The New Age Imperative for
MBA Students

Date: 12 June 2020
Time: 04:00 P.M. (IST)

There are three sharp trends that are reimagining the field of management and dictating the jobs of the future. Foremost, the world is increasingly becoming far too complex and volatile, necessitating a rapid yet measured response (case in point- Covid-19).

Consultative skills are now redefining traditional management thinking and practices. For long, consulting skills were confined to leadership level education and for students of elite schools. Now consulting skills are considered a prerequisite for virtually all types of MBA jobs.

This webinar is to create an awareness of the importance of consulting skills to MBA aspirants. Tune in on 12th June, 4.00 pm to hear our faculty, Mr. Viswanathan speak on this topic. Viswanathan has fifteen years of experience with reputed consulting organizations such as Deloitte, KPMG and Capgemini and is now a faculty at ASB, Coimbatore.
