Infosys-Stanford Join Forces to Enhance Executive Education
Leading provider of business consultation, technology, engineering and outsourcing services, Infosys Ltd. (INFY), announced that it will be teaming up with Stanford Graduate School of Business to develop an integrated executive education program.
Senior executives from Infosys will collaborate with Stanford for designing and developing the advanced program consisting of modules for business management and corporate innovation technologies. This leadership development program has been designed keeping in mind the necessity of efficient management and entrepreneurship skills for the company’s executives, along with its clients and partners.
The program will be delivered on both onsite and offsite basis. Distance-learning technology will also allow live training sessions for the employees. As many as 200 executives from Infosys will be participating in the program for over a period of 3 years. Groups of 40 executives will be trained for a year in order to enable them to test their newly-learned skills on real business problems simultaneously.
Prior to this, Infosys and Stanford had collaborated to initiate the Stanford Ignite Program, a certificate course especially designed for innovators in India to enhance and develop their ideas while making them marketable. As of now, Infosys has hosted this program a couple of times using state-of-the-art teleconferencing facilities at its Bangalore headquarter in India. The next program is scheduled to be hosted in London in 2015. Stanford provides this program across 7 global markets through both in-class and distance-learning technologies.
