- Expectations for the workshop were gathered from participants and clustered into themes around learning from each other, understanding competency-based learning, and facilitation techniques.
- Concepts like competency, the competency development process, and Theme-Centered Interaction methodology were introduced and discussed.
- Facilitation techniques like seating arrangements, body language, and group dynamics models were also examined.
This document summarizes a 2-day workshop aimed at sharing experiences using competency frameworks for designing learning solutions. Representatives from the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) and Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) presented on their processes for developing competency-based training modules. LBSNAA worked with GIZ to co-design a leadership training for civil servants based on competencies like self-awareness and integrity. ASCI uses competency analysis to understand participants' development needs and draws from industry examples to incorporate competencies into traditional training. The workshop discussed challenges like assessing impact and ensuring competencies translate to habits after training.
GIZ and LBSNAA co-designed a leadership development program for IAS officers to focus on self-awareness, serving people, leading others, and integrity. A training of trainers workshop was held in April 2014 and the program was then implemented in May 2014 for 186 IAS officer trainees. The pioneering program was well-received as it helped future leaders reflect on aligning their personal values with their roles in public service. The partnership between GIZ and LBSNAA aims to continue developing leadership skills for future government leaders in India.
Documentation report lbsnaa to t dec 2014kakaninet
This document reports on a leadership development workshop held from December 6-7, 2014 at LBSNAA. The workshop was facilitated by Mr. Mohan Dhamotharan and aimed to provide trainees a taste of leadership tools and techniques to increase reflection before deeper training. A variety of exercises were used focused on competencies like leading with passion, managing self and others, and cultural context of leadership. Feedback from participants and trainers was positive, with most finding the workshop engaging and looking forward to future leadership modules.
1. The document describes a workshop co-designed by GIZ and LBSNAA to develop a leadership module for newly appointed IAS officers in India.
2. GIZ has experience developing competency-based leadership programs, while LBSNAA provides leadership training for IAS officers. Representatives from both organizations met to leverage their collective expertise.
3. Over two days, GIZ shared experiences from its climate and global governance leadership programs. LBSNAA shared its current leadership offerings. The groups discussed frameworks for leadership competencies and designed a customized module focused on leadership challenges in India.
This document discusses personal finance planning and management. It provides general rules for investing, such as that money makes money so it's important to start small savings. It then discusses various investment options in India like fixed deposits, stocks, mutual funds, insurance, real estate, and gold. Specific average returns for these options from 1979-2012 are presented. The concepts of risk and return are discussed, showing higher risk investments provide higher potential returns but more uncertainty. Overall guidelines provided include starting early, diversifying investments, reviewing portfolios periodically, and understanding that while money can enable opportunities and security, it does not directly buy happiness.
This document provides an overview of the failed IT company Silverline Technologies Limited. It discusses Silverline's growth from 1997 to 2002, with rising sales, profits, and share prices. However, from 2002 onwards Silverline began to struggle, with falling sales, profits, share prices, and market capitalization. The document examines possible reasons for Silverline's downfall, including external factors like recession, as well as systematic manipulation of accounting policies, such as overstating assets and understating liabilities. It also notes issues such as related party transactions, high figures reported on financial statements, and numerous legal cases facing Silverline. The document concludes by discussing the importance of corporate governance and transparency to avoid such business failures.
The document examines the changing ownership structure of the Tata Group after JRD Tata's leadership. It discusses how the group moved from a loose federation of independent companies to a more consolidated structure under Ratan Tata. Key changes include increasing cross-holdings between companies, setting retirement ages for CEOs, promoting a unified brand, and exiting some businesses. This created a pyramidal structure with complex web of holdings to increase the Tata's control over affiliates despite having a minority ownership stake.
2008 insights into land acquisitions experiences kakaninet
This document discusses land acquisition experiences of private businesses in India. It analyzes case studies of both successful and unsuccessful land acquisitions. Key factors that lead to unsuccessful acquisitions included acquiring fertile land, lack of direct communication with local communities, and not providing acceptable rehabilitation packages. Successful acquisitions involved avoiding productive land, open communication with locals, equitable benefit sharing, and coordinated corporate communications. The document also presents a framework for determining which stakeholders require consent versus consultation based on their level of influence.
2005 issues in a poverty alleviation programkakaninet
1. The paper examines the implementation of the SGRY rural employment program in India, which was designed by the central government to provide wage employment and construct rural infrastructure.
2. In practice, the program diverged from its original rules in several ways at the local implementation level, such as favoring more material-intensive projects rather than labor-intensive ones.
3. This is because the local political and administrative actors prioritized different development goals than those outlined by the central government, and there was an exchange of benefits between local actors and contractors to facilitate deviations from the rules.

