Dear AVIRAL
It was great meeting you last week.
During our brief conversation, I had mentioned to you that I shall be writing to you about The Strategy Academy that I had set up and also about the 2 programs which I thought may be of interest to your organizations or even individuals who are directly reporting to you. Accordingly, I am attaching the following documents:
· A PDF on the Academy. This PDF will give you a broad overview of what the Academy has achieved during the last 5 years and also the list of programs it currently offers. You will also get a feel of the profile of participants who joined the Academy in the past and also the profile of faculty who took LIVE sessions at the Academy.
· Outline of Frontline Leaders Program which is ideal for people with 8+ years experience or people with MBA/PGDM
· Outline of the Academy's Young Managers Program which I feel will be ideal for developing your Entry level officials as well as Graduate Trainees.
In case of both the above programs, the Academy stands out for the following reasons:
· CONTENT: the Academy can deliver content in the 4 key areas viz. [a] understanding what is business and management and also communicating the importance of entrepreneurial orientation, [b] inputs on functional and general management skills, [c] strategy and [d] leadership
· DELIVERY:
§ All sessions are LIVE with faculty present in all sessions
§ The participants can see the faculty, hear the faculty, read the power point and also ask questions through his/her key board on REAL TIME basis
§ Infra at participant end: Standard - a PC/Laptop, a head phone and a data card; if several participants [say 10-20] sit in a class room, the class room should have a LCD projector, a PC/Laptop, a head phone andan Internet Leased Line [minimum steady broadband needed is 256 kbps whether a participant is receiving the LIVE feed from the faculty on one to one basis or in a class room]
· CONVENIENCE:
§ Delivered ANYWHERE - home/office/outstation [including out of India]
§ Delivered when needed by the client organization [including Saturdays and Sundays]
§ Recorded versions - Anytime-Anywhere after the corresponding LIVE sessions are over
· COST:
· Value for money.
· Cost per head per hour is less than programs of almost all business schools
Will it be possible for you to take a look at both Frontline Leaders Program and Young Managers Program offered by the Academy and also the list of other programs of the Academy [as listed in the PDF] and let me know if your organization or any other organization/individuals you know may like to take advantage of the content and special delivery features of the Academy's various programs. I am particularly keen to know about the two attached programs viz. Frontline Leaders Program and Young Managers Program.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Prof Ranjan Das
