IIM Sambalpur hosts two-day workshop in collaboration with Harvard Business Publishing Education
IIM Sambalpur, a business school based in India, has hosted a two-day workshop in collaboration with Harvard Business Publishing Education, including a Harvard Business Impact seminar.
IIM Sambalpur faculty members joined PhD Scholars for the intensive training session, using Harvard’s acclaimed case teaching methodology.
Participants at the seminar were given hands-on experience with Harvard case teaching through interactive discussions, case studies, and group activities. The sessions explored the opportunities and challenges of case-based teaching.
The seminar considered how generative AI can be used to support teaching preparation by creating discussion plans, generating alternative cases perspectives, and offering analytics on learning outcomes.
Speaking at the seminar’s inaugural ceremony, Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director at IIM Sambalpur said: “We are excited to host this seminar with Harvard Business Publishing Education, giving our faculty and scholars a chance to learn the formal method of case-based teaching from some of the best in the world. In today’s era, AI is the equalizer, and it also integrates ideas as well.
“We all are aware of the disruption of AI. In this age of AI and rapid change in the business world, it is essential to focus on creativity, culture, and the human side of the business areas where AI cannot replace us. As a new IIM, we want to think differently, teach differently, and prepare our students to lead in this changing world.”
The 2-day seminar was conducted by Prof. V.G. Narayanan, Thomas D. Casserly, Jr. Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and Senior Associate Dean of Executive Education at Harvard Business School Online.
Earlier this year, Harvard Business Publishing rebranded its corporate learning and education units as Harvard Business Impact, unifying the company’s learning initiatives across enterprise and education markets.
