BizEx Consulting to launch three seminars

Specialising in Japanese management, productivity, and corporate governance, BizEx Consulting Ltd. is re-launching its public seminars. Being a boutique consultancy outfit, it focused more on in-house training and consultancy for the past three years.

The first seminar is ‘Designing Financial Incentive Schemes’, and will be led by Sunil G. Wijesinha, who has experience in designing incentive schemes since 1977. “A well-formulated scheme will greatly help improve productivity in factories and efficiency in offices,” claims BizEx, while a badly formulated scheme will be disastrous and even lead to industrial unrest. Sunil Wijesinha has implemented incentive schemes in many places he worked in, including the ETF Board, Institute of Co-operative Management, Merchant Bank of Sri Lanka and Dankotuwa Porcelain. In addition, he has provided consultancy for many others.

The second seminar will be on the Japanese technique of ‘quality circles’, which motivates and realises the aspirations of the qualified front-line workforce. Quality circles are becoming increasingly popular in Sri Lanka with the recent Annual Convention having presentations by over a hundred circles from workers in companies in various fields and various vocations. Once again, amateurish attempts will work negatively, while a well-formulated implementation scheme can create a massive positive wave of worker engagement and motivation. Sunil Wijesinha is considered the pioneer of quality circles in Sri Lanka, having first experienced it in Japan in 1980 and having conducted the first seminars for JASTECA in 1984.

There will also be a two-day course on the advanced version of the Japanese technique of ‘5S’. The course will develop participants to be internal consultants to implement 5S or further refine it if they have already implemented it. The course will draw on the experience of many successful and many failed attempts of 5S implementation. Sunil Wijesinha, who conducted the first public 5S seminar in 1994 in Sri Lanka, will be the resource person. 

Sunil has travelled in many parts of South and South East Asia, conducting seminars on Japanese management techniques, and has been invited as a resource person, keynote speaker, and a quality circles judge in Asian countries and Mauritius. He has been awarded the Asia Pacific Award by the Asian Productivity Organisation headquartered in Tokyo for his productivity promotion efforts in Asia and the Pacific.
