Today we had the flagship event of the ISB, the Leadership Summit or the ILS. The event proved its prime importance, with various professional clubs at ISB participating in the 6 tracks that ran during the day. The who is who of industry was present ranging from the leaders in Retail and marketing, Logistics, Consultancy, IT, General Management, Real Estate, Energy and emerging markets. To make the audience have their choice of attendance, a total of six tracks were organized over three sessions through out the day.
The day began with the keynote address by the Chairman of BCG. That was followed by tracks whose topics ranged from Use of Technology in Education Sector, The Big Picture in Retail and Marketing, Talent as the Strategic Differentiator, Innovative and Affordable low cost housing, India’s Economic Growth: A Tale of Two economies, and Infrastructure Development: The Key to India’s Success. A key point in my opinion was the presence of a prominent communist political leader in one of the panels to bring in the diversity of the perspectives. I also got to meet two senior bureaucrats from the service: one accompanying his wife who happened to be a speaker on one of the panels and the other representing a development authority in the Real Estate track.
I enjoyed last few days assisting in the logistics, transport and protocol for the summit. So back to the good old ‘Protocol’ days making sure that the guest has the contact number of the liaison officer, the LO has the number of the vehicle, and the driver of the vehicle has the placard- so that the three ends meet at the same place.
Thanks God that every thing went well without a hitch.
