The Strategy Academy

Re-thinking the Capability Building Process

Success for All…Powered by Transformation | Strategy | Action

The Strategy Academy Centre for Advanced Studies (TSACAS), set up in 2008 as a Society, is a knowledge-based Professional Service Organization. The Academy was born out of a conviction. A conviction, that individuals and organizations can create and control their futures and destinies, irrespective of what they are up against, provided they are dissatisfied and impatient with what they are doing currently and possess a clear point of view and ambition to do something big and different in whatever space they choose to be in. The Academy is conceived and created by Prof. Ranjan Das, PhD (IIM Ahmedabad) and Professor of Strategic Management at IIM Calcutta (associated with IIM Calcutta since 1994). TSACAS works primarily in the strategic and leadership capability building space – and the cross-functional skills that go with it – against the backdrop of an AI-enabled and SMAC [Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud] world. The target audiences of all programs – academic and professionals – are corporate sector companies, working executives and entrepreneurs.

  • Success through Strategy:
    • Assist individuals and organizations to achieve SUCCESS, in whatever field they are operating in [or intends to operate], using the power of strategy, undergoing learning and transformation and ensuring laser precision execution.
  • Learning that Transforms:
    • Turnkey design and delivery of participant-centred and scalable Learning and Transformation programs for enhancing participants’ skills and also transformation of their traits, attitudes, and motives, using the Academy designed 21st century learning process and assessment system, called SLTS | Smart Learning and Transformation Solution, that has 3 times more rigour and intensity, 2 times more convenience to attend faculty conducted session and only 1/3rd the cost of doing the same through the traditional 20th century learning process.
  • An Alternative Learning Solution:
    • A convergence of two existing learning solutions viz. traditional brick and mortar and a decade old e-learning/ Massive Online Open Courses [MOOCs], the NEW alternative, called Smart Learning & Transformation Solution [SLTS], comprises all the benefits of both the just mentioned solutions but eliminates drawbacks of both. The new alternative includes an Integrated Dual Learning Process, takes into account the emerging lifestyles of learners and leverages the progresses made in Digital technology.
  • Integrated Dual Learning Process:
    • The alternative learning solution – SLTS – comprises Foundational Learning sessions conducted by faculty in person as well as guided and monitored Self-paced Individualized and Group Learning Process. The latter, complementing the sessions conducted by faculty in person, consists of self paced learning, desk/ field research, Action Learning Project [ALP], and inter-participant networking and learning, all facilitating assimilation and absorption of inputs provided, transformation of traits, attitudes and mindset of learners and application of new learning.
  • Case Method and Action Learning Projects [ALPs]:
    • The alternative learning solution – SLTS – helps in demystification of knowledge, acquisition of specific skills and their real life applications through thrust on problem solving, use of case method of teaching, doing group work and undertaking action learning projects.
  • Experiential, Transformational and Green:
    • The alternative learning solution – SLTS – is not only green but also provides opportunity to experience working under the 21st Century Digital and SMAC world [Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud] and transform one’s habits, traits, attitudes and motives to remain relevant and forge ahead in career.

SUCCESS = Transformation X Strategy X Action

Transformation

  • It stands for TSA’s belief that without TRANSFORMATION of Cognitive Skills and Mindset [comprising beliefs, attitudes, and values], individuals and their organizations will be failing to come up with contextually right strategies and action plans required for achieving SUCCESS.

The Staircase

  • It stands for TSA’s commitment to facilitate steady progression towards specific goals set by an individual and his/her organization, resulting in achieving the SUCCESS they truly desire.

The Five “I”s

  • Idea · Innovation · Integrity · Initiatives · Impact [above a threshold level]. These are essential for achieving SUCCESS.
