Professor Himanshu Rai Director Message from Coordinator The Certificate Course in Business Management for Defence Officers (CCBMDO) at IIM Indore is a rigorous, six months programme which re-orients and prepares all its participants to efficiently emerge as potential leaders in an increasingly complex and demanding corporate environment. Designed for senior and mid-career military professionals, the application-oriented curriculum is built around discussions, case analysis, assignments, exercises, simulations, and group activities. Despite the hybrid format of course conduct, owing to the current pandemic situation, CCBMDO-17 has proved to be an enthusiastic and a vibrant group of professionals with a keen aptitude to learn and absorb the best of what IIM Indore has to offer. With the eclectic mix of rich experience, widespread exposure to technology and proven expertise in their respective domains, that each participant exudes, this tailor-made course in management has provided them an opportunity to get a ringside view of the contemporary business environment. The military experience with focus on quality and timely delivery of tasks – varying roles, necessitating hands-on tactical and strategic decision making/implementation in complex situations, has been adequately bolstered by this course and synergized their tacit knowledge with the formal, codified training imparted in this course. While the Core courses covering major functional areas of management build a strong foundation for learning, case discussion and its analysis provide the opportunity to be related to actuals. Group assignments, quizzes and class activities manage to create an environment for working through teams and communicating effectively, while the elective courses prepare the students to comprehend and evaluate new areas of learning. This design of course delivery is what transforms these officers into potential assets to any organisation they choose to serve. The Industry endorses the potential of our alumni to have always exceeded expectations of the recruiters as wells as the organisations. We expect our current batch to deliver much more, in the wake of a completely new dimension and a new normal of doing business, and their ambient acceptance to challenges. The sincerity and levels of enthusiasm towards learning exhibited by the batch has been amazing. They seem to be ready to infuse similar synergy, professionalism and passion to your organisations and steer it towards achieving its goals and missions. I am certain that the organisations seeking prospective leaders will find more than what they are looking for, in this batch.
