Week Twentyseven - Part 2 begins

It still doesnt feel like I am already half way through the course. My electives in part 2 are Aligning Marketing and Supply Chain Strategy (AMS), Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation (ENT), Leadership and Top Team Management Skills (LS), Leading and Implementing Change (LIC), Managing Strategic Innovation (MSI) and the ever present Organisational Behaviour and Personal and Professional Development (OBPPD).
Part 2 of the MBA started off with an OBPPD exercise - we played spy games. The planning and managing of a human communication chain covering the campus was the challenge, and as is usual, my team (Pallavi Chandra, Amit Kapoor, Anoop Nair, James Bolle, Parin Makadia and yours truly) rose to the challenge, devised a plan which was accepted by the rest of the group (half the MBA batch) and implemented it successfully. That our plan was more effective than the other group's plan is a sideline (yeah right!).
After this day long exercise on Monday 02 April, I had two electives - Aligning Marketing and Supply Chain Strategy, and Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation. The Entrepreneurship elective is running the first two weeks in Boot Camp fashion, I am not sure this is the way it should go, but they are doing a good job of this, so probably it is the right way.
