The CIMA Business Leaders’ Summit themed ‘Future Defined’ and scheduled for 16 and 17 June, will bring Human Resources (HR) expert, Accenture Managing Director – Human Resources Manoj Biswas, to deliberate on how companies can sustain agility. His presentation titled ‘Fragility to Agility’ will rationalise how big companies maintain their performance edge even in the face of significant business changes in their competitive environment.
Understanding a company’s ecosystem of business and economy is considered as the key to defining how the various levers of change are causing fragility. The fundamental step in navigating your company to agility is being watchful of these factors. Manoj will discuss this in depth, review VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) times and how organisations are reorganising to create success, as well as how some have lost out in their inability to adapt.
A recent McKinsey survey discloses the benefits of enhanced agility: higher revenues, more satisfied customers and employees, improved operational efficiency and a faster time to market. This year’s summit will give participants an opportunity to understand these dynamics of change and the drivers of agility in their respective businesses.
Manoj will also analyse the generational rift in the current workforce and ways to bridge this gap by fostering agility. He will discuss innovation and technology, highlighting the impact of these factors in the future of business as well as its workforce. At Accenture, Manoj manages the entire gamut of HR functions supporting more than 130,000 employees.
