and the financial & administration
training certainly set me up to take on senior
management roles. The networking allowed for different
parts of Tyco to work together cohesively and the
business I worked for had a huge benefit from this. A
great program and I highly recommend to anyone with
career aspirations.

Balancing your normal work load with the assignments

I came away from the course with a broader
understanding of general management principals and
techniques, and some great friendships and business
contacts within Tyco that I still call upon today. I really
appreciated the opportunity and the vision the company
had to invest in its people this way.
For me it was finding the extra time in an already busy
life to complete all of the assignments. The workload
outside of the course attendance was much greater than
I expected and resulted in many long nights at home to
complete assignments.

I very much enjoyed the workshop approach, and the
contacts I made with other parts of our business.
Meeting the CEO and senior executives gave a good
insight to the workings of the organisation as a whole.
The MDP certainly helped to broaden my view of the
organisation and also to the ways in which we can
improve our business. I have no doubt at all that this was
the most effective training I have done since completing
my degree.
Whilst the assignments required some dedication of time
to complete, consistently the most challenging and
rewarding aspect was simply the inward reflection of
your own performance and the recognition of how to
best implement what was being learned.

Combining in class learning and afterhours socialising
with colleagues from all areas of Tyco was a great mix.
Since the course I have come across people from our
MDP class in various instances and due to the program
it has made working together very easy.
Completing the assignments in addition to the regular
workload was probably the most challenging aspect of
the class. Although this was the most challenging, many
of these assignments were very related to work
situations and it was just a matter of finding time to get
them done.

Networking and the general content of the program. The
opportunity to meet other colleagues that I deal with over
the phone and by email was valuable. The program
included both practical and theory which I could apply to
my job and the knowledge that I gained from it really
helped develop my career further.
One of the challenges was time, as most of the
participants were still required to be in touch with the
business during the course. However we were all
committed to the program and invested the time on our
careers.

Enjoyed the learning experience and meeting others in

receiving a diploma of Business was very satisfying to
this day.
The most challenging thing was to find enough time to
complete the assignments on time and keeping up with

Time involved conducting after hour’s exercises. We

treated it as such. Also perhaps no follow-up with some
ongoing on-line learning to further develop one after
having completed the course. Learning is not a once off,
but continuous.

What I enjoyed most
about the program?
Meeting participants from other parts of Tyco and
learning about their businesses; relating the theory learnt
in the program to not only our work environment, but
also getting an appreciation for how it can be applied
within other businesses. The plant tours were also very
beneficial and the Graduation Ceremony was a lot of fun
and made all the hard work worthwhile.
What I found most
challenging about
the program?
Getting the assignments completed on-time was most
challenging. With the best intentions of getting an early
start on the assignments, I (as did most of the
participants) left them until the last minute and had many
a late nights completing them – which was a very vivid
and painful reminder of my days at Uni.

Meeting personnel from other business units and

interesting. I got to see firsthand Operational initiatives
in the manufacturing plants. The course content and
delivery was very relevant and interesting. I have
referred back to my course notes a few times now to
help me deal with work related issues effectively.
What I found most
challenging about
the program?
I was forced out of my comfort zone; meeting new
people and working in teams. I became more confident
to the level that I was volunteering to do the
presentations during the workshops. In the end, I got
selected to deliver a talk on our experiences through
the journey of MDP at the Business of Diploma Award

The most enjoyable aspect of the MDP program was to

provided a firsthand opportunity to better understand and
appreciate everyone's individual business and the way in
which they overcome particular obstacles and
challenges.
Within my group the completion of some of the 'in work'
modules were difficult as to obtaining the firsthand
experience. For instance the requirement as to quality
and OHS differed markedly within the different business
units, at that time, as did the actual exposure for such
matters for each individual depending on their own
particular scope of work

The program gives that sense of the company being a
large organisation. It gives employees the chance to
learn about other businesses and see how it fits
together. Sometimes due to the “remote” locations some
members of the company don’t even know what’s “out
there” and thus it becomes a very motivational program
for employees.

What I enjoyed most
about the program?
I really enjoyed “the Plant Visit”, where I could directly
see other Business Units facility. By seeing them, I can
bring the good things home and implement them in Tyco
Eurapipe Indonesia, such as “5S” and the way they run
the production. Overall, I liked the MDP program
because I could meet a lot of people from other
Business Units where we could share our experience
and knowledge. I also met with the Management Team
of Tyco.
What I found most
challenging about
the program?
The most challenging thing was the assessments. I was
the only one from Asia, and some regulation (such as
safety regulation) that I learned from MDP are not
applicable in Indonesia. However, for the assessment
purposes, because my workplace is in Indonesia, I used
Indonesian regulation and it was accepted by the
lecturer.

What I found enjoyable during the MDP program was
meeting and working with people from all divisions of
Tyco and the opportunity to visit the various Tyco
facilities that were accessible to the course locations.
The challenging part for me was organising the time
away from work at the courses and fitting in the
assignments with an already busy work schedule.

What I enjoyed most
about the program?
I enjoyed the group discussions with Tyco colleagues
and the relativeness of the content to my position.
Listening to the views and feedback from people from
various parts of our business really helped me with the
understanding of the course and their roles within our
business. I also enjoyed the networking aspect and
relationships that have been developed with the team.
What I found most
challenging about in
the program?
The assignments were the most challenging aspect. As
there was uncertainty with the amount of material we
were to provide with each project, I felt obliged to provide
a lot of detail that may not have been necessary. These
assignments involved a lot of my personnel time and on
top of my usual workload made time management
challenging – it was all worth it though.

The most enjoyable facet of the program was the

We were able to gain an insight into how the other
businesses operated and things that did and didn’t work
for them.
In my position at the time it was often challenging to
relate the examples and cases discussed with the

What I enjoyed most
about the program?
The most enjoyable part of the MDP was getting
together with colleagues from across Tyco Flow
Control. We learned from each other in interactive
sessions that provided many interesting and entertaining
experiences. The course content covered many aspects
of my working environment, however it was working with
colleagues from across the business that provided the
best insight into the relevance of course work in broader
terms.
What I found most
challenging about
the program?
Completing assignments between the workshops was
quite challenging. I do not have any direct reports which
made it difficult to assist with completing some of the
assessment tasks. However, I found that the skills
acquired in this course have been very useful for
working in team environments that I am regularly
involved in.

The MDP program provided me with information that
was very relevant to my position. I enjoyed the class
group and dinners with our managers.
The schedule of the classes through the day is very
intense. This is because there is no real break between
lectures; and after the long day of classes/workshops we
had to rush to dinner. I will suggest to allow for 1 or 2
hours break before dinner so the students can refresh
and answer work emails, etc.

Was good to get to meet a number of different people
from sister companies whom I would likely not have
come across if it had not been for the MDP course. I
also enjoyed the skills and ideas I learned during the
course and now the challenge is to incorporate them into
my daily work
Trying to find time to complete the coursework was a
challenge. Also taking the 3 days out of usual work
schedule was difficult due to the sites still operating
while I was away so was necessary to still be talking
with Clients and dealing with any site issues while away
on the course.
