CA Sri Lanka launches INSEAD’s flagship Global Strategic Management Program

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) in its continuing endeavour to keep the country’s corporate leaders and ambitious professionals abreast of evolving global changes, has once again partnered with one of the world’s leading graduate business schools to bring to Sri Lanka the renowned Global Strategic Management Program.

The four-day management program by INSEAD from 10 to 13 July at the Waters Edge, Battaramulla targeting general managers, senior managers and members of project teams will cover a thorough thought provoking outline of topics on how Sri Lankan business leaders can take advantage of emerging opportunities, and how to expand business operations while responding positively to challenging economic times.

The program is designed to benefit three key groups: managers who are new to implementing strategy, or are moving into a more challenging implementation role or simply looking for new ideas to try where others have failed.

It will be a platform where participants will gain new insights about the hidden barriers to strategic execution and how to overcome them. At the end of the program, participants will leave with an action plan of execution – and permanent understanding of how to get results from future strategic initiatives.

The four day program will be conducted by Prof. Jasjit Singh, an associate Professor of Strategy who specialises in teaching on competitive strategy, strategic innovation and global strategy in INSEAD’s MBA, EMBA, Executive and PhD programs.

Prof. Singh’ research interests include strategic management, innovation, knowledge management and diffusion, social networks, economic geography, international business and emerging market strategy.

His research, which has won several awards, has appeared in leading academic journals like Management Science, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Law, Economics and Organisation, Industry and Innovation, and Research Policy.

Prof. Singh earned his Ph.D. in Business Economics at Harvard Business School. He also holds M.A. in Economics from Harvard University, M.S. in both Management and Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, and B. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

This will be CA Sri Lanka’s second tie up with INSEAD. In June last year, the Institute introduced INSEAD’s Global Leadership Program which received an overwhelming response and subsequently led two more sold out programs in Colombo in September last year and in March this year.

INSEAD is a pioneer of international business education based in Europe. With campuses in France, Asia and Abu Dhabi, and a research centre in Israel, INSEAD’s business education and research spans three continents.

Its 145 renowned Faculty members from 36 countries inspire more than 1,000 participants in MBA, Executive MBA and PhD programs, and also executives exceeding 9,500 who participate in INSEAD’s executive education programs.

As one of the country’s largest professional organisations with a membership of 4200 chartered accountants, CA Sri Lanka has always been in the forefront striving to provide the country’s business community the best of services and world class opportunities and its tie up with INSEAD is one such initiative.
