In today’s dynamic environment, executive education is not an option but a necessity for learning organisations. Knowledge and skills need to be updated quickly, especially in a digital world, where some skills become redundant and solicit newer ones. Employees play a role not only in the implementation of strategy, but in its evolution as well. Continuous learning then becomes the key to staying relevant, being resilient and prospering, for individuals as well as their organisations. Skill upgradation is a pre-requisite for the back-up of research and development for which organisations have limited bandwidth. This is where management institutions can contribute. Intellectual contributions made by faculty, besides contributing to peer reviewed articles and cases can lend to professional practice. The best model then in executive training is for organisations and management institutions to partner toco create and design content. A partnership model helps curate programmes where learning outcomes are contextual and provide for the overall desired impact. A mission driven priority for SPJIMR is to influence practice and promote value-based growth. Executive education is an important route through which this purpose is served. Participants are exposed to real-world business challenges through case-studies, capstone projects and simulations. Peer learning is encouraged through interactive class discussions and experience sharing. The dominant premise across the modular Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), the alternate weekend Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM) and the short-term Management Development Programmes (MDPs) are experiential learning formats in which participants are encouraged to apply what they learn to their experience at the workplace. This structure provides for relevance to their specific contexts. Application assignments and capstone projects based on real company problems help deviseinnovative solutions and facilitate instant and enhanced contribution to the organisation. It becomes possible then for participants to realise their career goals by taking on leadership positions which, in turn, help to build the leadership pipeline for organisations.
