Programme Overview
Now entering its landmark 25th batch, the Creating High-Performance Organisations programme continues its legacy of helping leaders build organisations that achieve sustained excellence and create long-term value for all stakeholders.
Organisational excellence is a concept that goes beyond financial performance. Even when financial performance is included in assessing the success of organisations, the focus is on sustained, long-term performance rather than short-term gains. High-performance organisations pursue and achieve excellence from the perspective of all stakeholders, including employees, communities, and society at large.
Building on the experience and insights gained from numerous successful batches, the programme is designed to make participants aware of the need and possibilities of creating high-performance organisations that meet the aspirations of all stakeholders, and not just shareholders or owners. After establishing a framework for addressing these diverse needs and aspirations, the programme focuses on the strategies required to achieve excellence from the perspective of employees and society.
Programme Objectives
The purpose of the programme is to introduce participants to the latest concepts of organisational excellence and issues related to creating organisations that consistently achieve high performance. It emphasizes the need to transcend financial measures of performance and suggests more holistic performance frameworks such as balanced scorecard and managing for stakeholders, it will introduce Gandhian concepts of trusteeship that emphasize inclusive performance.
The programme incorporates cutting edge concepts for leadership development that include creating high-performance teams by learning to manage self and others. It then suggests the best practices that should be adopted by any organisation that is truly aspiring to become a high-performance organisation. Participants are informed of the strategies and practices of exemplar organisations, from India and beyond, that are amenable for wider adoption to make the organisation an employer of choice, admired within its community, and acknowledged by the larger society as a great corporate citizen.
Programme Contents
The topics include organisational effectiveness, structures and processes for excellence, organisational culture for excellence, corporate social responsibility, and corporate citizenship behaviour, coaching for excellence, building and leading high-performance teams, and decision making to support high performance. Participants will be encouraged to view themselves as leaders trying to reconcile and balance diverse demands of their organisation even as they embark on a long journey to excellence.
Recognising that organisational excellence extends beyond systems and processes, the programme examines how leadership and organisational culture shape strategic execution, adaptability, innovation, and sustainable high performance in a rapidly evolving business environment.
Programme Pedagogy
The programme will be conducted using a combination of lectures, case analyses, exercises, and video-based discussions. The participants are expected to prepare for the class sessions and participate in the discussions to facilitate the learning process.
Who Should Attend
The programme is targeted at senior and middle management who perform or are expected to perform a general management role, rather than functional roles. Persons who have experienced the tensions of dealing with multiple demands are most likely to benefit from the programme.

“The CHPO programme at IIM Bangalore is not just a course, it is a mindset shift. Coming in as a Senior Manager overseeing CX operations, I expected frameworks and models. What I didn’t expect was the depth of reflection and peer learning that the programme facilitated. The professors brought a rare combination of academic rigour and real-world relevance that made every session immediately applicable.
The modules on organisational design, leadership effectiveness, and building high-performance cultures gave me the language and the tools to lead differently. I returned to my organisation with a clearer lens on what drives team performance, not just metrics, but motivation, structure, and trust. Within months of completing the programme, I transitioned into the role of General Manager – Customer Experience, taking on expanded responsibilities across Operations, Support, Customer Success, KYC and Live Class Moderation.
I attribute a significant part of that readiness to what IIM Bangalore gave me – the confidence to think like a leader, not just a manager. The CHPO programme is an investment I would recommend to every mid-to-senior professional who is serious about scaling their impact.”
The programme was exceptionally well managed. I had gained / learned lot of insights and aspects covering organisational behavior and performance management. This programme has given me new impetus in setting prudent goals and guiding myself and my teams is the process of expectation setting and management; especially Customer Service and Stakeholder Management.I also hope to have more such level of training and interactions at different management levels; so as to enable us to gain insights into new thinking and processes across industries.
The session was made very engaging by the two Trainers who shared their personal experience and knowledge to correlate the concept apart from the standard training material. For me, from the Organisation perspective the training brought to light the tools a Leader needs to equip himself in forming an ideal team to ensure Organisations’ success and from personal perspective gained significant insights on Self Awareness and Critical thinking to succeed
