The constancy of change was even understood in the prelapsarian days, before the new normal, but its pace was not estimated. Today, everyone in the workforce, from top-tier professionals to senior and mid-level managers, needs to upskill to solve new challenges while collaborating with teammates to exchange knowledge and ideas. Furthermore, it is essential to understand the new-age tools, technologies, and novel thinking in business practices to expand and grow. And while the need to upskill has been established in contemporary times, growing choices further add to the dilemma. There is no clear roadmap for people to add leadership and other vital skills to their skillset.
Several job opportunities have opened up in this new digital landscape, and old skills don’t quite make the cut. To succeed in these new-age roles, there is a need to understand cognitive flexibility, emotional intelligence, people management, negotiation, etc. These skill sets are also essential for moving up the corporate ladder since accountability increases, and so does the process of making complex yet vital decisions.
According to the World Economic Forum’s ‘The Future Of Jobs Report 2020’, employers observe that top skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility will gain prominence up to 2025. Nearly 94% of business leaders opine that employees need to learn new skills on the job, a sharp rise from 65% in 2018.
To help people hone their managerial and leadership capabilities IIM Indore has launched the Post Graduate Certificate in Business Management (PGCBM). This twelve-month immersive programme will help participants make the most out of cross-functional perspectives and collaborate across several teams. Students will be taught topics like Business Communication, Data Visualisation, Social Media and Influencer Marketing, Digital Marketing Analytics, Cost and Managerial Accounting, Human Resource Management, Negotiation, Fundamentals of Supply Chain Management, Strategic Decision Making, Organisational Strategy, Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics, and AI & ML/ Big Data Analytics/ Block Chain.
The teaching approach comprises interactivity through technological capabilities. It will blend case studies, virtual lectures, projects, simulations etc. Renowned faculty members will also mentor students, which is vital in developing their skill sets.
The eligibility criteria to apply for this programme includes a minimum of two years of post-graduate/graduate work experience and a diploma/graduate/post-graduate degree from Universities recognised by the Association of Indian Universities.
Once people set foot in the corporate world, the road can get tricky to manoeuvre after a few years. There is a possibility of people getting lost within their assigned roles, but programmes like the Post Graduate Certificate in Business Management (PGCBM) from IIM Indore help participants understand the different dimensions of their personalities. They will learn how to apply themselves in today’s dynamic workplaces and move up the ladder towards senior management roles with confidence and determination.
