Advance Data Presentation Skills

Business Analytics & Intelligence course from IIM Bangalore

The theory of bounded rationality proposed by Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon is evermore significant today with increasing complexity of the business problems; limited ability of the human mind to analyze the alternative solutions and the limited time available for decision making. Introduction of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems has ensured availability of data in many organizations; however, traditional ERP systems lacked data analysis capabilities that can assist the management in decision making. Business Analytics is a set of techniques and processes that can be used to analyse data to improve business performance through fact-based decision-making. Business Analytics and Business Intelligence create capabilities for companies to compete in the market effectively. Business Analytics and Big Data has become one of the main functional areas in most companies. Analytics companies develop the ability to support their decisions through analytic reasoning using variety of statistical and mathematical techniques. Thomas Devonport in his book titled, “Competing on analytics: The new science of winning”, claims that a significant proportion of high-performance companies have high analytical skills among their personnel. On the other hand, a recent study has also revealed that more than 59% of the organizations do not have information required for decision making.
In a recent article based on a survey of nearly 3000 executives, MIT Sloan Management Review reported that there is striking correlation between an organization’s analytics sophistication and its competitive performance. The biggest obstacle to adopting analytics is the lack of knowhow about using it to improve business performance. Business Analytics uses statistical, operations research and management tools to drive business performance. Many companies offer similar kind of products and services to customers based on similar design and technology and find it difficult to differentiate their product/service from their competitors. However, companies such as Amazon, Google, HP, Netflix, Proctor and Gamble and Capital One use analytics as competitive strategy. Business Analytics helps companies to find the most profitable customer and allows them to justify their marketing effort, especially when the competition is very high. There is significant evidence from the corporate world that the ability to make better decisions improves with analytical skills. This course is designed to provide in-depth knowledge of business analytic techniques and their applications in improving business processes and decision-making.
The course consists of eight modules and a project. The duration of each module is usually 5-6 days except for module 2 (2 days) and module 7 (2 days). There will be online tutorial sessions every week on problem solving using analytics in addition to the 8 modules. There is an optional module on, “SAS” which shall be conducted by SAS Institute’s analytical consultants and is mapped on to the international predictive modeling certification using SAS enterprise miner. Details of SAS module is provided in a separate annexure. Case-based teaching will be used for all the modules using case studies from IIMB, Harvard Business School (HBS), Darden, Ivey, and Kellogg. Significant proportions of the cases used in the course are published by IIMB faculty at the Harvard Business Publishing. A few of them are actually published by the students from the previous batches based on their project work.

Quantitative Finance 
Quantitative Finance or Mathematical finance is a field of applied mathematics, concerned with financial markets. Generally, mathematical finance will derive and extend the mathematical or numerical models without necessarily establishing a link to financial theory, taking observed market prices as input. Mathematical consistency is required, not compatibility with economic theory. Thus, for example, while a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a financial mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to usestochastic calculus to obtain the corresponding value of derivatives of the stock (see: Valuation of options; Financial modeling). The fundamental theorem of arbitrage-free pricing is one of the key theorems in mathematical finance, while the Black–Scholes equation and formula are amongst the key results.

Mathematical finance also overlaps heavily with the field of computational finance (as well as financial engineering). The latter focuses on application, while the former focuses on modeling and derivation (see: Quantitative analyst), often by help of stochastic asset models. In general, there exist two separate branches of finance that require advanced quantitative techniques: derivatives pricing on the one hand, and risk- and portfolio management on the other.

In India, among the many institutes offering courses in quantitative finance is Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance. Please find the course details at the following link http://iiqf.org/courses.html

Advanced Diploma in International Taxation


ADIT, the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation, is a specialised advanced qualification set by the Chartered Institute of Taxation in international and cross border taxation and is suitable for all professionals.
The ADIT Qualification provides the opportunity to prove and improve you or your team's credentials as an International Tax Professional. International Taxation is an important part of the work of many tax advisers. However, a key characteristic of international advisers is that they have a variety of backgrounds and they typically spend time in more than one country. The Institute recognised a demand both in and outside the UK for a specialised qualification to meet the needs of international tax practitioners in the corporate area, and in 2003 introduced the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT).
The overall standard of the qualification is comparable to the CIOT's gold standard CTA qualification in the UK. The Institute considers that there are significant benefits in having an internationally recognised qualification and ADIT indicates a high level of competence in international taxation.
The Diploma is supervised by an Academic Board of distinguished international tax practitioners. Holders of the Diploma are entitled to use the designatory letters "ADIT" after their name.
The Diploma is a free-standing qualification which will not give the right to membership of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. However, holders of the Diploma may apply to become an 'International Tax Affiliate of the Chartered Institute of Taxation'.

