National Management Conference (NMC) 2009

The 12^th National Management Conference organized by the IMSL, will be held on the 19 May, 2009, on the theme “Global Citizenship and Management: Capacity Development in Challenging Times” at the Galle Face Hotel, Colombo. 

One of the key objectives of the NMC 2009 is to facilitate informed discussion and consultation on the key theme of “making a global citizen”. The panel of experts drawn from the academia and the private sector will share their views on three core areas related to the central theme, on a) Innovative approaches to enhancing skills and capabilities for future employment, b) Business as a catalyst for social integration – life beyond profits, and, c) The need for a new global ethical order to make the best of human ingenuity. 

The conference is designed to ensure that the participants, relate the main themes discussed at the conference to enhance their role and inputs to organization they work for, identify specific interventions in capacity development in organizations and follow up with a personal agenda for change, and address critical needs of socio-economic development as responsible and leading private sector organizations, to steer the country towards a more hopeful future.

Furthermore, the conference will serve as a forum for other stakeholders in civil society, academia and the private sector to debate contending views on this topical issue.

The overall result of the conference would see the adoption of a conference declaration which will be shared with the member and non-member organizations of the IMSL, with pledges to follow up.

Registration is now open, and those who are interested to participate are strongly advised to contact the IMSL secretariat for registration.
