Transforming the Managerial Line at Evonik Through a Mini MBA Training Journey

The execution of the tailored training program for Evonik Indonesia, developed by PFI Training & Development, was planned to align with the company's strategic objectives and address the specific needs of its management team. The "Mini MBA" styled training was divided into two intensive sessions, focusing on the fundamental principles of management and strategic management, and was designed to offer a comprehensive learning experience that bridged theoretical knowledge with practical application.

First Meeting: Introduction to Management
This session, led by Jimmy Gani, founder and chairman of PFI, was structured around the foundational concepts of management. The content was carefully curated to blend management theories with practical insights, ensuring participants could relate the learning to their work environment. Engaging exercises and discussions were incorporated to stimulate critical thinking and to foster a conceptual understanding of effective management practices.

Second Meeting: Strategic Management
Building on the initial session, the second meeting delved deeper into the intricacies of strategic management. Again facilitated by Jimmy Gani, this part of the program was designed to prepare participants to confront and navigate strategic challenges, enhancing their decision-making skills within their specific work scopes. The session employed case studies, practical assignments, and scenario discussions to reinforce the application of strategic concepts in real-world settings.

The training was conducted using PFI's proven learning approach, characterized by its interactive nature. Participants engaged in a variety of activities, including case studies, simulations, group discussions, and quizzes, all aimed at ensuring the assimilation of new knowledge and its application in daily work routines. This approach facilitated the exchange of knowledge and ideas among participants as well as reinforcing the importance of strategic decision-making in managerial roles.

Continuous feedback was sought from the participants throughout the execution of the training to tailor the sessions more closely to their needs and to ensure the program's objectives were being met. This feedback mechanism allowed for the adjustment of the training content, making the learning experience as relevant and impactful as possible for Evonik Indonesia's management team.

By carefully executing this program, PFI Training & Development succeeded in providing a highly engaging and educational experience, directly contributing to the enhancement of managerial competencies within Evonik Indonesia.
