Developing HRD Professionals and enhancing HRD professionalism

CEO Conlaves : Purpose

A new initiative of the Academy is CEO Forum, designed to bring together CEOs, HRD heads, and academics for conversations on how Indian industry can meet global challenges through HRD. The idea is to initiate a series of brainstorms at the sectoral level (e.g. financial sector, SMEs, IT and related services), culminating into national and international conferences that are backed by case studies and academic research, and resulting in publications of findings and best practices.
