MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE GURGAON
Background
Proactively responding to the chaotic business environment has become an absolute necessity for companies in the post-liberalization era. The new world offers challenges as well opportunities. People-centric management is being seen at the heart of business strategy by Indian as well as global companies so as to efficaciously confront the new challenges. The new thinking underscores "people first and strategy second." There is a constant focus on improving the deliverables of line as well as human resource (HR) managers. The present scenario necessitates finding ways to integrate people management strategy with business strategy with a view to building and enhancing organizational capabilities. Thus, attempts are being made towards knitting customers' expectations to employees' mindsets, attitudes and behaviours, leading to organizational performance excellence. Propulsion towards these goals necessitates that corporate policy makers rearrange people-management architecture. The 'Change Dances' involved in these configurations often involve unlearning the old ways of managing people and discovering and building on strategic people-management themes to facilitate attainment of the desired change. This management development program aims to sensitize line as well as HR professionals in discovering the latest global developments in people-management strategies and understanding the adoption of such policies for value creation and competitive advantage.
