IIM Udaipur has collaborated with Imarticus Learning to launch the Chief Business Officer (CBO) programme. The programme is specifically curated to empower senior executives with the leadership skills and strategic thinking which is required to excel in the evolving business landscape.
The first class of the Chief Business Officers (CBO) Program is scheduled to begin in March 2024. The program’s goal is to provide emerging executives with the skills and information required to drive the companies’ commercial functions to heights of innovation and expansion. Through gamified simulations, live online lectures, on-campus immersion, and networking opportunities, participants will gain a profound understanding of business leadership concepts.
Senior executives with a minimum of five years of post-qualification work experience are eligible to apply for the Chief Business Officers Program. The requirements for eligibility include a UG degree with 50% of the possible points, and master’s degree holders will be given preference.
A wide range of crucial competencies for Chief Business Officers are covered in the program curriculum, such as team and stakeholder management, business financials, growth marketing, sales and marketing excellence, and leadership in the C-Suite. Members of the industry and senior academicians from IIM Udaipur will mentor the participants to help them gain the skills necessary to succeed in their positions.
Prof. N Viswanathan, Chairperson – Executive Education, IIM Udaipur expressed his thoughts on the launch and said, “We are thrilled to introduce the Program for Chief Business Officers in association with Imarticus Learning.
