Competencies are essential to plan, organize, coordinate, control and motivate in work settings by managers. Managers acquire the required competencies at personal, interpersonal and group level through information, training and practice. The competencies thus acquired are subject to erosion due to changes in demands of jobs and changes in the organizational environment. To arrest the erosion of the competencies, there is a need for learning and development at regular intervals. Such learning and development by managers can lead to sustainable superior performance and achievement of organizational goals. The leadership at KIIT strongly believe that professional development of staff at all levels is the key to its success. The five days management development program was aimed at updating the necessary competencies through interactives lectures, workshops, case study analysis and role-plays.
The program was designed by Prof. Ashok K. Sar duly supported by the training team from the School of Management. The program design considered the jobs’ demands and the required competencies based on a thorough discussion with the DG-HR and his team.
