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. 11
iConnect is designed to meet many of these challenges. “A Doing away with purely classroom-rooted methods, iConnect single customer, seeks to open up the world to the student, bringing together out of millions, can the forces of academics, self-development, professional reach out directly to the CEO development and real work experiences together into of a company- to express his a cohesive and mentored learning experience. dissatisfaction through the power of social media- this proximity, Each year since we launched the ITM PGDM iConnect 2012, a sort of public intimacy, has we have dramatically changed the structure, content and changed how companies delivery of the program. Similar to the development of complex view their customers” 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.
