Enterprise Summit on Developing People for Growth and Innovation

Friday 5 March 2010 - Galadari Hotel, Colombo

FORUM CHALLENGE
Innovation is the most critical success factor for businesses today. Those who dare to ride the ever-changing white-waters of the global business environment will live to see a brighter future. But how can companies innovate if their people are not innovative or better put ‘entrepreneurial’? How can business organisations in Sri Lanka develop intrapreneurial workers who will shape their companies’ future? How can industry and academia work together to incubate next generation entrepreneurs? What lessons can be learnt from the UK? These are the questions we seek answers for.
