Ban Phai Community Waste Management Learning Center, Rayong
On 18 September 2026 our GEMBA 14 batch visited the Ban Phai Community Waste Management Learning Center in Rayong Province. The visit was a chance for our group to link classroom study with a real community‑based business model.
During the visit we learned about how Ban Phai grew from a "Waste Bank" into a community waste management and learning center. Ban Phai began by encouraging people to collect recyclable waste and over time Ban Phai developed a system that covers waste collection, sorting, recycling, upcycling and community enterprise activities.
One thing that stood out to our group was how Ban Phai has created value from waste. We saw Ban Phai products made from recycled materials, such as cushions, bags, decorations and handicrafts. The TAYLA products showed how Ban Phai can transform waste materials into items through creativity and design.
We also found Ban Phai’s development journey interesting. The Ban Phai center has worked with partners, such as the private sector and universities while gradually building Ban Phai’s own knowledge, capacity and experience. This showed us that community‑based businesses can grow through a mix of ownership, partnerships, leadership and continuous learning.
From a management view the visit helped us see how operations management, sustainability, innovation, supply chains, social enterprise, marketing and value creation are all linked. Waste collection, sorting, processing, product development, marketing and sales are not steps; they are part of one connected value chain.
At the time our group saw some areas where Ban Phai’s business model could be strengthened. In particular Ban Phai product design and market positioning could be better adapted to changing customer needs. Creative social media content and interactive digital marketing could also help raise Ban Phai product visibility and reach new customer groups.
The field trip also gave us a chance to learn directly from Ban Phai community members and to share ideas with our classmates. Seeing Ban Phai’s real operations helped us see that sustainability is not an environmental issue. It can also create business opportunities, jobs, community income and social value.
Overall our group found the field trip informative and inspiring. Ban Phai showed how a local community can slowly turn a waste management challenge into a chance, for economic, environmental and social value creation. At the time it reminded us that keeping a community‑based business alive requires Ban Phai to keep adapting to changing markets customer needs, technology and consumer behavior.

What does sustainable development actually look like inside one of Thailand's leading energy companies? On 18 September, GEMBA Batch 14 students found out firsthand during a field visit to in Rayong.
The day began with a warm welcome from Khun Monnasit Khawprasert, Division Manager of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, setting the stage for a deep dive into corporate sustainability strategy.
From there, Khun Pakorn Polsena, Sustainability and Climate Change Management Manager, and Khun Kamonchanok Wangvittaya, Assistant Sustainability Management Manager, walked students through GPSC's sustainability approach, including how the company's strategy aligns with the Paris Agreement and currently supports 7 of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
One insight that resonated with Global Executive MBA students: sustainability at GPSC isn't confined to environmental metrics. It reaches into the community and into the company's own workforce with employees at every level playing a role in driving sustainable practices forward.
The visit to Rayong was a powerful reminder that sustainable development isn't an abstract goal. It's built through deliberate strategy, community involvement, and everyday decisions across an entire organization.

Dr.Trinnawat Thanitithiphan, Founder and CEO of Interpharma inaugurated GEMBA’s Annual Global Leadership Development Program. He began with the key question: Can a local executive become a Global Leader?
Dr.Trinnawat has had extensive executive experience in the global pharmaceutical industry including Swiss, British and American Companies. This experience motivated him to develop a better understanding of what is required for a local executive to become a Global Leader.
To do this he enrolled in the Doctorate in Business, Phd Program in the Thammasat Business School Dr. Trinnawat conducted an in-depth research study of what he described as Globality. This was defined as a comprehensive and integrated set of competencies including Global Leadership and Executive Management, Global Mindset and Cultural Intelligence.
The research was conducted with a large diverse sample of executives in a global pharmaceutical company. The results confirmed that the level of Globality was significantly related to the current performance of the executives and more importantly, to their future performance.
Interestingly, he has applied the lessons of Globality to the performance of Interpharma with partnerships in 14 different countries and a listing on the MAI. This is a positive demonstration of theory, applied research and pracitice.
Dr. Trinnawat answered the question: Can a local executive become a Global Leader?
It is not by experience, It is by learning. This is the value of the GEMBA Global Leadership Development Program.
If you are interested in developing your Global Leadership competencies for the present and for the future, please consider joining GEMBA.

During the GEMBA course On Global Leadership, the participants were actively involved in the Maestro Leadership and Executive Coaching Program. This program is from WPP, a globally ranked branding and media corporation. The lead facilitator was Dennis Potgraven, Chief Strategic Officer, WPP Media in Shanghai, in partnership with Dr. Fredric William Swierczek, Director of GEMBA. The Maestro initiative was from 4 to 5 July for 4 sessions.
The first session was on Strategic Navigating the AI Universe. Using the Maestro Strategic Inquirer, participants analyzed the geopolitical global market relationships and AI that would affect the potential strategy design of an Asian company going global. This was followed by examples of how WPP has strategically responded to the global AI disruption.
Strategic competencies was the focus of the second session. Participants were asked to identify what they thought were critical strategic competencies. These ranged from environmental scanning to strategic planning. These competencies were compared to the critical competencies actually applied by WPP. This comparison highlighted the integration of strategic design, ex*****on and performance.
WPP has a strong commitment to clients and collaboration. It follows an appraisal of capability and cultural fit which is the key to long term successful partnerships. In the third session, participants applied this to identify which local partners would be the best fit of a global corporation who would like to invest in ASEAN. This activity was followed by a review of Apples partnership successes and failures in China.
Participants identified work related conflicts that they faced in the fourth session. The Maestro Inquirer was used to identify the key factors that related to the conflict. These typically we're objective issues. It was clear that the subjective factors were more critical in solving the conflict. The right set of positive subjective factors would lead to effective collaboration for a mutual result in the solution. This was demonstrated in actual conflict situations.
The Maesto experience highlighted the value of the global team process, situational understanding, acquiring global leadership competencies, adaptability and commitment to the client for global success.
