Projects are a fundamental part of every company's business plan. India needs more than 70 lakh project managers in the next ten years, and the potential talent gap puts at risk US$23.4 billion in GDP from 2017-27*. To address this need for skilled project managers, IIM Calcutta's Advanced Programme in Strategic Project Management aims to equip mid and senior executives with the ability to plan and effectively manage projects in their organisations.

Delivered through a blend of immersive live online classes and campus immersions at the IIM Calcutta campus, this programme transcends the operational aspects of project management to explore the tactical and behavioural components of leadership and communication that can help you move from managerial to leadership roles. On successfully completing all the evaluation components and attendance criteria, you will receive a certificate of completion and will be eligible for the prestigious IIM Calcutta Executive Education Alumni Status.

Programme Highlights


Rapidly changing business landscape and the uncertainties that it brings along have necessitated organisations to adapt to changes quickly. Organisations that are capable of rapidly adapting to environmental changes can not only maintain their current position but have also taken advantage of the changing environment to their benefit. Such organisations irrespective of their size - from startups to conglomerates, and industries - from conventional manufacturing firms to platform service businesses, are increasingly adopting the project-oriented structure for better accountability.

Climbing up the career ladder in these organisations and successfully leading them requires their managers and leaders to be proficient in Project and Portfolio Management. This programme from IIM Calcutta has been specifically designed for senior executives looking for formal training in project and portfolio management. The programme content introduces the participants to the concepts of project and portfolio management, and the advanced tools and techniques available for implementing them in different businesses. The capstone project provides participants with an opportunity to apply the learnings from the programme to a project through its life cycle.

Given the variety of case studies and exercises used in this programme, we believe this programme will help participants across industries in improving their project management skills and in choosing the right portfolio of projects, thus improving their efficiency and effectiveness.

Organisations need to ratchet up project management skills, processes, and governance structures by implementing a project management office (PMO). Unfortunately, there is little shared understanding of PMO challenges. The AtekPC Project Management Office case study presents one company's efforts to implement a PMO, and the challenges they faced in doing so.