Quantitative Finance 
Quantitative Finance or Mathematical finance is a field of applied mathematics, concerned with financial markets. Generally, mathematical finance will derive and extend the mathematical or numerical models without necessarily establishing a link to financial theory, taking observed market prices as input. Mathematical consistency is required, not compatibility with economic theory. Thus, for example, while a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a financial mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to usestochastic calculus to obtain the corresponding value of derivatives of the stock (see: Valuation of options; Financial modeling). The fundamental theorem of arbitrage-free pricing is one of the key theorems in mathematical finance, while the Black–Scholes equation and formula are amongst the key results.


Mathematical finance also overlaps heavily with the field of computational finance (as well as financial engineering). The latter focuses on application, while the former focuses on modeling and derivation (see: Quantitative analyst), often by help of stochastic asset models. In general, there exist two separate branches of finance that require advanced quantitative techniques: derivatives pricing on the one hand, and risk- and portfolio management on the other.

In India, among the many institutes offering courses in quantitative finance is Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance. Please find the course details at the following link http://iiqf.org/courses.html



Mini MBA or 10-Day MBA which summarises the essence of full time MBA


Specialised courses in commerce domain - Job Guarentee / Earn while you learn / Skill development
What after B.Com : Specialised courses in commerce domain




Speacialised courses in commerce domain

The demand for Commerce education has spiralled over the last decade to an extent that it has eclipsed the significance of Science education. To believe that Commerce education now proves more popular than the pursuit of the basic sciences is difficult to comprehend for the older generation which venerated science and associated Commerce with clerical work. However, the manner in which society has now started to view Commerce has undergone a transformation. In the process the subject of Commerce itself has diversified into various allied disciplines.
Today students of Commerce at the graduate level could opt for a range of courses and options.  For instance, a student could either opt for Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Commerce (Honours). Beyond these other options would include: Bachelor of Investment and Financial Accounting or Bachelor of Business Studies, Bachelor of Commerce in Foreign Trade, among others. Similarly at the post graduate level the menu is diverse which includes: Masters in Commerce, Masters in International Business and Master’s in Human Resource and Organizational Development, Master’s in Finance and Control are few of the various options listed here.

Booming economy
Evidently such a trend loaded in favour of Commerce manifests in the higher education space and is a reflection of a booming economy. These signs would include : Increasing industrialization, outsourcing of work in the IT and ITES sectors from the western industrial democracies, changes in global economy, increase in entry  of multi-national companies into the country, expansion of service sector in the national economy. Together all these considerations have fuelled an increase in demand for Commerce trained professionals.
Earlier impressions were that after a Bachelor of Commerce, the only jobs available were those of accountants eligible for clerical jobs. All these notions have changed with the availability of new avenues of work in and Commerce professionals at the helm of organizations. So much so, Commerce graduates now have a wider range of responsibilities that span diverse job functions from human resources and marketing to accounts and finance to logistics and even research. Moreover, globalization has integrated India with other developed and developing economies and in the process also encouraged many multinational companies to enter the country.
Clearly all these developments have spurred an interest in these companies of the need to adopt global standards in accounting. For instance, today companies listed in domestic and overseas stock exchanges which aim to improve their industry standing are inclined to adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) – specific guidelines which are globally accepted accounting practices for comparability and transparency of financial statements.
Considering the dearth of professionals who are able to comprehend IFRS requirements there is a heightened demand for Commerce graduates and trained professionals. In view of this there exists phenomenal potential for India to develop its higher education sector in Commerce and develop it into a whole new outsourcing industry. In response to such levels of demand higher education centers have lately begun to incorporate the IFRS into their syllabi and thereby provide a work force of students to ‘near-industry’ standards.

Description: http://vtnlog-1536340128.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com/beacon/vtpixpc.gif?pid=1076&vid=0&pixelfrom=ep&type=vp

Niche domains

Besides for Commerce graduates to acquire professional qualifications in niche domains, traditional options include: Chartered Accountancy, Institute of Cost Accountants of India, besides Associate Company Secretary and MBA in Finance. The new breed of courses include:  the Certified Accounting Technician which caters to the accounting profession at the mid level and specifically support the requirements of Chartered Accountants in the industry and service sectors. The Chartered Financial Analyst provides a strong foundation for advanced investment analysis. All these courses train students to transform into specialized professionals. Other options include IT-based courses like Tally or Cyber security.
Another emerging area of specialization is Business Development which appears to be gaining momentum and now only a few private universities offer it. Eventually any sphere of business is all about increasing the bottom line and business development is integral to this exercise. This would especially prove useful to those students who are oriented to become entrepreneurs.
For those Commerce students interested solely in stock markets they can evolve their skills with courses like the NCDEX Commodity Certification Course run by National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange Ltd, certification program in Financial Engineering and Risk Management by the National Institute of Securities Markets.  For students the flexibility to choose options in Commerce education only enhances the appeal factor of the subject.
Another approach is to choose a combination of a regular course and a professional course or to do a diploma course simultaneously and be ‘near industry-ready’ as soon as students graduate from college.

