Shape your leadership future with IIM Kozhikode's strategic management programme
In a time when businesses are pivoting faster than ever due to digital disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and evolving consumer demands, strategic management is no longer optional; it is indispensable. According to a report by PwC 1 , 77% of CEOs say they are concerned about their ability to keep up with the pace of change. In such a dynamic environment, organisations that proactively engage in strategic thinking are better positioned to anticipate market disruptions, innovate with agility, and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. A Harvard Business Review article also emphasises how strategic clarity directly impacts organisational performance 2 . It's not just about planning, it's about aligning vision with execution, while being flexible enough to pivot in response to changing market realities.

Challenges include: ● Making data-driven decisions amidst uncertainty ● Navigating resource limitations ● Leading without full authority across departments ● Understanding new technologies and business models LinkedIn's 2024 Workplace Learning Report 3 highlighted that one of the top three skill gaps among senior professionals is strategic planning.

Language exchange with students: Andhra kids to learn Punjabi, says Punjab education minister Harjot Bains
Chandigarh: The students of Andhra Pradesh govt schools will learn the basics of the Punjabi language under a five-day exchange programme to promote cultural exchange, linguistic diversity, and foster national unity, announced Punjab minister of school education Harjot Singh Bains on Saturday. Bains said Punjab and Andhra Pradesh had been paired under the programme as per directives from the Union ministry of education's department of school education and literacy. As part of the exchange, students from classes VI to X in Punjab govt schools will learn the basics of Telugu, while Andhra Pradesh govt schools will reciprocate by teaching Punjabi to their students. The clarification came amid Punjab-based Teachers' Democratic Front slamming the state govt over sending Punjabi students to Andhra Pradesh to learn Telugu. The minister said this pan-India initiative has seen diverse state pairings, including Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh with Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh with Kerala, Uttarakhand with Karnataka, Haryana with Telangana, Rajasthan with Assam, Gujarat with Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra with Odisha, Goa with Jharkhand, Delhi with Sikkim, Madhya Pradesh with Manipur and Nagaland, Uttar Pradesh with Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya, and Bihar with Tripura and Mizoram, showcasing the programme's extensive reach and cultural exchange potential.
