#DSSC Wellington hosted a 2-day CDM Capsule covering Organisational Behavior, Strategic Management, Data Analytics and #OperationalResearch & Systems Analysis. The capsule included insightful sessions bridging management sciences and #MilitaryLeadership for future commanders. Real world insights into Organisational behaviors & Data Analytics were shared, empowering the students to navigate complex challenges. @DefenceMinIndia @SethSanjayMP @SpokespersonMoD @MIB_India @Def_PRO_Chennai

Insightful talk by Maj Gen Sanjeev Dogra (Retd) Analysing Contemporary Conflicts  through the lens of #GameTheory to participants of #HDMC-21 at #CDM_IDS. A true masterclass in blending data, #OperationalResearch models & strategy to draw lessons for future operations through case study of recent conflicts. The speaker analysed options available to both adversaries , bringing out the cost and value of the chosen courses of action. He dwelt on the dynamics of decision-making using tools such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma, Chicken Game and others, finally discussing potential end state options through the Grimm Trigger framework. An exceptionally educative session – the key takeaway being that military logics can indeed be quantified to enable commanders to arrive at more informed, structured and effective decisions. #ProfessionalMilitaryEducations #FutureWarfare @DefenceMinIndia @SethSanjayMP @MIB_India @SpokespersonMoD
