Looking for a year long general management program? Cambridge's Judge Business School would be an excellent choice. Their first round deadline is also early, on September 23rd.
What are the key issues facing organisations in your sector over the next three years? What course of action would you recommend to such organisations? (300 words)

- The balance you have to strike in this question is being in-depth enough (which sometimes requires the use of technical jargon), but yet articulating in a way that a layman would appreciate your understanding of your industry
- Using the jargon can sometimes be important, especially if you are in certain industries - so don't shy away from this if you must use it, but at the same time, don't stick in big words just to sound intelligent :-)
- The choice of the word spectacular is intentional; it is designed to invoke your most embarrassing or high-stakes failure
- 200 words is tight - describe the failure in a sentence or two, and then quickly get into what you learned from it
- Somewhat similar to Kellogg's leadership + assessment questions, you can start by describing what you've done so far, and what leadership areas you want to develop at business school
- A writing tip for this essay - first, write this essay without the second half (why the degree?). Write your career objectives, and as you read them (or a reviewer reads them), it should be plainly obvious what your needs are. Those needs should then be articulated in a few sentences for why Judge, why the degree, but those sentences should be a natural conclusion to your first half.
