Studying at MIM isn't just about attending useful lectures, engaging networking events, and intriguing case studies. It's also about meeting prominent political and public figures, as well as top businesspeople, who generously share their experiences and provide candid answers to the audience's questions. One of them is Taras Chmut, Chairman of the Foundation for Competent Assistance to the Army "Come Back Alive" and a graduate of MIM Business School, who recently led one such discussion with the Senior Executive MBA class.
 "The non-political nature, transparent reporting, and segregated funding are the three pillars of the Foundation's effectiveness," Taras Chmut explains. "We ensure that funds for administration and operations are raised separately from the needs of the Defense Forces." Reflecting on the Foundation's response to the onset of full-scale war, he recalls, "Although it's impossible to be fully prepared for such situations, we had a crisis management plan in place. We established a backup office in Ivano-Frankivsk and promptly relocated our financial services there to safeguard financial records and prevent disruptions to business processes. Meanwhile, in Kyiv, we swiftly mobilized, purchasing whatever military supplies we could find and distributing them. By the second day of the invasion, we were already an integral part of the supply chain, despite the challenging circumstances of scarcity."
 From the outset, the Foundation prioritized simple, direct, and daily communication to inform donors and the public about the details of their supplies distribution and recipients. "We pride ourselves on being a highly bureaucratic organization compared to others in the charitable sector," notes Taras Chmut. "However, this bureaucracy ensures transparency, clarity, and accountability. Anyone can verify in real-time how we allocate funds or supplies through our website."
 The cohesive values shared by the team play a pivotal role in the Foundation's well-coordinated efforts. "On February 24, 2024, we all showed up for work, grabbed some coffee, and got down to business. We wore multiple hats, focusing on whatever was necessary at any given moment, regardless of job titles," recalls Taras Chmut.
 He emphasizes critical importance of the volunteer movement, particularly in intelligence gathering and situational awareness. "Russia fails to grasp the essence of the volunteer movement because it's simply foreign to them," he asserts. "Contrary to Russian claims, Ukraine's early advantage in intelligence didn't come from Western satellites but from grassroots initiatives like Mavic drones supplied by volunteers, friends, family members, or individuals they did not even know. These efforts significantly augmented our intelligence capabilities and operational effectiveness."
 Taras Chmut underscores the volunteer movement's speed, targeted approach, and cost-effectiveness in mitigating losses during the conflict. "Without the volunteer movement, our losses would have been far greater, potentially leading to collapse," he asserts.
 Over the course of the two-year full-scale war, the Foundation has raised over UAH 10 billion. Chmut attributes much of this success to his experience at MIM Kyiv. "MIM has played a significant role in our achievements," he acknowledges. "Our team members have participated in various programs, which have equipped us with invaluable skills and knowledge. The close collaboration between a public organization like ours and a business school might seem unusual, but it's been incredibly beneficial. MIM provides us with access to cutting-edge knowledge, which we can then apply in real-world scenarios. Moreover, interacting with MIM's diverse student body allows us to exchange ideas and improve our skills across various industries and sectors.
