HR Continuum 2006 to be Held at Shailesh J Mehta School of Management, IIT-Bombay
Theme: "Aligning HR with the Changing Business Environment"
April 09, 2006

The Shailesh J Mehta School of Management at IIT-Bombay is holding their second event of the Continuum series - the HR Continuum - on the 9th April 2006.

CONTINUUM, the rolling seminar series, is a regular event at SJMSOM. This event aims to cover the latest trends in management by inviting eminent speakers from business and academia and drawing from their knowledge and experience.

The corporate climate today is a far cry from the business world of the yesteryears. Successful organizations are becoming more adaptable, resilient, quick-to-change and customer-oriented. The re-established HR business objectives now expect the HR manager to parallel the needs of the organization with the dynamic business environment.

Change has become an ongoing process. Yet, organizations undergoing change typically forget to address the "people side". HR Continuum 2006 tries to emphasize the importance of HR in managing this change and underlines the importance of getting HR "a seat at the table", thereby justifying the theme of the day "Aligning HR with the Changing Business Environment".

The other events of the day are a Poster Designing Competition, B-Pratyancha, a national level Sudoku Championship, and a Panel Discussion on "Opportunities Galore @ India Inc. - Is customization of HR practices the solution to plug Attrition?"

The first event of the 2006 series was the "Systems Continuum" on the themes "IT in Business Strategy: A Journey from 'Enabler' to 'Driver'" and "Cutting Edge Trends in Software Industry"; on the first and second days respectively. Valuable insights were drawn from eminent speakers including Mr. Amit Agarwal (MD, Amazon), Dr. G. N. Srinivas (Head, SOA, CC, Hewlett Packard), Mr. Himanshu Gupta (Principal Consultant, PwC), Mr. Rajdeep Sahrawat (VP, NASSCOM), Mr. Raj Nair (Chairman, Avalon Consulting), Mr. Suhas Datta (Senior Manager, Accenture), Mr. Vineet Kshirsagar (Industry Manager, Education, Microsoft), Mr. Sambha (Senior VP, Compulink), Mr. Venkat Ramani (Regional Director, TCS)

Concluded.
