Indian Institute of Management- Bangalore (IIM-B) announced a sports-based executive education programme for middle and senior managers with an aim to help to them face challenges in their domain.

This is the first ever programme that leverages the experiences of sportspersons to develop a learning platform for corporate executives and help them approach day-to-day situations differently, said chairperson of IIM-B's executive education programmes Shyamal Roy.
 
The two-day programme titled 'learnings from sport' is being launched in association with TENVIC, a professional sports consulting company and is scheduled to be rolled out on March 16 and 17.
 
As a part of this programme, successful sportspersons from various sports will share their anecdotal experiences with the participants.
 
Knowledge will be shared through classroom sessions, interactive talks, panel discussions, video based case studies and informal interactions. The learning frameworks have been co-created by faculty from IIM Bangalore and professionals from TENVIC, said a statement.
 
This intensive programme will expose participants to several innovative concepts like altruistic mentoring, performance-based leadership, managing the ups and downs of the game, cross-training and equipping with skills beyond their role, and leadership jugglery.
 
"It is our intention to take a long-term view of this programme and look at all aspects of sports with a research and management lens" Roy said.
 
"This program cuts across the conventional management experiences and draws on the learning from sports to empower corporates to tackle challenging business situations", said Hari Iyer, VP, learning from sports, TENVIC.
