Bristol Institute of Management best known for their visionary thinking, has in an innovative move, added experiential leaning to their MBA programme , making them the first in the market to do so.
Bristol Institute COO Dilshad Jiffry, stated, “The companies should ideally have an effective well-designed leadership skills development programme on decision-making for managing challenging market situations that would gear those in leadership positions to adapt and be ready to identify problems and craft effective solutions and successfully navigate their companies through volatile market conditions.”
Bristol Institute of Management has taken the lead in equipping their MBA team of graduates comprising of many middle management personnel from top blue chip companies and conglomerates, to get trained with such skills so that they in turn could drive better results for the organizations they serve.
In order to achieve this, Bristol Institute recently signed up with Results Training a company specialized in helping organisations and industries transform their human potential through experiential learning.
The leadership programmes would focus on activities that include managing teams, ice–breakers, cooperative game sequence, goal setting, taking ownership and accountability and displaying leadership skills followed by certain psychometric assessments.
Feedback sessions are conducted through effective debriefing at the end of each activity. An evaluation is done both by the participants and their peers, that prompts leaders to assess their strengths and areas of improvement.
This form of experiential learning will help participants recognize their loopholes and become aware of their natural style of leadership through self-awareness exercises.
Dilshad Jiffry said, “When the learning process is structured based on the science of experiential learning, the participants acquire knowledge by analyzing and reflecting on their experiences after accomplishing an assigned task.”
Results Training CEO, Faraz Farook speaking of the programme affirmed “the strength of leadership is tested at the times of crisis and uncertainty.
Leaders need at such times to have a clear mind be present in the ground situation, to wholly observe what has caused the damage, how it can be rebuilt from scratch if necessary and look ahead while seeing the bigger picture in a situation.”
