<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Programme on Strategic Management (Blended Learning D2D mode) by IIM Ahmedabad is designed for working professionals who are ready to step into larger decision-making roles and lead with strategic clarity.

This programme helps participants develop the strategic mindset and frameworks required to analyse their environment, formulate a strategy, and implement it effectively.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delivered in a blended format, the programme combines live online sessions with two campus modules at IIM Ahmedabad, ensuring academic rigour with practical relevance. Participants engage in interactive learning anchored in the case method—where real business scenarios sharpen judgement, improve strategic thinking, and build confidence to lead high-impact initiatives.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the end of the programme, participants will be equipped to analyse industry dynamics, interpret competitive signals, draw insights from strategic evaluation, and translate them into meaningful choices that support organisational growth and long-term advantage.</span></p>
