Certificate Program in Execution Excellence

Mumbai, India
2022

Today, top-performing organizations around the world are focused on executing excellence across all areas of the business. The reason is simple: the ability to manage value creation processes efficiently and effectively—without waste—provides a competitive advantage.

To fully realize these benefits, companies must identify and educate leaders who can learn the concepts and tools of value stream management; employee inclusion in problem solving; waste reduction; and capability building and innovation.

Individuals who acquire these skills become the lean leaders that their organizations need to help drive change, improve processes, build customer satisfaction, and enhance the company’s competitive position. 

The Certificate Program in Execution Excellence leverages our academic research, corporate collaborations, and proven experience in teaching the principles and practices that deliver measurable impact to companies who are competing in today’s global marketplace.

This program is the result of collaboration among faculty from The Ohio State University and S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR).

Registration is being managed by SPJIMR.

    The Certificate Program in Execution Excellence phases are outlined below. Attendance at phases 1 and 2 is required. Both phases are taught in Mumbai, India. Project work continues in-between phases.

    Pre-Program — Project Selection

    A key part of this course is a live project that each participant will work on, with a coach, throughout the program. The process begins with the participant identifying a challenge or a problem area they will address in their organization. A discussion on the problem area will include a faculty member from the program, the participant along with his/her supervisor or manager, and ideally an executive sponsor from their organization. The intent of this discussion is to ensure that the selected project:

    • is aligned with corporate goals and strategy
    • is relevant to the business / operations
    • will yield meaningful and measurable results / ROI
    • is achievable, within the proper time frame.

    This approach to the live projects is important, both as an essential part of the learning experience, and as a meaningful and financial contributor back to the business that comes with the program investment.
