A group of dedicated professionals who are committed to bring the Indian customer to the fore, through deftly designed interaction between military veterans and Corporate Leaders, came up with a brilliant theme for 2012. That is the title of my blog.
While it is the sole privilege of the organizers to publish the take- a ways from this interaction, I shall limit my Blog to the immense potential of tapping talent from the Military and the Corporates to reshape the contours of business ethics.
It is not unusual to see Sun-Tzu being quoted ad nauseam in Corporate seminars in the US in particular. The Americans have the ability to produce books for all types of readers. Indeed book writing and publishing could be a very rewarding experience for qualified writers. Most successful authors use assiduously researched material and through imaginative interpretation of facts and figures they capture the attention of the reader.
In India however, it is a frustrating experience to publish a book,even if you have 'something to say' as opposed to 'saying something'. This conference/work shop would have been an ideal setting for those who wished to write on this subject,i.e.how can the Military experience enrich the Board Room.
Evolving Strategy,sharing experience related to Human Resource Development and most of all, understanding that every Corporate has the potential to contribute towards enhancing National Security, were some take aways from this seminar..
A subject not entirely related to the main theme, but which is often ignored or neglected, is the safety and security of personnel,inventory and property of corporate bodies.Violence among the work force due to inequality/exploitation of the less privileged, natural disasters, terrorism coupled with man-made disasters are no longer the problem of the State alone. Contingency plans are required to be made, emergency drills rehearsed seriously and adequate resources sequestered to meet such contingencies. Despite serious losses caused to the economic centre of gravity through terrorist strikes,cyclones, tsunamis and cyber attacks,it would appear that the Private and Corporate sectors are unwilling to face the brutal facts of today even as they plunge headlong into profit-loss statements.
Time to smell the coffee.
