The project has an ‘eclectic’ structure in the truest sense that gives learnings across the spectrum of business functions and understand how a business unit runs. Success in the corporate ladder journey warrants not just domain expertise but also understanding of how business is done.I was recently given the onus to manage a special assignment on Japan overtime issues (working hours). I travelled to the magnanimous city of Tokyo to get a perspective on work culture, Japanese regulations, and document a full-flooded Project Plan. I have had one-on-one sessions with Japan sales head, HR head, and finance team members to get first-hand information on how things work at our Japan offices. It is interesting to hone the skills of solving this business puzzle, getting inputs from diverse streams and identifying the important check-points to lay down the path for reaching the final goal-post.
To be honest, I was sceptical at first to accept this rotation-2 as I had no prior experience in Operations as well as the tricky landscape of APAC region. But after having frank and open discussions with E.L.I.T.E. core team and my People Manager, I had given my affirmation. In hindsight, it was one of the best decisions, as I am truly enjoying the mammoth learnings and high-quality professional experiences in this second rotation of the E.L.I.T.E. General Management Program.I will be back with updates on how the rotation proceeds and the next adventure on the E.L.I.T.E journey.
