IIM Shillong hosted the ‘1st CXO Round Table Meet’ in New Delhi, bringing together a panel of industry leaders, academics and stakeholders to engage in discussion.
To mark its 15th anniversary, IIM Shillong, the only IIM in the North East, began hosting a series of conclaves across the country that started in the national capital on October 15 with the aim to ‘Reconnect, Reflect and Reimagine’.
The CXO roundtable and stakeholder meet is meant to reconnect with valued industry partners who have placed their trust since the inception of IIM Shillong. Their encouragement and constructive feedback have been instrumental in refining the education curriculum, equipping future graduates to become invaluable contributors in the ever-evolving business landscape, a press release from the institute stated today.
This event was a time to reflect on the pivotal role management education has played in fueling the growth and fortification of the Indian business sector. Furthermore, the institute wanted to reimagine the future of business management by engaging in enlightening dialogues with distinguished educationists, industry partners and stakeholders. These discussions revolved around the profound shifts that technology, societal dynamics, and evolving aspirations are instigating in how businesses should be structured and managed.
Industry leaders, alumni and academics noted the emergence of the latest concepts in industries, like Artificial Intelligence, which they said should be integrated in the curriculum of the top management schools to prepare the students for future. IIM Shillong alumni actively participated in the panel discussion, contributing questions and sharing their experiences.
With the central theme of the discussion being on ‘Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)’ in the corporate world, the panel explored strategies and best practices for fostering diverse and inclusive workplaces, recognising the significance of these principles in today’s business landscape.