Quantitative Finance 
Quantitative Finance or Mathematical finance is a field of applied mathematics, concerned with financial markets. Generally, mathematical finance will derive and extend the mathematical or numerical models without necessarily establishing a link to financial theory, taking observed market prices as input. Mathematical consistency is required, not compatibility with economic theory. Thus, for example, while a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a financial mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to usestochastic calculus to obtain the corresponding value of derivatives of the stock (see: Valuation of options; Financial modeling). The fundamental theorem of arbitrage-free pricing is one of the key theorems in mathematical finance, while the Black–Scholes equation and formula are amongst the key results.

Mathematical finance also overlaps heavily with the field of computational finance (as well as financial engineering). The latter focuses on application, while the former focuses on modeling and derivation (see: Quantitative analyst), often by help of stochastic asset models. In general, there exist two separate branches of finance that require advanced quantitative techniques: derivatives pricing on the one hand, and risk- and portfolio management on the other.

Advanced Diploma in International Taxation


ADIT, the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation, is a specialised advanced qualification set by the Chartered Institute of Taxation in international and cross border taxation and is suitable for all professionals.
The ADIT Qualification provides the opportunity to prove and improve you or your team's credentials as an International Tax Professional. International Taxation is an important part of the work of many tax advisers. However, a key characteristic of international advisers is that they have a variety of backgrounds and they typically spend time in more than one country. The Institute recognised a demand both in and outside the UK for a specialised qualification to meet the needs of international tax practitioners in the corporate area, and in 2003 introduced the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT).
The overall standard of the qualification is comparable to the CIOT's gold standard CTA qualification in the UK. The Institute considers that there are significant benefits in having an internationally recognised qualification and ADIT indicates a high level of competence in international taxation.
The Diploma is supervised by an Academic Board of distinguished international tax practitioners. Holders of the Diploma are entitled to use the designatory letters "ADIT" after their name.
The Diploma is a free-standing qualification which will not give the right to membership of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. However, holders of the Diploma may apply to become an 'International Tax Affiliate of the Chartered Institute of Taxation'.

Mini MBA or 10-Day MBA which summarises the essence of full time MBA






Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn


"THE ILLITERATES OF THE 21ST CENTURY WILL NOT BE THOSE WHO CANNOT READ AND WRITE
BUT THOSE WHO CANNOT LEARN, UNLEARN, AND RELEARN”- ALVIN TOFFLER



while the above qoute is a good inspiration to think about learning Marcia Conner provided the below tips how to implement the same.

The secret to learning new things is to be willing to unlearn--even if your behaviors previously brought success.
One summer in college I canvassed for a local non-profit. We went door to door telling people about the organization and asking them to sign various petitions. I recited my spiel a hundred times. "Hi, my name is Marcia and I'd like five minutes to tell you a little about..."
Halfway through the season my boss asked me to insert a slice of bologna in one shoe. I followed his request, but only after considering telling him where to stick the lunch meat.
At the first house we visited, I physically couldn't say my opening the same way. The bologna distracted me enough so that I needed to reflect on e-v-e-r-y word. The next day, without the bologna, my approach was still fresh, engaging, and more successful than it had been two days before. I had unlearned, and I had relearned.
Unlearning can be a one-shot (one-shoe?) deal or a daily practice. It can help you become open to new skills, experiences, behaviors, and knowledge. Although you can't physiologically unlearn anything--literally erase existing neural pathways--you can create the equivalent of a mental attic and put a sign on the door that reads, "Things I know no longer so." Then you can shift your focus to the edge of what you knew and transition from managing your knowledge to participating in the flow. Here's how.

Begin at the beginning. In order to pick up a new skill, even if it's similar to something you already can do, learn what makes it different. All of us repeat things that worked in the past, even when they don't apply to the now. Repeating isn't always a bad strategy, but when there is a significant difference, the old approach holds you back.
I'll never forget a husband-and-wife team who came to me to learn how to kayak. The guy was a canoeist and he just wouldn't set aside what he knew about canoeing in order to learn about kayaking. He spent his early lessons trying to compare the two types of boats and tried repeating canoe strokes he was certain would work. As a result, he continually found himself facing the bottom of the swimming pool where our class took place. What he knew already wasn't as useful as what he needed to learn fresh. Meanwhile, his wife, a complete novice, made significant progress from the first day.

