Management programme at St Stephen's


St Stephen's College of Delhi University is venturing into business education for the first time, after launching its management centre last week. Known as St Stephen's Institute for Management Excellence (SSIME), the institute will be offering an Accelerated Development Programme (ADP) for mid-career professionals, beginning October.

The ADP has been created in partnership with the Jones School of Business at Rice University in Houston, Texas, US. The institute will offer training and conduct research in business management, with the goal of advancing best-practices for the Indian business environment. SSIME, though closely allied to St Stephen's College, will remain an independent organisation. Hence, certificates provided at the end of the four-month programme will not be from Delhi University.

Rev Valson Thampu, principal, St Stephen's College, says, "As the landscape of employment evolves beyond administration and professions, the need for a world-class business and entrepreneurship education has become increasingly critical. SSIME is our response to that need. We are starting with the area in demand - mid-career professionals."

Sanjay Saigal, alumnus of the college, who will serve as the institute's director, says, "While teaching in the executive MBA programme of the University of California, I found that textbooks aimed at the instructors of the quantitative decisionmaking course did not conform too well to the kind of client-facing work I'd done for nearly 20 years in the industry. When I found that the problem of unnecessary theory extended beyond my own area, I started working on what turned out to be the ADP programme."

According to Saigal, SSIME, even though independent, is still associated with St Stephen's College because of the college's strength in economics and related disciplines such as history and mathematics. "These subjects provide leverage in understanding why management practices evolve, and how new practices can be best adopted by traditional and emerging Indian business sectors. We would be able to take the help of the college's faculty in teaching these subjects at our institute," says Saigal.

COURSE DETAILS

The programme is designed for mid-level executives. All aspects of the programme are geared towards making this intensive course as convenient as possible for the attendees and as low in opportunity-cost to her/his employer as feasible. There are four modules; each five-day module runs from Friday through the following Tuesday. A two to three-week gap between modules allows attendees to return to their regular jobs, minimising absence related efficiency loss.

The four modules include customer centric strategy, operations and information, global competitiveness and finance. Each module will be taught by an acknowledged expert in the area, and will include multiple guest speakers to add a breadth of perspective, as well as team based business simulations to allow attendees to dive deep into areas of interest.

SSIME's initial ADP session will begin on October 21, at the executive facilities of IndiaInternational Centre in New Delhi.
