“If we look at the convention theme ‘Investing in People, building a Better Future’, it is very aptly chosen. In order to create a better future, we need to work at our best in the present. In order to sustain in any business, we need to ensure whether the products / services we are delivering really meet the requirements of the customer at a competitive price or not. Organizations do work constantly to deliver the best. However, as the competition is increasing, businesses are required to work at higher precision. Technological improvements and customer choice are dynamically shifting. In this scenario, the only way is to up-skill and empowers the people. For that, we need to invest in people to better equip them so that the challenges of the present business environment are met with more confidence. However, Total Employee Involvement is the key to build a better future for the organization”, Sri GVN prasad added.
