If you have ever worked in a rapidly growing organization, or a newly established firm, you know what it feels like working across verticals, adding more feathers to your hat, and more qualifications to your skill-set. 

The learning curve is brilliant when an organization is down on the hustle road, however, there comes a point when stretching between multiple roles becomes difficult, and it calls for a realignment in processes. 

And this isn’t where it ends. When new players come into the market and elevate the tech game, traditional players have to keep up with them, and sometimes that means recruiting fresh talent, adopting smart technology, and going through a digital transformation. Analytics and automation have essentially changed the playfields for common verticals like Marketing, HR, Operations, and so on. To keep up with the change, one needs to constantly invest in upskilling themselves. 

This is where an Executive Program in Advanced General Management might help you climb up your professional journey. It helps you learn about all the major domains of any business including financial management, operations, marketing, economics and trade. 

Being aware of the detailed intricacies of a business also helps you connect how all the activities are working together and how they can be streamlined towards your organizational goals. Apart from having a more clear technical view of how the business is conducting various activities to turn in profits, one also learns about the most important company resources. 

A course in Advanced General Management may help you improve your interpersonal abilities, such as leadership and communication, as well as other fundamentals like learning about the legal environment, ethics, responsible management, and internationally relevant developing business trends and topics.

Leadership and people’s management is very important when you are looking after various operations across the firm. The fact that you are aware of all departments of a business allows you to better understand what the employees are doing, their roles and responsibilities, the challenges they are facing, and the brilliant ideas that they come up with. 

To be able to appreciate it all, you need to know it all. 

Strategic vision, a diversified perspective of business, and leadership presence are all required for functioning from the top of the corporation. General Management Knowledge will provide you with insights into a variety of business strategy drivers, cross-functional knowledge necessary to manage complex businesses in an integrated manner, and personal and organisational leadership principles that drive company change and transformation.

IIM Shillong, one of the leading B-schools of the country has also recently launched an Executive Program in Advance General Management. Working people may gain a holistic view on upskilling and preparing for the ever-changing corporate environment by taking this one-year course. Its course includes a well-balanced combination of live virtual lectures, debates, case studies, and peer-to-peer experience sharing. It is designed to make learning easier by connecting key management principles and their applications in the corporate world. Participants may be encouraged to apply or link their in-class learning to real-world problems at work in various modules; peer learning would therefore be a significant component of the process. In some modules, take-home tasks may be required.
