Experience,
the best teacher
This oft-repeated quote of Confucius is perhaps the best analogy
of experiential learning, which has become an indispensable
part of the training calendars in many IT and ITeS organisations.
Most HR experts acknowledge the effectiveness of these interactive,
engaging, and focused training sessions outside the typical
environs of a classroom.
Rapidly
expanding horizons
The information technology horizon is expanding rapidly. New
techniques, associated skills, tools and products are adding
to the richness and complexity of IT. This accelerated rate
of change is making the fabric of IT, to say the least, very
interesting. This facet of IT is also a cause of strain for
the IT professionals. They find themselves ‘stretched’
for time and for newer skills.
Competency
based HR
For an organisation which takes great pride in its rich HR
culture, it is not surprising that many of L&T Infotech’s
centres in India have achieved the coveted PCMM level 5 certification.
Incide-ntally, L&T Infotech is among the 10 companies
in the world which have earned this batch of recognition.
Winning
on the corporate battlefield
Parmindar S Miglani was a Brigadier in the Indian Army who
took part in two wars (between India and Pakistan), in 1965
and 1971. In the corporate world, however, he has won many
more battles. The company has witnessed four mergers in the
last seven years, with Miglani at the helm of affairs to successfully
see it through each transition.
Connecting
with people beyond words
How do you engage an audience? By appealing to its intelligence.
All of us have more than one type of intelligence. According
to psychologist Howard Gardner, we have at least seven—covering
the mind, body and spirit. All too often presentations appeal
only to the intellect, ignoring our physical, emotional and
spiritual sides.
