Guest Lecture At IIM Sambalpur By Mr Shajan Ninan, Founder & CEO, Kaizen Centre For Finance And Entrepreneurship, Harvard University Alumnus

He introduced the class to strategy concepts, its types and how it should be used to formulate and implement to create value in real world business scenarios. He then dived deep into the importance of strategy and how to incorporate it in various business scenarios. He also discussed various new frameworks to solve a case study. He began by defining how a case is a big picture view of the way a company is going to win. He asked us to put ourselves in the shoes of the protagonist to be able to analyse the case better.

Mr Ninan helped us in articulating facts to apply the concepts and frameworks appropriately. The students of IIM Sambalpur actively participated in solving the case by putting forth their observations and viewpoints. He put our brain cells to work and his session was a good learning curve to sharpen our bright minds. Participants found a new perspective of solving a case study and it proved to be an invaluable session for them. We are sure some of his learnings and values will help the students look at some aspects of the corporate world in a new light and hence encourage them to learn and explore further.
