Course Overview
To be a part of senior management, managers need to inculcate leadership qualities like envisioning the future, taking a macro view of the business landscape, and developing a strategic mindset.
The Senior Management Programme (SMP) is IIM Calcutta’s longest-running, flagship management development programme running continuously for the last 19 years, a feat unmatched by any of its peers. The oldest such programme in the country running its 20th batch, SMP is a one-year immersive management education programme designed specifically for senior executives.
Covering over eleven modules, the programme will expose participants to contemporary macro perspectives as well as functional knowledge for enhancing their strategic decision making.
Synopsis
While taking a career leap from a functional to a managerial role, there is always a greater degree of change in accountability with the oversight of multiple and diverse functional roles. Also, it requires a paradigm shift in attitude, perspective, mindset, and thought processes. Success in this role can depend on the aspirant’s personality and skills. Good managers are almost always good leaders as well. IIM Calcutta’s Senior Management Programme will boost senior executives’ strategic perspectives, help them gain relevant knowledge, develop new skills, forge stronger relationships, and foster creativity and self-confidence. It will also help them leverage new opportunities to become future-ready business leaders.
