First Time Manager

First Time Manager

A study was conducted by The Ken Blanchard Companies with over 500 new managers, sometime back. It revealed that only 15% received new manager training prior to switching or soon after switching into the role of manager. As a result, at least 49% felt grossly unprepared to succeed. More than half reported receiving less than adequate training in critical areas like goal setting, inter-personal skills and performance counselling. Even after 6 months, nearly 63% of respondents still felt less effective in the new role and after 12 months 50% still felt somewhat ineffective. Make sure your managers are ready…. DON’T LET THEM SINK, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!

Peggy Burns Lockheed Martin

Nice format. Easy to navigate. Relatively clear explanations. I have some experience (Training) in P-CMM, so it was particularly a good refresher.

The simulation gave me a broad exposure to a real-world corporate management case. It was really effective, and the exercise have helped me to structure the thinking process and decision making.

Communication with all possible alternatives very well designed. Looks like more practical. I really appreciate this simulation.

Great, good content & context... it helps us on daily professional & personal life.

Shaswata Saha IIM Bangalore

Gave a lovely real-world scenario in a gamified manner.

S.Hari Krishnan

TFL India

Excellent tool to analyze the usefulness per rupee spent. This is the major challenge as budget is always a limitation in any organization. Good feedback for teams as well, to discuss and then come up with a plan.

Biswajit Raha

Daikin India

This is very interesting because I have to respond quickly which actually enables me to realize actual patterns that help to understand situations.

Shashwat Khajuria

Great way to find the hidden abilities of a person who is unable to show those in open. Enjoyed a lot and want to do such kinds of tests again and again.

Shivam Chauhan

Glenmark Pharma

I had a very new experience via this simulation and it was an excellent one. I agree with the result and I will try to work on my interviewing skills, I will look forward to more such simulations.

Bikash Behera

NTPC

I got a brief idea about the different parameters of the business world and about the progress and productivity of a company. I also got an brief idea about how the office is controlled and how decision-making is a very vital issue. To improve the sales productivity, human resourse management is most important. The proper planning and executing the managerial decision which is taken in the managerial level is very important.

Santosh K Behera

OPTCL

I was very glad to be a part of this program and this type of interesting brain storming has never done in recent times. The game was so enjoyable that I could not notice how fast the day got over and we came to the end of the session. The activity was so interesting that the brakes seemed less provoking and all other activities took the back seat. It was really an experience of it's own kind. I am loking forward to these types of activities more in recent times and hope to come with certain preparedness to bring out the best out of it, me included.

Seema Budhiraj

The business simulation game was a great experience. Managing an organization is not as easy as it seems and cost cannot be the only criteria to achieve managerial effectiveness.

Srinivas Thumallapalli

Manas Ranjan Swain

I here came to know how different parameters affect the progress of any business. All the parameters of a business are very much essential. They should be controlled in a judicious manner to improve the business process.

To improve sales productivity, human resource management is most important. Proper planning and executing the decision which is taken at the managerial level is very necessary.

Today's training on business simulation program is a very necessary tool to understand the running and managing of a business.
