The two day academic and motivational workshop consisted of a group activity which took place on the first day where groups were made with regard to the session “SWOT and Competitive analysis”. Participants had a brainstorming session and listed down their Business Schools Strengths, Weaknesses, and Opportunities & Threats and carried out a brief competitive analysis.

Other significant sessions of the workshop were based on “Planning for People, Processes, Priorities and Progress”. Dr. Zahoor and Dr. Shaukat provided the participants with thought provoking examples and enhanced their knowledge regarding the importance of the planning process.
