Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) in collaboration with Institute of Certified Professional Managers (CPM) and Institute of Certified Management Accountants of Sri Lanka (CMA) will be conducting the Top Management Program on the topic ‘Transforming Business Organisations to Achieve Growth’ from 27 to 29 November.
IIMA established in 1961 had as its partner Harvard Business School (HBS) the top Business School in USA and is the number one Business School in India and was the first Indian Business School to achieve International Recognition in 2002. One of the most valuable aspects of IIMA’s association with HBS was that of research in practice of Indian business and more importantly the case study approach which will be used in the conduct of this program.
Organisations after a period of success get set in ways that can result in divergence between the demands of the environment and the processes and structures within. Organisations need to be adaptable, honing their organisation and processes to the environment. A strategic orientation wherein operations, boundaries, vendors and markets are understood as they change is an integral part of adaptability. Yet there are givens within an organisation – its values and the institutionalisation of what is functional. This implies that change has to be consciously managed. Therefore, top managers’ perspectives become important in transforming organisations. This program will bring insights from case studies of successful transformations covering various dimensions of strategy including operations, and how leaders can bring about the transformation of organisations for high performance.
Program highlights include • Perspectives on the key forces of change in the current economic and social environment. • The idea of strategy and strategic change. • Organisational processes. • Orientation for growth and high performance. • Emerging economics and rapid growth • Organisational leadership and change management.
This program is meant for leaders of public quoted, group, multinational, banking, finance, insurance, industry, services, retail, export, agricultural and plantation, state corporations, government owned and private sector companies, managing directors, directors, CEOs, COOs, general managers, and senior corporate managers facing the challenge of growth and organisational transformation.
The Pedagogy will be a mix of case studies and discussions. IIMA believes in interactive sessions. A typical day would involve intense classroom sessions, with much prior preparation and syndicate work.
Faculty includes Prof. Amit Karna Fellow (IIM Ahmedabad) an Associate Professor of Strategic Management at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), Prof Morris, Sebastian (Faculty Chair) Fellow (IIM, Calcutta); MSc (Int.) (Phys.), IIT, Bombay Professor. Member of the Economics, and Public Systems Areas and Prof Vohra Neharika Ph.D. (Manitoba) is a psychologist who teaches organisational behaviour at IIM Ahmedabad as a full time faculty.
