Bengaluru, Oct, 2018: Indus Business Academy (IBA), Bengaluru in association with Higher Education Forum (HEF) is organizing a Round Table conference on the theme “Management and Leadership in Disruptive Times” on December 7, 2018 at the IBA Bengaluru campus.
Conference Theme Background
Current times are disruptive in terms both theories & paradigms as well as practical applications. Supersonic speed of technology is adding to the velocity of the process of disruption. What was relevant yesterday is definitely not applicable today; but no one knows what will be relevant tomorrow. Building the narrative for future is extremely difficult. In this context of volatile and unpredictable environment, the higher educational Institutions (HEIs) are facing tremendous challenges. Since the skills and competencies of tomorrow are totally unpredictable, educational institutions are fast losing their relevance in terms of being contemporary and relevant. No doubt, the educational institutions are expected to create men and women with character; but they are also equally vested with the responsibility of creating men and women who can shoulder responsibilities of this unpredictable world in whatever positions they are in.
This is the background the current theme of the 2nd Bengaluru conference is titled as “Management and Leadership in Disruptive Times”. The conference will look into specifically the role of the higher educational institutions to create the leaders and managers who would be able to shoulder responsibilities in these disruptive times. It will also discuss various strategies and processes the HEIs should adopt to remain relevant in this fast changing world.
