Chief Operations Officer Programme

As per PwC’s COO Insights, 49% of COOs strongly agree they can reinvent the business through new technology. But without near-term plans for execution, such as examining use cases, clearly stating goals and understanding how they’ll have to remodel their teams, achieving this transformation becomes difficult. You must develop multi-pronged strategies that span operating models, cost structure, market footprint, and tech-driven innovation. Regardless of how you evolve, one word sums up your journey, and the mandate of the modern-day COO: Transformation.

To support current and emerging COOs with transformative long-term plans, IIM Kozhikode has launched its Chief Operations Officer Programme. Designed for seasoned operations and supply chain leaders, the programme will equip you with technology and data driven strategic mindset to enable customer-centric value creation and achieve strategic operational excellence. You will hone your financial acumen, C-suite leadership quotient, executive presence, capabilities to spearhead transformation and change management. Get the global edge with Kellogg Executive Education through its modules on AI Applications and Growth Strategies.

• For aspiring COOs and operational leaders, looking to strengthen knowledge with cutting-edge topics in technology, design thinking, AI, digital supply chain, agile, and risk resilience; and keen to build valuable networks, deepen insights, and develop C-Suite leadership skills with a focus on efficiency and resilience.

• For new and evolving COOs who want to focus on cutting-edge practices for driving efficiency, innovation, and growth; and keen to enhance strategic skills for optimal operations, strengthen relationships with influential leaders, and foster collaboration.

Embark on a transformative journey with an integrated Capstone project. Harness the collective power of classroom wisdom, insights from esteemed faculty and guest speakers, and collaborative peer perspectives. Diagnose strategic business risks and opportunities, strategize how operations is to be leveraged to achieve future competitive advantages, and prepare an action plan for operational transformation of the organization. The integrated capstone journey would include two dedicated connects with the programme coordinators for assessing the progress, discuss feedback and the project direction. There would be an intermediate submission and a final project submission. Towards the end, the projects groups would also make a final presentation before the programme coordinators and peers.

During the modules by IIMK, various simulation exercises would be carried out. This would help in providing a more practice-oriented learning to the participants. Simulations chosen may include module-based simulations and integrated simulations (during the on-campus module, towards the end of the program). This would expose the participants as to how operations connect to the overall business goals and can make a significant difference in the business outcome.
