EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME (EGMP) @ IIM Bangalore

For the practicing managers in today’s business environment, what has become most crucial is the ability to manage the change. Meeting and measuring up to this emerging challenge is the prime function of today’s managers. To do this, they require keen perception, flexibility and the ability to merge management theories into action plans. EGMP has been designed for high performing functional managers, who are looking for a transition from a functional role to a general management role. EGMP is equally relevant for those fast-track managers, who have recently taken charge of a general management role, in terms of equipping themselves with the ability to cope up with responsibilities and issues at senior levels through formal management education. Participants of EGMP get an opportunity to develop core business skills and competencies in various functional areas, this would enable them to handle issues involving cross-functional areas. The EGMP brings together participants from diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences; and develops in them cross-functional skills. Eminent faculty of IIMB covers the curriculum. EGMP participants involve themselves actively in case studies and discussions, role-plays, games, etc. They benefit immensely through continuous learning and networking with peers from different backgrounds, during and after the programme.
