Mr.S.Padmanabhan - TCS HR head lecture on CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Dear SPJIMR Family,
We, Team SamvaaD, would like to invite you to attend a guest lecture as a part of SamvaaD guest lecture series.
The aim of SamvaaD is to enhance industry – academia interaction.
The details of guest lecture are as follows –
Name of the guest : Mr. S. Padmanabhan
Designation :Executive Vice President and Head of Global Human Resources, Tata Consultancy Services
Topic :“Change Management”
Date : Friday, July 20, 2007
Time : 4:45 pm to 6:30 pm

        After not sleeping the entire night and really psyched after writing two tests back to back, i still managed to draw across enough enthusiasm to get over to Paddy's visit.
        Very frankly I would never-ever argue with the sanity of this decision of mine to stay behind at college for attending the guest lecture.
        Mr.S.Padmanabhan was a erudite speaker, on the topic of change management he started off thus , "All that I know about change management is during TCS, as that has been my life's job and it would be better if i talk about TCS"
        A complete jargon free, simplistic chat was what we got with a strong message of building up our own repute for change management. He was absolutely brilliant(almost a living inspiration), in the message he was trying to deliver, the method how he delivered and especially the Q & A session. What was really unique was his blending of humour into his narrative, for ex:
One of my friends asked him during the Q & A,
"What would be the qualities to be developed for becoming Global leaders ?"
"Well", he replied "Among the first things that come to my mind would be to never say NO, personally i always followed that principle... the first gal i met;i said YES"
