The first such programme, designed for joint secretaries by IIM-Bangalore and IIM-Indore, will be conducted during January 25 to February 5, 2010 at IIM-B.
DoPT secretary Shantanu Consul wrote a letter to all Government of India secretaries on January 8, 2010, to nominate and relieve one of the joint secretaries from each department or ministry for the purpose. The cost of the course fee, boarding and lodging will be met by DoPT whereas travel costs will be borne by the concerned ministries.
The programme is designed to make a joint secretary level officer develop a strategic orientation and become innovative, adaptive and flexible. They are expected to adopt an user or stakeholder orientation.
And yes, the course includes a module of watching a movie “Ek Rukha Hua Faisla” to explore how to influence others to think out of the box!
