Our Teaching Methodology – Using Simulation

A great and practical way to develop strategic thinking and to understand the dynamics of cross- functional decision making has become the need of the hour. Practical exposure for students to understand and fill the business performance gaps with the inclusion of experiential learning has become vital today with any B schools in Delhi NCR.

Christ Institute of Management organized a two day rigorous experiential Simulation Workshop. This was delivered by an industry expert with vast experience. It combined the complexities and the realistic business environment with sessions to equip students with better understanding of business concepts in an integrated manner. This workshop was intended for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. It gave thorough insights into the meaning of ‘strategy’ and ability to make cross-functional decisions. Obviously, it was a practical & fun-filled workshop. It had a highly dynamic, reality based and action oriented sessions to appreciate how cross-functional decisions affect overall business Strategy.

The experiential workshop was well organized with concepts introduced at the right moments to enhance the quality of learning experience of our students. These simulations helped to trigger a behaviour change by exposing gaps and present opportunities. They also developed diverse perspectives like a preview of the next level of responsibility, or the view from another department’s perspective. Lot of the mental blocks were cleared. Our Students benefitted most by gaining exposure in applying concepts to real situations.  They converted the theoretical knowledge to practical implementation. They understood the need of formulating and synchronizing strategy with the market forces and stakeholder goals and keeping the day-to-day micromanagement to a strategic role with a long-term perspective. This gave a real sense of tracking financial impact tools and framework in long-term financial impact of any major business decisions. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the optimum positioning and customer centricity and the acute awareness of the market potential.

The simulations helped student managers realize gaps and opportunities. They achieved this by making them take decisions and act and then providing real-time results and feedback on those decisions and the best practices prevalent. Another feature was that students were able to step-into-the-shoes of other functions, departments or business units, to understand their unique pressures and levers. It gave great insights into how a company is actually run and dispels a lot of notions that most of our students should know by working in silos. The simulated environment traces real-world market forces and practical problems.

Few Testimonies from our students

It was a good simulation with thoughtful insight into the market. The way to penetrate into a new market and the financial and sales forecasting decisions to be taken. It basically taught us how to know the customers better and acting accordingly. Thank you so much

The experience was fantastic. I came to know how to implement theoretical knowledge in the practical world
