Entrepreneurs’ Organization SL gains insights from corporate leaders ‘In The Boardroom’

ITBR with Dumith Fernando

Led by a vision to build the world’s most influential community of entrepreneurs, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization or EO, which counts successful CEOs as members, has planned exciting sessions of ‘In The Boardroom’, an intimate gathering of members which features leading speakers who share their experience of leading their organisations. 

EO’s annual learning survey found that members preferred smaller events where participants could engage more closely with the speakers. Responding to the request and in compliance with post-lockdown health and safety guidelines, In The Boardroom will feature smaller gatherings of 18-20 participants at each session which will be ‘Forum Confidential’, which simply means that whatever is said in the room, stays in the room, which gives speakers a greater confidence and comfort to share their full breadth of experience. 

In The Boardroom offers an opportunity for EO members to get up close and personal with business icons of Sri Lanka, such as Hemas Group CEO Kasturi Chellaraja Wilson, Jetwing Hotels Chairman Shiromal Cooray, Lion Brewery CEO Suresh Shah, Asia Securities and Colombo Stock Exchange Chairman Dumith Fernando, and Aviva NDB Insurance Former MD Deepal Sooriyaarachchi. 

The speaker will give a speech about their journey in life and business to where they are today, including their biggest learnings. This will be followed by a moderated discussion and then a question and answer session. The format of In The Boardroom event is new to EO Sri Lanka’s learning calendar of transformative events although it is common in overseas EO chapters. 

Having the support and guidance of other successful entrepreneurs helps EO Sri Lanka’s members relook at their own strategies and goals to fulfil their true potential despite challenges. EO’s global community counts 14,000+ members across 62 countries. EO offers unique advantages to members such as gaining access to the world’s top experts and surmounting challenges through their encouragement and support. Since EO is a non-profit, all dues are channelled towards enhancing member experience.
