Mr. Khanna insisted on employing role playing and sensitivity training as techniques for the executive development program at Punjab Bank Ltd. Role playing allows participants to act out real-life situations and receive feedback to improve their skills, while sensitivity training makes people more aware of their own biases and more sensitive to others. Both techniques provide hands-on experience and allow assessment of decision-making abilities and weaknesses. Mr. Khanna formed this opinion because role playing and sensitivity training are proven methods for improving employee performance and communication within an organization. These techniques seem suitable for Punjab Bank's program given the organization's issues with delayed decision making and lack of communication between departments.

1. Do you find any justification in the argument of Mr. Khanna?
The main reason why Mr Khanna insisted on employing role playing as a
training tactic because Role playing is an active learning technique in which employees act out situations under the guidance of a trainer. In each scenario, employees take on a role and act out the scene as though it were real.
Advantages of role playing:
1. Its Social and Communal Role playing is a social activity. Players
interact within the scenarios they’re given, which encourages individuals to come together to find solutions and to get to know how their colleagues think. Because role play training sessions have this communal atmosphere, it’s not only the trainer who can give feedback. Employees can study how their colleagues perform and provide tips or take notes.
2. Prepares for Real Life
In some cases, role playing can prepare groups for scenarios that occur in real life. Not only does this exercise offer staff a glimpse of the situations they may encounter, but participants also receive feedback on how they’ve performed.
3. Indicates Current Skill Level
When an individual participates in a role-playing scenario, she is demonstrating the way that she would actually handle a similar situation in real life. Trainers can work with individuals on their particular weaknesses.
4. Role playing can be used as a behavioural pre-training assessment or
diagnostic to assess where a learner is in terms of skills, since the trainer can observe real behaviour.
5. Role playing also allows assessment of how well learner understands
and can apply what is learned, as indicated in their behaviour. Sensitivity training on the other hand is a form of training with the goal of making people more aware of their own goals as well as their prejudices, and more sensitive to others and to the dynamics of group interaction. It is called laboratory training as it is conducted by creating an experimental laboratory situation in which employees are brought together, in groups, to interact in an unstructured environment. The members are encouraged to interact with new members and new individual behaviours. Because of these advantages if implemented, roleplaying and sensitivity training can be used as an effective tool in training the employees better, which in turn can greatly improve the performance of the organization in general 2. Why did Mr. Khanna form such an opinion? The main reason for Mr Khanna to form this opinion is because of the advantages of sensitivity analysis and roleplaying, both are proven method in training the employees in better decision making an improving their overall performance. These two methods give them a direct approach in finding their strengths and weakness and also a first person view about how to tackle various issues that may arise in the organisation an how to solve them. 3. What do you feel about the suitability of technique for the executive development programme, in this case? The findings of all the commissions show that the main issue with the organization is the delay in the decision making. This shows the lack of proper communication between the various department and hierarchy of the organization. With the implementation of role playing and sensitivity analysis, these issues can be greatly improved. Because role plays can be involving, both in emotional and cognitive ways, they can also be used to help people understand others, and the positions of others. Sensitivity training develops the communication skills of the employers and develops them as good listeners. It also helps the participants to form into informal groups and teams and work more effectively. In short we can conclude these are the best suitable technique for the executive development programme for the Punjab Bank ltd.
