The Hexagon of Success
About the Program
The Program comprises 6 modules, on Leadership, Futurology, Decision Making, Creativity Innovation and Ethics. Each module is nominally of 10 hours duration and is designed to be a very effective introduction to the subject. The Program is design to be a Motivational, Inspirational and Transformational experience that 'opens the minds' of the participants.
The 10 hours in each module are structured into 3 components as follows:
- This is a one hour Preparatory and Induction Session, pursued in a self-learning mode. It consists of background material, inspiring quotes and some links to web 2.0 based resources including YouTube videos.
- This part is of nominally 6 hours duration mainly in a didactic format with some interactivity. This may be pursued as e-learning remotely or in classrooms, in groups or one on one.
- This is a 3 hour post course work/mini-project to apply the learning to one's context or areas of interest. The activities to be done would cover : posting on a wiki, writing a blog, creating a series of tweets, making and uploading a video on YouTube, PowerPoint slides on SlideShare, an essay on Scribd etc. Learners would be encouraged to experience a variety of means of expression, preferably a different for each project.