Stay open. Unlearning doesn't require you to toss out all your accumulated experiences or presume previous know-how will keep you from success. Rather, it asks that you stay open to different ways of getting things done.
What happens when you begin a new job? You learn about the new organization and the department where you'll work while you unpeel the mindset and procedures of the groups you just left. Your refusal to unlearn old rules (for instance, comparing everything to the way it worked at the old company) leaves you out of the corporate culture and keeps you from getting a clear sense of the job. By thinking, "This is how we did it where I used to work," you miss learning opportunities and you avoid moving in. If you go in looking at how the new organization works, thereby replacing your old activities with new ones, you systematically begin to forget what's no longer useful and you begin to prepare for what's next.

Look for mirrors. Make it easy for your boss, coworkers, employees, family, and friends to give you guidance by asking for it. The more people you have in your life who help you reflect on your behaviors, the greater your chance to gain an accurate sense of how other people perceive you and which actions to unlearn.
During Friday lunch meetings with his team members, John Seely Brown (when he was still working at Xerox PARC) focused on what they did well, what they did wrong, and what they learned from it all. A primary objective was to help the team learn and unlearn. One day, team members remarked that whenever they saw John make a certain face in response to someone's idea, it was obvious that the idea didn't stand a chance. John had the next meeting videotaped. Sure enough, he saw for himself that he did sometimes wear a disapproving expression. From then on, whenever that feeling washed over him, he worked to change his facial expression and to listen more attentively to the other person's views.

Examine your beliefs. Your beliefs determine your behavior and it's difficult to act inconsistently with your beliefs for very long. When you believe you already know the right way to do things, everything else can seem wrong. Why then would you want to unlearn what you're currently doing, let alone replace it with something else?
A company I work with needed a way to ready the industry for their offerings and increase the firm's name recognition. Their research and publications team seemed suited for the task. Although widening the market and strengthening brand was far more lucrative than the sales the team brought in by selling papers, the group refused to give anything away. They believed what they were doing was right; that people wouldn't value the research as much if it was freely available, and that clients preferred paper copies to online versions. No matter how many times the CEO told them to blanket the marketplace with information, they continued to do what they'd always done. Then we sent them all to an industry event where they spent time asking questions and challenging their beliefs. Something almost magical happened. The people they met expressed their appreciation for the company's reports, asking if they could have the rights to reproduce and then distribute the research to their customers, too. Within a few days the team developed a new set of beliefs around their value to the industry. They began behaving like a team of market researchers and industry evangelists rather than a product group generating sales for one company.
So what are you going to unlearn first? Create a list of several approaches. Write it your journal or on a sticky note to post on the computer, the television, the dashboard, or your desk--then buy yourself a few slices of bologna.




Learning helps you to find new solutions to old problems




Bite-Size or Micro eLearning

We’re living in the age of short attention spans. The age of multiple web browsers open at the same time. The age of checking your mobile device every few minutes. The age of skimming news articles and fast-forwarding through commercials.

Now, when it comes to your eLearning, the concept of a short attention span doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. In fact, society’s desire for quick and efficient information can work in the favor of your eLearning program—if you let it.

Previously, we discussed the difficulty in finding the right length for your training course. Today, we’re happy to introduce you to an option that might suit the needs of your busy employees to a tee: bite-sized or micro eLearning.

What is Bite-Sized or Micro eLearning?
In truth, it’s almost exactly what it sounds like: eLearning in a snackable size. Occasionally also referred to as “chunking,” Micro eLearning takes the problem with short attention spans and uses it to its advantage. Larger concepts are broken up into short and sweet lessons that can be easily accessed at a pace the learner chooses.
The digital aspect of eLearning plays perfectly into the desire for small, bite-sized components. Learners can choose which section to access on their schedule without having to commit to sitting through a lengthy program. Micro eLearning also makes returning to different concepts for review more manageable.

5 Reasons Micro eLearning Works
·         1. It’s easier to remember. According to the Information Process Theory, our brains are meant to remember information in chunks. By breaking up your eLearning program into sections that make it more manageable, you aren’t just playing into your learners’ probability for distraction, you’re also helping their brains process the information in a way that is more likely to commit it to memory.

·         2. It takes eLearning on the go. Just like communication and email has moved beyond “in the office” to “in the pocket,” eLearning is also more attractive when it can be accessed on your employees’ terms. Let’s say they have a 20-minute wait at the dentist’s office. Rather than waste that time scrolling through social media, they can get through an entire bite-sized lesson.

·         3. It’s less intimidating. Finding a big chunk of time to sit through a training session can be overwhelming. However, asking them to take a few minutes “here and there” to complete their training is much less intimidating and creates a flexible atmosphere.

·         4. It respects your employees’ busy schedules. Creating your eLearning in chunks shows your employees that you understand how busy they are. They’ll be more likely to complete their training without complaining when it fits into their lifestyle, instead of the other way around. 

·         5. It avoids the issue of boredom. One of the biggest reasons your employees likely dread going through training is fear of being bored. By reducing the amount of time they have to pay attention at once, you can hold their attention and keep them engaged.
