Tata Leadership Seminars
Introduction
The Tata Group has adopted a novel approach for developing leadership potential in the Group. In keeping with this approach, several training and development initiatives have been identified and are being acted upon.
On the training front three key Leadership Programmes have been identified. These are:
Tata Group Strategic Leadership Seminar
A six-day intensive programme, this seminar is anchored around case studies, developed and conducted in collaboration with three faculty members, Professors Krishna Palepu, Nitin Nohria and Das Narayandas, of the Harvard Business School. It is currently in its sixth year of implementation. Top and senior management professionals, like business and functional heads, and those with potential to assume such roles in the near future are invited to participate in this programme.
Tata Group Executive Leadership Seminar
This is an intensive programme revolving
around conceptual frameworks, case studies
and group exercises developed and delivered
in collaboration with The Ross School
of Management, University of Michigan.
Professors C K Prahalad, Wayne Brockbank,
Narayanan, Krishnan and Venkat Ramaswamy
form the core faculty for this programme.
Senior and middle management professionals,
such as people reporting to business
heads, functional heads or people with
potential to take on such roles in the
short to medium-term, are invited to
participate in this programme.
Tata
Group Emerging Leaders Seminar
Using a combination of conceptual sessions, case studies and feedback intensive workshops to address the three focus areas, this seminar is aimed at young managers expected to assume future leadership roles in the Tata Group. The key areas of focus are
• Delivering customer value through integrated marketing and operations
• Role of strategy and finance in creating and sustaining competitive advantage
• Business leadership in changing times.
As part of the Seminar, participants have to explore areas either at their workplace or in the Tata Group, where they are to apply their learning through a project or a problem-solving approach. Young, promising managers from middle levels of management ideally in the age group of 30 to 35 are invited to participate in this programme. This seminar has been developed and is delivered in collaboration with different academic and practicing professionals from the IIMs, The Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and Centre for Creative Leadership, USA.
