Next, wehave a very activeGoverning Council, the members of which are alsoin the AdvisoryBoard, which manages the quality of offering andensures that ourcommitment to all stakeholders is met. Lastly, wehave an AdvisoryCouncil for each specialization which ensures thatthe curriculumis current and relevant to industry requirements.Such a robuststructure ensures at all times that we areindustry-focused and wesupply “industry-ready professionals”.Industry speakers Almostonce every month, and sometimes even morefrequently, we call verysenior practitioners from the Industry tointeract with ourstudents. During these sessions, the seniorexecutives (mainly CXOsand very senior management professionals)share their experiencesand engage in discussion with our studentson a range of topics –from strategy to corporate governance. Suchan interaction ensuresthat our students get a pulse of industry andorient their thinkingand learning to be “industry-ready”. Visitingfaculty CBS has asone of its mottos, “Where professionals areprofessors”. A largepercentage of the specialization courses istaught by practisingmanagement professionals. One would definitelybe enlightenedlearning advertising from the Managing Director andDirector ofcompanies such as Ogilvy and JWT, rather thanacademicians who havestudied and maybe consulted on advertising.That is our belief andwe have consistently been improving ourfaculty base to includepeople from large Corporate houses.