2008 emerging strategies in distance learning of management education
1. Management Education in India: Emerging
Strategies in Distance Learning
==================================
11th Strategic Management
Convention
IIT Kanpur, 8-10 May 2008
Let me state that the remarks represent my own views
(based on limited information and knowledge) – Ram
Kumar Kakani, Professor, XLRI Jamshedpur, India
2. What is Distance Learning?
Teachers and students are physically separate from one
another (Evans, 2001)
Universities and programs we are aware of:
IGNOU Open University (offers even Ph.D.)
Dr Ambedkar Open University (offers even Ph.D.)
Annamalai Univesity (Bachelors and Masters) 1979
University of Madras (Bachelors)
Kamraj University (Bachelors)
University of Delhi (Bachelors)
Institute of Materials Management (Certificate Programs)

4. The Big Picture …
There have been a handful of inventions throughout human
civilization (and related innovations within them) that have
profoundly affected history.
Take the case of transportation.
Walking is essential, but, it was the invention of wheel that
has been the most efficient and effective invention.
The invention of the wheel gave a boost to travelling, trade,
exchange of good and services to take place.
The arrival of technology-based distance learning will
probably have a similar impact on the field of education.
RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 4
5. The Big Picture …
Travel by steam locomotive engine in 1814 at speed of
10 Kms per hour resulted in strong resistance
Similarly, it is my personal opinion that technology
based distance learning and the concept of virtual
classrooms are significant inventions in the field of
education and imparting knowledge.
While they faced large scepticism among the society in
early days, things are changing.
Today, it faces pockets of resistance (probably by
stakeholders having entrenched positions).

9. How was the Progress?
It was a loosely bound alliance
XLRI launched two certificate programs … PGCBM and
PGCHRM …
There were a lot of positives (especially in terms of our reach,
industry impact, and revenues)
But, initially our brand was under threat
Largely due to lack of control (and monitoring) over HECL’s
franchisees
In 2003, XLRI launched a series of short term programs (Rural
Marketing, Risk Metrics, FNFE, Competency Assessment, … )

10. Virtual Classrooms …
Using satellite-based technology, it virtually brings together a
community of learners into a virtual classroom where they can
interact with each other.
Uses methods ranging from video conference, audio
interactivity, web, library, peer chat, and taking online tests
These methods if used intelligently will engage the students in
the learning process through an interactive environment
involving the students, on-line materials and an instructor.
At XLRI, these methods combined with a compulsory ‘campus
component’ ensure that the student integrates into the XL
culture and meets the faculty and peer students face-to-face.RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 10

Their responsibility includes:
Course Scheduling, Course Outline, Course
Material
Attending Satellite Classes (sessions)
Course Assistance/ Evaluation of Class
Participation, Examinations, Plus Assignments
Plus Advertisements, Admissions, and Convocation
Plus handling … Student Queries, Partnership
Issues, Grade related issue, Accounts-related
Issues, etc. RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 13
14. What were the Learning’s?
Need to control & monitor the programme continuously
(even at extra cost) …
Steps were taken …
Need to ensure that the faculty understands the
difference of handling a course on the satellite …
Steps were taken …
Need to keep in touch with the students and care for
them …
Some steps … but …
Need to change with time … steps were taken … but …
RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 14
15. Where is XLRI going?
Focus on Skill Enhancement Programs
And be the # 1 player
A larger issue was realised ...
Conventional classroom-based learning will not be
capable of meeting the escalating demand for higher
education!!
RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 15
16. How does XLRI plan to go from here?
One Suggestion … for Executive Education …
Module Based MBA …
Have some modules system … reward a candidate
if he fulfills a pre-specified set of modules …
But … there are large number of
implementations issues to be resolved, and
issues related to mindset (internal acceptance)
to be cleared
RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 16
17. Best Practices
In India?
Probably, there are not many other available best
practices
In Asia?
There are no such programs
We searched … NUS, AIT, AIM, etc.
Across the globe?
There are a few of them in
Australia
Europe (EQUAL)

21. Cambridge e-MBA
In Sep. 2001, Cambridge University’s business school
joined forces with Financial Times (Pearson plc), to offer
this new degree.
791 years ago Cambridge University passed a rule
requiring all students to reside in the town of Cambridge,
England. In 2000, that rule was revoked. The 800 year-old
rulebook had to be altered to make way for the university’s
first Internet-enabled program, the global e-MBA.
In Mar. 2003, Cambridge decided to stop this initiative and
not pursue it. So there are examples of failure also ...

28. Institutional Capacity for Change!
B-schools and universities are generally regarded as
being stubbornly resistant to change as a result of the
typically conservative and reactionary pressures both
internal and external to the organization. (Taylor, 2005)
In most b-schools, the development of technology-
based distance learning initiatives are not systemic, but
often the result of random acts of innovation initiated by
risk-taking individual academics.
RKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 28
29. Concluding Remarks
I would like to note my belief that technology is the key
component of an efficient distance learning mechanism.
Most b-schools are yet to take the path from ‘technology-
enhanced classroom learning’ to ‘technology-based distance
learning’
Ideally, the implementation of technology-based distance
learning needs to be strategically planned, systematically
integrated and institutionally comprehensive.
Expect haphazard change to continue working with b-schools
and regulators in the future to ensure that the distance
learning is sufficiently establishedRKK @ XLRI Jamshedpur2008 29
30. Concluding Remarks
Distance learning deserves to share a higher spotlight
with the residential programs (to ensure wider reach
and impact)
It can be done by increasingly adapting to new
technology and giving individual students the tools
they need to become active participants (in the
classroom).
I believe that increasing control (by b-schools) could
reinforce distance learning’s integrity and, ultimately,
result in increased industry confidence and ensure that
the distance learning becomes strong and vibrant.
