Wall of love for TIMESPRO | IIM-Kozhikode

When I joined this program I had lots of hope and eagerness to learn. While I I learn a lot, I was happy to interact with some of the students who participated as well. Lots of learning thru assignments and project work too. But at some places it was rather disappointing. Some professors were not upto IIM level professors, felt very basic. I am also certain that some of the assignments of Mr. SHOVAN sir were also not graded and while we were told they were graded. We never got individual marks for those too. Also there was no great feedback system which was in place like why r we losing marks or why are we getting those marks. No benchmarking of sorts. All in all it became average and I might not be recommending this to anyone.

An 8/10 experience for me. Through this course I got introduced to a lot of interesting Analytics concepts that can be used not just for Marketing but Business Strategy in general. For me the key takeaways were the case studies, assignments and capstone project which were all a great learning experience. The Marketing Simulation activity was unique and probably the best part of the course, apart from peer learning from my experienced batchmates. The only negative aspect was grading wasnt taken seriously by the faculty. But otherwise I felt this was a good investment to made. However, I will recommend this course only to people who have been exposed to managing large amounts data at their workplace be it in Marketing or any other department.

I was at a juncture of my career where I wanted new learning and thinking to bring in a fresh approach on top of my experience. I also wanted to gain more actionable knowledge on the analytics side to make my marketing experience stronger in line with the new digital paradigm. ‘Advanced Marketing Strategy and Analytics’ course from IIMK was a perfect choice for me. Thanks to all the eminent professors, the course helped me to gain contemporary knowledge on marketing and application of analytics in marketing. Moreover, it made me a part of a dynamic group of marketing professionals across India, who are open to share knowledge and grow together. Overall, this course will surely help me to attain new trajectory in my career forward

IIM-K came up with a program titled Digital Strategy and Transformation just at the time when I was looking around to hone my Strategy and Transformation related skills.

I would recommend my friends to take this program for immense value addition to their learning, from a famous institution and full value for money.

Sreekumar Nair 32 productive years in the growing and evolving Pharmaceuticals and Lifesciences Industry Am a part of Digital Strategy & Transformation Course from IIM Kozhikode - 1st Batch (2021-22) My trigger was the growing popularity of digital medium of communication which today has become an essential part of our lives today. Knowing how to intelligently utilise the digital tools was an important business requirement for me to stay relevant in today's ever evolving industry to serve the customer better, faster and keep him coming back to you to do business. This programme is interpersed with lectures by the Professors of IIM apart from Industry experts. So one gets a 360 degree outlook on the subject and its impact on the business. The three specific program features are the course subject matter, industry expert sessions and the value it has offered me as a professional apart from flexibility of attending the course classes on a Sunday. I would recommend this programme to all management professionals who wish to be relevant as the business requirements are migrating more towards digital and knowing the subject from leading experts from IIM will always be an added feature to your business understanding.

I am Radhika Dhanuka, I hail from Kolkata, I have a work experience of 10 years with a background of CA CS. All these years into Accounts & Finance was just going good till the time I didn't reach Managerial level. At this level of my career I realized the base knowledge of Accountancy is not suffice to move further up the ladder. Hence I was searching for courses which would let me learn some basic skills about management and give me the right direction and most importantly which doesn't consumes my office time. As in the course & office should run parallel. IIMK provided this wonderful opportunity with this course in Business Management and helped me grow. A lot of confusions in the way I represent myself changed. I could see the differences in my communication which enhanced, my mail writing skills improved, the shyness has gone & I am more confident in public speaking & interacting with new people. I am again connected with books after 2015 which made me feel great. Now people can see a difference in my way of speaking & I m more empathetic to others. I would recommend this to other participants as well because apart from Management point of view it teaches us about Economics, Sports, Accounts, English, Current affairs. So all the school & college studies would be brushed up once again. Communication, public speaking, self-presentation, confidence, everything would improve for sure. Thanks

I am Sandeep Bhadange, Senior Manager working with Capgemini Technology Services India. I was a part of the Professional Certificate Programme "Digital Strategy and Transformation" by IIM Kozhikode. I was looking for a course that would help me understand and implement Digital Transformations across organizations. I came across this course and , after discussing the syllabus in detail with the Faculty, was convinced that this was the course that I had been looking for. Thanks to this programme, the concept of digital transformation is crystal clear in my mind. The methodology of teaching by the faculties and the participation of the students ensured that I am confident in taking up the challenge of digitally transforming any organization in any domain. What I achieved from this course is far beyond what I expected at the beginning. The following 3 program features made a true difference to my career: 1. The knowledge of the faculties was immense, but at no point in time was it forced onto us. Each time, the topic was discussed at length and we ourselves discovered the knowledge at the end of the discussion 2. The topics covered are extremely relevant in today's times. It gave me the confidence that what I know is far more than what most of the people in my industry know about this subject 3. The knowledge sharing on Whatsapp was truely useful. We all shared case studies that we came across with the faculty joining in whenever he can. The way in which Rupeshji conducted this programme was world-class. He was always accessible and we all felt extremely comfortable discussing any topic with him. A true gem of a teacher I would recommend this course to all aspiring students who wish to learn digital transformation, as this course covers all the key topics in detail and equips students to face the uncertain world of digital transformation confidently.
