Learning & Teaching

I am an expert in using Business Game Simulations (BGS) to drive learning and engagement. This approach is used by the top business schools worldwide and big corporates to gain competitve advantage through competency building. Universities are challenged in today’s competitive market to offer valuable experiences. I have delivered innovation in teaching practice using business game simulations - informed by experiential learning pedagogy. This approach is suitable for both large and small group settings and is agile in nature. This resulted in the sustained growth of our business programmes over the years with very high satisfaction from the students and enabling them to confidently take on leadership roles in the industry or venture to develop their businesses.

Some key activities     

»  Northumbria Business School: Taught strategic management for the competitive advantage module (level 7), enabling participants to develop business plan in a competitive environment. The learners acquire, interpret and apply knowledge for an international business, increasingly demonstrate command to manage organisational functions using a case study approach and business game simulations. Applied experiential learning model for the delivery of the module yielding, consistently, top 10 percentile success rate and positive feedback from the students.

»   Northumbria Business School: Taught global management competencies – business intelligence module (level 7), enhanced participants' capabilities, employing core project management and business analysis competencies using PMP and other established frameworks. The business intelligence capabilities were developed using specialised data analytics applications such as SAS Enterprise Guide software, yielding a 95% success rate and top 10 percentile student satisfaction rates. Projects involved working on business Intelligence capability development cases for the companies like Samsung, Netflix, Subway and Microsoft.

»     Northumbria Business School: Taught research methods module (level 7), enabling learners to develop high levels of analytical and critical awareness, ability to synthesise for the concerned domain and relating theory to practice using industrial-strength tools. The practice used established and emerging data collection techniques for accurate analysis and outcomes to support decisions and test hypotheses/assumptions.
