New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Management Raipur (IIM Raipur) has launched the latest cohort of its Executive Development Programme in General Management. This 12-month blended programme prepares professionals aspiring to accelerate their career trajectories by building a robust foundation in business strategy, cross-functional leadership, and analytical decision-making.

The blended programme empowers learners to lead amid complexity, drive innovation, and adopt a holistic approach to managing diverse functions. As businesses navigate the intricacies of a globalised, digital-first economy, professionals today must seamlessly integrate strategy, leadership, operations, finance, marketing and human capital. The curriculum enables them to do just that – fostering adaptability and sustainable leadership. The Executive Development Programme in General Management prepares learners for senior management roles, entrepreneurship and decision-making in a digital and global business environment. 

What sets the IIM Raipur Executive Programme in General Management apart is its strategically structured, 10-module curriculum, which begins with Module 0 – a foundational segment covering Managerial and Business Economics that contextualises business decisions with macroeconomic and environmental frameworks. The program meticulously crafts each subsequent module to build strategic acumen in key management domains—from Data Analytics and Financial Management to Marketing, HR, Operations, and Artificial Intelligence for business. The inclusion of modules on Generative AI and Sustainability ensures that learners gain future-oriented insights and develop the ethical sensibilities crucial in today’s leadership landscape.
