    This high-impact 11-month programme designed by the industry-leading faculty at IIM Lucknow (ranked 6th in the Ministry of Education’s NIRF 2022 rankings) helps new COOs and senior executives to wear many hats that their roles require them to with ease. As businesses across the world continuously adapt and evolve to the changes in demand, technology and data, the role of the COO has also evolved from just a manager of operations to a strategic partner leading transformation initiative to achieve greater customer-centricity. An effective COO is expected to oversee business strategies, lead innovation and change, mentor business heads and teams, drive product-market fit and customer satisfaction and optimise costs.

     

    Through immersive live online learning and in-campus immersion, real-world case studies, peer learning, as well as capstone project and simulations, the programme will enable participants to:

    • Transform operations into a business driver with strong business analytics skills
    • Drive competitive advantage by accelerating the adoption of new-age technologies
    • Lead high-performing teams with a customer-centric approach


     

    The practical and industry-aligned skills imparted by the programme can help professionals manage and inspire teams towards operational innovation and efficiency. Owing to its high real-life applicability, the past two cohorts of the programme witnessed a 35% increase in leads and about a 60% increase in enrolments from the 25+ years’ work experience (senior business leaders) segment. Over 65% of the participants have been professionals with a minimum of 15 years of work experience, with the top 3 job functions being operations, information systems/technology and general management. The top designations of the past participants were COO, Vice President and Director – depicting a high interest from senior executives (aged 40+). 

     

    Announcing the roll-out of Batch 3 of the programme, Mr. Mohan Kannegal, CEO, India and APAC, Emeritus, said, “Behind every successful company is a highly efficient COO.
