Realism
about B-schools
It is a pity
that Indian b-school movement with more than 1700 schools and over
120,000 seats and an investment of over Rs 100 billion should be
languishing for want of effective direction and Leadership!
Urgent reforms in Higher Education is the need of the hour making
it independent and being able to raise funds from legitimate sources
available to industry, streamline the admission procedure nationally,
improve the quality of learning through better qualified faculty,
more meaningful pedagogy and involving the stake holders in strengthening
the education through more meaningful campus industry interface.
Above everything else we need to benchmark with the best of the
peer through voluntary accreditation process, whether Indian or
International. Express yourself freely, let us chat and let us evolve
an approach paper jointly to build CAPACITY WITH QUALITY.

HR
Notes!
India is on a fast clip and more than half million jobs
are to be filled! "Indian corporate are desperate for talent"
say the National HRD Network (NHRDN) leadership. We need to urgently
to create capacities in engineering and management institutes,
train faculty in the campuses as well as those from industry who
want to take up teaching! Tell
me what should be done! Address your concerns relating to
manpower needs, role of associations like NHRDN,
AIMS, AIMA,
NIPM, CII,
FICCI, ASSOCHAM
and EPSI.
The HR community has been working closely together
to evolve a consensus on the strategy to handle the looming manpower
crisis and ideas like forming a Star Alliance with all the HR
associations is in the offing to share expertise and strength
for the common good.
You can contact the respective institutions through their home
page links or write to me.

Knowledge
Management We
are living in the knowledge century and as such managing knowledge
has become important. And
yet, KM is still an esoteric subject
seen as a domain in IT with little understanding almost in any walk
of life people have been managing knowledge and the subject is relevant
to any modern day professional in his/her career.
Being an award winning author of
a KM book I have been tracking the subject closely and publishing
whatever one finds interesting happening in the world of management.
I will attempt to provide as many links and information sources
as possible from this website and also from my other blogs of KM.
After all knowledge is free and it should be shared.
I also request the KM professionals
and CKOs to liberally contribute their knowledge, cases and other
intellectual inputs to make the pursuit of knowledge throu
gh these columns a learning experience.
