The ITM PGDM 2015 - 17

                     edition

         10
In 2011, we had a vision of the future of business and the
 challenging times that lay ahead for aspiring business
 professionals and the Institutions that trained them. We realized
 that the global business environment has become so much
 more complex, and that technology, economics and market
 dynamics are deeply entwined.

 Frankly, we realized that MBA programs are woefully inadequate
 preparation for the jobs that await aspiring management
 professionals. The MBA’s value as a training program for
 managerial talent was waning, companies were finding it hard to
 find recruits who could hit the ground running and be productive
 from the first day on the job. Day Zero productivity was the
 demand, and B-schools across the world had failed in supplying
 that capability.

 We came to the urgent realization that the ITM PGDM program
 must change radically, in order to maintain our leadership and
 reputation as a provider of high-value education. In mid-2011 a
 senior management team, led by Dr. P.V. Ramana, Chairperson
 of ITM-Group, began interacting with hundreds of business
 leaders, from CEOs to HR and functional heads, to try and
 understand the talent gap their companies are facing.

 At the outset, we forced ourselves into a “Blank Slate” approach
 - We agreed to challenge everything about the ITM PGDM,
 from curriculum to pedagogy, training and placement. Once
 we wiped the slate clean, our team began to conduct extensive
 open-ended discussions with hundreds CEOs and business
 heads across India.

 The learning we gleaned from these hundreds of interactions
 have been carefully analysed and consolidated into four core
 focus areas. Building up from these focus areas, we redeveloped
 the ITM PGDM into a program that we call iConnect

 The iConnect 2015-17 edition mandate
 Complexity and Proximity
 Today’s business professional is required to assimilate torrents
 of knowledge and data, develop actionable insights at lightning
 speed and perform as part of large teams, often spread across
 geographies and time zones. Combined with this increasing
 complexity, the distance between producers and consumers has
 shrunk, thanks to the revolution in communication through the
 Internet, social media and mobile technology. Managers are no
 longer removed from customers- everyone in an organization,
 regardless of position has a sales and service role.

 Our collective output of new knowledge of every facet of life has
 created a mass of business and technological know-how that
 has overtaken the capability of any MBA program to deliver.

iConnect is designed to meet many of these challenges.                               “A

software, iConnect is designed to be in “Beta” phase for a
long time, as we experiment with new ways of delivering on its
mandate.
The ITM PGDM iConnect program has been
designed to:
1. Deliver updated, streamlined industry relevant curriculum.

2. Develop analytical, quantitative, communication and
   interpersonal skills as a core component of the learning
   experience.

3. Help identify the student’s specialization choice early in
   the learning lifecycle, and deliver targeted learning towards
   developing capabilities in the chosen field.

4. Develop and practice the values of good work ethics,
   professionalism, social consciousness, organizational
   responsibility, humility and humanity.

5. Provide enriching and immersive industry experience,
   with continuous faculty support, employer feedback and
   academic rigor.

6. Prepare students for professional life during the entire
   program duration, through planned and continuous
   interventions in interpersonal, professional, language and
   leadership skills.

In ESSCA the class would be as fresh as sunrise, new
concept new approaches to our learning and really
exciting that I couldn’t afford to miss the Learning.

week as it started it was exciting but when twist and
turn taking place in further rounds, there came the real
challenge of applying the management skills (Finance,
R&D, Promotion, etc.) were more challenging to me.
My core subject was marketing and as my professor.
Satya Saminadan use to tell, “Real learning of marketing
is in the field” and now I totally believe in it. Getting

another project. It was damn exciting to work on such
live project. Brand management was also a part of our

the essence of a brand is so important in marketing.
Really a wide knowledge on aspects of marketing
was gained. One of my favorites would be negotiation
