The Application of Learning program(ALP) provides the PGPM participants an opportunity to apply the management concepts picked up during the course of the PGPM program in different areas like strategy,finance,marketing,IT consulting etc to real life industry scenarios.
Our ALP at OTIS India kicked off on Aug 24,2009 for a period of 6 weeks and should I say it was great to get back to cushy offices and the corporate life after the ever-so-hectic, but of course fun-filled college tryst.The CIO of OTIS India is directly mentoring us on the ALP amidst his busy schedule and it has been an exciting 2 weeks so far on the ALP.
Long hours spent discussing the business processes,interacting with the business users,planning the IT roadmap for the company,applying the lenses of IT strategy to a real business scenario has indeed been an enriching experience.
OTIS Company which is an Engineering-to-Order company and not only the No.1 among the Elevator companies of the world with their products in all the tallest structures of the world like the Eiffel Tower-Paris,The Petronas Towers-Malaysia ,the upcoming Burj-Dubai and many more,but also envisions to be the Numero Uno in “Service Excellence”.
The aptly named Application of Learning program of applying our new found management learning’s taught by some of the best faculty among B-schools at SP Jain,Mumbai to the industry has indeed been a challenging stint thus far,and we look forward to make the best of it!
