When did you last Sharpen your Faculty's Mental Axe?

The "6 Inches" between the ears as we call the "Brain Cells", is the place where all the productivity happens from - in any Faculty. Yet it is the most disregarded area and often given the least of importance. Without continuous training and retraining of the "Productivity Factory", Faculties are bound to feel like a person standing still on a running "Treadmill". They let events take control of them rather than making events happen.

As the "Head" running the "Institution", who is helplessly watching from the side lanes, seeing the best of your Faculties not performing consistently to their potential, you are bound to have the feeling that many "Institutional Heads" have - Helplessness!

The Govt. of India, in its recent communication to NITs, Technical Institutions and leading Colleges across India, has highlighted the following:

* All Colleges, Polytechnics & Educational Institutions must strive for Excellence
* To be highly quality conscious
* To be responsive to rapid and economical change
* Have Inter-departmental accountability & be able to resolve conflicts
* Be pro-active in empowering faculties with "Soft Skills" & "Life Skills"
* To create empowered Academic Professionals
* To keep pace of current changes & be abreast of "Students' Needs"
* Be able to turn the Institutes to "Industry Friendly" places


Sometime back, TEQIP, part of NPIU (a central Govt. agency) and supported by the World Bank, went about the task of identifying vendors who could be entrusted with the job of completing the above objectives.

See Change Consulting (SCC), a "Human Possibilities Consulting Company", based out of Chennai, India, had submitted its 3 Tiered 5 Day Faculty Development Program (FDP in short). The 3 Tier approach was set to cover the following levels in any institution, in the "Human Transformation" process:

1) Dean, HODs & Professors (2 Days Program Titled "Beyond Leadership")
2) Asst. Professors & Lecturers (2 Days Program Titled "Getting Things Done")
3) Non-Teaching Staff (1 Day Program Titled "You Vs. You - The Art of Moving Forward")

After a series of presentations to higher level committees, SCC was picked as the "Preferred Enabling Partner" for deploying the above programs across India. Just look at a few of the Colleges / Institutions where we have completed the FDP module:

1) Sardar Vallabhai National Institute of Technology, Surat
2) Govt. College of Technology, Coimbatore
3) Career Institute of Technology and Management, Faridabad
4) A. C. College of Technology, Anna University, Chennai
5) Tamilnadu Polytechnic College, Madurai
6) Alagappa Chettiar Engineering & Technology, Karaikudi
7) Govt. College of Engineering, Tirunelveli

The Acceptance & Success of the FDP module has been so enormous that there is a huge demand from across Institutions in India to bring it as an annual event for their Faculties.

The participating Colleges & Institutions have realised that "Powerful & Effective People are an Institute's most important resources". Highly productive, effective, energetic, focused, action-oriented, goal-centric faculties with a strong sense of purpose and mission are an institution's greatest asset. They not only inspire the faculties themselves and other faculties, they become "Inspiring Role-Models" for students to emulate.

Give Power your Faculties! Make them Super Effective!
