Tenth CPM International Management Conference to be held on March 16

The theme of the 10th CPM International Management Conference will focus on ‘Rebooting Management: Reimagine and Redesign’ to alert members and Corporate Bodies to the need for the latest cutting -edge, advanced revolutionary thinking in management.

People and companies are subject to continuous change.

Unless managers undergo change and harness it for reshaping corporate especially in challenging times with improved productivity, they will be fighting a losing battle.

This year’s conference will be held on 16th March at Galadari Hotel, Colombo.

The Chief Guest at the conference will be Karu Jayasuriya, Patron of CPM Sri Lanka and Former Speaker of Parliament of Sri Lanka who was the recipient of Sri Lanka’s highest National Award of SriLankaabhimana awarded by the President of Sri Lanka on behalf of the government. It is bestowed upon those who have rendered exceptionally outstanding and most distinguished service to the nation.

The Keynote Speaker will be Prof. Neharika Vohra - Specialist in Behavioural Science and currently Professor in Organizational Behaviour at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, India. Prof. Neharika Vohra will present her keynote address on ‘Courageous Organizations: The Role of the Leader and the Team in Creating Psychological Safety’. Organizations are compelled to get ready for continuous change. This requires shifting focus away from rigid operational systems, processes, and practices that were built for long periods of relative stability. Leaders and managers have an implicit responsibility to radically change their management style in line with changing demands. It is not the case in every institution.

To make a lasting change we must properly prepare before rebooting our management style. Do you ever wish management practice had a reboot button like a computer where you can shut it down and restart it if something goes wrong? Rebooting our practice, similarly, does not mean closing the door on our practice or selling it and moving to a new domain just to get a change. 

This thought may have crossed our minds from time to time, and some practitioners have gone ahead and done just that. Instead of a complete “restart” reboot, maybe what you are looking for is a “revive or give fresh impetus” type of reboot.

Eminent speakers and panelists will cover the technical sessions as per the following main topics;
Reboot and Reimagine Government and Public Sector, Business, and Strategy
Reboot and Redesign the SMEs, Entrepreneurship, and Corporate Thinking
A special feature of the conference will be five case study presentations chosen from among the outstanding companies that showed Best Management Practices during 2022 while recognizing their leadership, policies and strategies, people management, partnerships & resources, processes, and performances.
