In his welcome speech Mr. Anil Sachdev, Founder & CEO, SOIL, spoke about how the battle of Mahabharata presents the greatest example of strategy formulation & implementation. Mr. Sachdev reinforced the fact that key reason behind strategies not being successful is the lack of clarity among the leaders about the purpose & values of organization and their ignorance to the external environment. He said “Strategy doesn’t look at the short term goals but at the long term objectives, probably losing a few battles but winning the war”.
Dr. Ajay Bakshi, CEO & MD, Max Healthcare during his inaugural speech connected strategy to neuroscience and made the participants understand how decision making in organizations is similar to decision making in human bodies. Mr. Prithvi Shergil, Chief Human Resources Officer, HCL Technologies Ltd. in his valedictory session spoke about the strong connect between culture and strategy. He said “Today the ability to refresh, rejuvenate and review at a faster pace redefines strategy".
