Centre for Creativity, Innovation and Design Thinking (CCIDT)
Creativity, Innovation and Imagination are a critical skills needed by the manager of tomorrow. We have to "imagine" the future- products, services, and the universe we as a race will need. Design Thinking has fast become a powerful tool to approach new ideas in a disciplined manner. It uses a human centered approach to find sustainable solutions to existing problems. The Centre works at multiple levels to provide students with ample opportunities to "practice" these skills with the use of workshops, contests and opportunities to help students “see” solutions when none seem to exist and harnesses metaphors to see new product/service designs possibilities.
- Develops students' multiple skills, based on Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences
- Provides rich opportunities to train and expand the intelligence for better insights into problem-solving.
- Is headed by a Centre Chairperson & 12 member student team to ensure that consistent discipline and proof of learning is maintained throughout.
- Carries out activities like theatre, dance, short film making, photography, art and music, open mic, and stand-up comedy.
Centre for Public Policy and Governance (CPP)
Centre for Public Policy and Governance (CPPG) is one of the new initiatives at GIM. The CPPG is primarily motivated towards exploring the links between the field of management and public policy.
The Centre has the objective of generating and leading intellectual capital, and experience to inform public policy formulation and governance in India and emerging economies. The Centre aims to generate awareness among the student community by providing a platform to discuss and analyze public policies. It will serve as a platform for academics from all over the country and beyond, policymakers, and others interested in public policy and governance to interact, and dialogue. Its philosophy is predicated on the belief that effective public policy is always deeply contextualized. Having functional organizations, and managerial and design capability within government and parastatals as much as the content of public policy is important for success.
The Centre also contributes to regional development by actively participating in various policy initiatives undertaken by the government and various non-governmental actors.
