It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the Chairman of the Panel of Judges for the Best Management Practices Company Awards 2025 (BMPC Awards) and the Technical Chairman of the CPM Management Insights Summit 2025 (MI Summit). These two prestigious events have become significant milestones in our collective efforts to promote excellence in management and foster a culture of innovation and good governance within Sri Lanka’s public and private sectors.
At the BMPC Awards 2025, I was deeply impressed by the caliber of entries and the relentless pursuit of excellence displayed by the participating organizations. Each of the award-winning companies has demonstrated outstanding management practices, from visionary leadership to the effective implementation of strategies that align with global best practices. The awards are a testament to the remarkable progress made by these organizations and the impact they have on not only their own operations but also the broader economic landscape of Sri Lanka.
As the Technical Chairman of the CPM MI Summit 2025, it has been incredibly rewarding to witness the exchange of ideas, insights, and strategies among industry leaders, policymakers, and academics. The Summit, themed “Management ‘X’ Factors for Sri Lanka: Maneuvering and Leading,” highlighted the pressing need for transformational leadership and effective management in driving Sri Lanka’s recovery and future growth. The discussions at the summit underscored that good governance, transparency, and accountability must remain at the core of every business practice as we strive to build a sustainable and resilient nation.
The challenges faced by Sri Lanka today are unprecedented, and the solutions lie in a collaborative approach that integrates the best management practices with a focus on ethical leadership and systemic reforms. As we continue to move forward, it is essential that we build a culture of responsibility, innovation, and continuous improvement in our institutions and organizations.
I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to all the award recipients and participants of the BMPC Awards 2025. Your commitment to excellence serves as an inspiration to all. I would also like to express my gratitude to all the speakers, panelists, and delegates at the CPM MI Summit 2025 for contributing to the meaningful dialogue that will shape the future of management practices in Sri Lanka.
I am confident that both the awards and the summit will leave a lasting impact on our business community, empowering organizations to make bold, informed decisions and lead Sri Lanka toward a more prosperous future.
