I think this was one of the best courses in the MBA program. I especially liked a few points:

1) Interactive that accompanied the theory. This approach allowed me to pass new information through myself and rethink some points (especially training with horses, as a passionate lover of instructions, I wondered if my love was justified)

2) Answers to questions from the audience in addition to the course (special thanks for the insight into Atlassian Jira)

The course "Project Management Office" at the HSPM MBA / EMBA:

I consider passing this course as part of the EMBA program “Project Management” at HSPM as useful as possible. Two main positive points that I would like to note:

1) The format of the training. Almost the only course that was not held in a lecture format. Interactive and exercises created a positive and developing atmosphere, helped to better assimilate the material.

The opportunity to discuss my current work situation and issues, receive feedback from the teacher was extremely useful. In particular, the discussion of expectations from the Project Management Office and the benefits of its launch, which we discussed in the format of a business game, helped in real life. I used many arguments when discussing the Project Management Office with the owner of the company where I work.

2) Fresh and new information on PM. Finally we got access to new materials and names. Many sources turned out to be more useful than the textbooks on PM, which were referred to by almost all teachers of the program.

This is the second course of the EMBA program, the knowledge from which I was able to immediately apply in my work.

It is a pity that it was the last one in our program, I could not fully use it for writing a thesis and choosing a topic.

Thanks to Andrey Malakhov and his team for this experience! Thank you for the involvement in the work tasks of the students, openness and willingness to share rich professional experience!

The course "Project Management Office" at the HSPM MBA / EMBA:

In October 2019, I happened to be a student of your course “Project Management Office” as part of the “Executive MBA” program at the Higher School of Economics.

The knowledge gained is:

  • relevant in relation to modern ideas about building a project management system,
  • applicable in the practical activities of enterprises in the rocket and space industry,
  • useful for students of educational programs conducted at the Higher School of Project Management.

Separately, I note your professional ability to conduct classes, actively involving all students in the study of the issues under consideration.

During the time that has passed since your classes, I managed to apply some of the knowledge gained to improve the project management system for the microelectronics center of Russian Space Systems JSC, which confirms their practical significance. Summarizing the above mentioned, I consider it expedient for employees of the rocket and space industry of Russia to attend the author’s seminars and lectures by A. Malakhov.

Course: Organization of project management / project management office in a company

At first glance, a not very interesting topic turned out to be fascinating. All information was presented in an understandable way. Personally, I didn’t have enough — some kind of “global picture of the world”, maybe even at the level of strategy.

Otherwise, everything is fine, because all the topics covered within the organization of the project management office are close. In general, I managed to form a picture of the “correct” project management  office and compare it with how everything is implemented in the project management office where I work at the moment. It is clear that there cannot be a single standard due to the uniqueness of all companies, but the key points were clearly explained. Thanks a lot!

 I would like to thank you for the quality, interesting and useful content of the course. Special thanks for the training format — dialogue and positive atmosphere in the group.

In terms of content, the course provides answers not only to the topic of the Project Management Office, but also to no less important (and seemingly simple at first) issues of Project management, which, after getting acquainted with various methods and approaches, we had not less but more … In my opinion, the fact that you expand the scope of the course and touch upon issues related not only to the Project Management Office, + give many examples from your own experience, makes the course more complete and practically applicable to real life.

It was valuable for me to understand the goals, objectives and limits of the Project Management Office in the organization and dispel the existing myths in this regard. No less important was a fairly detailed discussion of the issue: and when, in general, the Project Management Office and the Project Management as a whole are needed; performance indicators of the Project Management Office; the role of the shareholder in the creation and further work of the Project Management Office.

A separate «bonus» was the discussion of the hybrid project management method — this is definitely about «real life»! And it seems to me that the mandatory inclusion of this topic in your course will definitely be accepted by future students with gratitude))

George Donchenko,
Country manager (MD)

Andrey got the position which was fully unstructured before he joined. His main acheivements were:
1. setting the framework for Project management (it was poor in RenCredit before)
2. building the team (previous team was IT-projects focused, with zero business skills)
3. Running pool of projects with really limited budget and tense «political» fight among Management board members.
For power assigned to the position (in RenCredit) Andrey did great job.
