IIM-B to launch two-day sports-based exec learning programme

Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B), in association with TENVIC, a professional sports consulting company, will launch a two-day sports-based executive education programme for middle and senior managers.

The programme titled ‘Learnings from Sport’ is scheduled to be rolled out on March 16 and 17, 2012 at the IIM Bangalore campus as part of the IIM-B Executive Education Programme.

"As a part of this programme, successful sportspersons from various sports will share their anecdotal experiences with the participants. Knowledge will be shared through classroom sessions, interactive talks, panel discussions, video-based case studies and informal interactions. The learning frameworks have been co-created by eminent faculty from IIM Bangalore and seasoned professionals from TENVIC," the B-school said in a press statement.

The programme will expose participants to concepts like altruistic mentoring, performance-based leadership, managing the ups and downs of the game, cross-training and equipping with skills beyond their role, and leadership jugglery, to name a few.
