Seminar
on Business Intelligence for Competitive Advantage
|
The
“Competitive Intelligence” is defined as business intelligence focusing on the
external competitive environment. The term is often viewed as synonymous with
Competitor analysis but Competitive Intelligence is more than analyzing
competitors — it is about making the organization more competitive relative to
its existing set of competitors and potential competitors. Customers and key external stakeholders
define the set of competitors for the organization and, in so doing, describe
what could be a substitute for the business, votes, donations or other activities
of the organization. The term is often abbreviated as CI, and most large
businesses now have some Competitive Intelligence functions in their
organization.
This course is recommended for senior managers,
decision makers, head of departments, and executives who are seeking an
introduction to intelligence operations and are contributing significantly in
the long term and short term organizational business plans.

Spoken English Skills

Prolific command over written and spoken
English is not an added but essential qualification which every professional
must have. The dilemma in our country is that, English has been used as a

Translation (GT) Method, which is focused in our institutions, encircles
writing and reading and without enough emphasis on listening and speaking, we
cannot make this language our core strength. The rapidly growing corporate
world requires those who can communicate well and gain profitable options
without zero-waiting time. It is the right and ripe time to move ahead and
overcome this deficiency.

Forecasting
Techniques for Managers
|
Frequently
there is a time lag between awareness of an impending event or need and occurrence
of that event. This lead time is the main reason for planning and forecasting.
If the lead time is zero or very small, there is no need for planning. If the
lead time is long, and the outcome of the final event conditional on
identifiable factors, planning can perform an important role. In such
situations Forecasting is
needed to determine when an event will occur or a need arise, so that
appropriate actions can be taken.
This
course has been designed to fulfill that need. Furthermore given the broad
range of forecasting methods currently available, the greatest gains in the
practice of forecasting will come from more and better applications and
implementation, not new methods. Therefore it is the managers’ knowledge and
use of existing methods, in their specific organizational context, that hold
the greatest promise.

Effective
Employee Orientation
|
Orienting employees to their workplaces and
their jobs is one of the most neglected functions in many organizations. An employee handbook and piles of paperwork
is not sufficient anymore when it comes to welcoming a new employee to your
organization. The most frequent complaints about new employee orientation are
that it is overwhelming, boring, or that the new employee is left to sink or
swim. The result is often a confused new
employee who is not productive and is more likely to leave the organization
within a year.
With increasing labor turnover issue in
most of the organization, developing an effective employee orientation
experience continues to be crucial. It
is critical that new hire programs are carefully planned to educate the
employee to the values, history and who is who in the organization. A well thought out orientation program,
whether it lasts one day or six months, will help not only in retention of
employees, but also in productivity. Organizations that have good orientation
programs get their people up to speed faster, have better alignment between
what the employees do and what the organization needs them to do, and have
lower turnover rates.
In
this two-day course participants will learn the skills required to plan and
implement the effective employee orientation program for their new employees.

Effective
Purchase Management
|
Purchasing
is a managerial process that goes far beyond simply buying materials. It includes
planning and policy procedures that cover a wide range of related activities.
In analyzing business operations, the phrase value-added concept expresses the
difference between the cost of the component materials and the selling price of
a finished product. The average company purchases goods and services valued at
more than half of what it sells. An organization’s profit is thus, to a large
extent, determined by how effectively it procures and manages these materials.
The efficiency of
any organization is correspondingly contingent on the availability of component
parts and materials of the right quality, in the right quantity, at the right
time, at the right price, from the right source, and with delivery at the right
place. Failure in any of these areas increases costs and decreases profit and
can precipitate an economic crisis. In an increasingly globalized economy,
buyers find it necessary to become world-class customers. They need to know
their business so that they can effectively and efficiently satisfy the
increasingly complex needs of their internal customers.
This course as a
whole is designed to present the principles and procedures that represent the
most professional approach to purchasing in the private, public and nonprofit
sectors of our economy. This approach focuses mainly on industrial or
commercial purchasing in contrast to purchasing by household consumers.

Effective
Project Risk Management
|
Project
Risk Management is about looking into the future of the project toady to avoid
potential problems and seize potential opportunities lying ahead. Murphy says,
“If anything can go wrong, it will”, a corollary to it is that it will go wrong
at the most crucial time. And perhaps everyone working in project environment
can really appreciate this fact. Experts say that a critical difference between
good project managers and a mediocre is the difference between the ways they
handle the uncertainty in the project. Good project managers do not wait for
things to go wrong and then put blame on others; rather they foresee those
wrongs and try to cease them as an opportunity to improve rather then a problem
to be solved. This course is for people who want to be proactive but do not
have the knowledge and skills both hard and the soft, required being success
