The title of the blog reads 'A new perspective on learning and innovation'. I chose this name because that is exactly what was taught to us by our POM professor - T. Prasad. The famous marketing event 'Mandi' is the brainchild of Dr. Prasad, and he is known all over by the name Prof. Mandi for the same reason. The anthem for Mandi is "Becho aur Seekho, Seekho aur Socho, Socho aur Becho" meaning "Sell and learn, Learn and think, Think and sell". These 3 things is all it takes to succeed in business. The first lecture in Mod-1 revolved around the importance of these concepts.
It was supposed to be Communication & negotiation skills lecture. Prof. Mandi walked in to the class to take the POM lecture. We all knew who he was as we had seen the videos and knew what the event was all about. The new perspective to learning that i mentioned earlier started from the moment he entered the classroom. He walked on to the dais, put the chair and table in a corner, and sat on the floor. he encouraged us to do the same as sitting on the chairs all day made the class monotonous. We students liked the idea of having a class like this as it was completely different from the routine lectures. It was a completely different experience altogether.
Professor started off by showing us a model developed by a group of production engineers. He also distributed a few mini-globe-sponge-balls and balancing bird toys. The idea behind doing this was to stress on the importance of innovation in business. This was followed by a series of questions from the students. The questions ranged from the weather in Mumbai to doubts regarding the event Mandi; and of course the management gyaan for which we all are here for. Sir patiently answered all the questions and gave us his views on the current MBA education scenario. He stressed on the importance of Innovation time and again.
We can learn theory from books, but experience is the best teacher. This is the reason why our professor asked us to close all books and pens. All we needed was to use our mind to absorb everything sir was teaching us. Another key takeaway from this lecture was the importance of sharing knowledge. The idea of writing blogs to express your ideas, opinions and share knowledge is indeed a brilliant one. Each blog will have something new to offer, and what we are achieving from all these blogs is a vast repository of knowledge that will help not only the students of NITIE, but also anyone who wishes to learn outside the campus! Happy learning :)
